Lightning Strike

I swear that there are sometimes hit detection issues with the weapon; I'll hit at melee range, half of the time the full damage gets registered, half of the time they only take the physical.

VHow does it works with the support More Melee Damage? It increases the melee hit damage obviously, but I don't know if its increasing my projectiles damage.

Anyone tested it? Help please Mark =D

I'm really interested by the answer too.
I would like to level a lightning character using Spark and LS (mainly LS in open area and ranged enemies). To increase my damage, should I only focus on lightning dmg and spell dmg or must I take some physical damage too ?

The answer will totally change my build.

Best regards.

Hi all

I would like to make a suggestion regarding the projectiles of lightning strike and their functionality when using it with the stop motion shift+left mouse click command.

I believe it would be great for the handling of the skill, if it could work similar to e.g. freezing pulse with lmp:

Allow the angle of the three projectiles to vary depending on wether you shift click closer or further away from the player. Currently the almost 90° make it feel a bit unhandy.

best, c4ph

I got a question about this skill.

If I got life on hit support with this skill, does it give life for each hit by the projectiles or only for the melee hit before projectiles are fired?

If I got gain x% mana from physical attacks passive, does it work with projectiles as well? I would guess not since they are lightning damage but I wanted to make sure.

Am playing my first melee character and just got this skill. Tested lightning strike solo in three different instances this morning (using only that skill) and not one single item dropped in any of the instances. Is that just incredibly bad luck? One instance ok, but all three?

How many monsters did you kill with in this test? cause that might just be bad luck. I haven't heard any complaints about loot not dropping due to lightning strike before.

I held down the Alt key and went everywhere looking for drops. Nothing. Killed the usual number of monsters in Ledge and Underground maps. I know that Sacred skewed drops so that those from ranged and magic weapons were substantially less than melee ones. Didn't know if that was the case here. Guess it just wasn't my lucky day.
