living lightning damage? help plz

Does anyone know how much damage living lightning does? it just says increased attack damage and speed from attributes but doesn't say anything about the initial damage? I placed it on herald of lightning does it scale off of that damage or is it scaling off of my weapon damage???

I was using it for awhile but I just could not get them to do any meaningful damage. It looks really cool at least, and if you put them on more than one skill you can actually summon a lot of them.

Maybe if you specd full minions they would do something but at that point you have a lot better options.

Maybe someone who knows more about the game interactions in depth could make it work.

I am actually using it in a tactician build and I am torn between "does nothing" and "is actually good" every couple of maps ;). They do "shock" "sometimes... also sometimes map bosses..


I decided to keep it anyway, because if there is anyway to scale them then my 500 str + 2H mace and "whatch me how I do it" should be the way...

But there are so many question marks here? does the "effective damage" scale with level? Only the base damage? what about base attack speed? or to be more precise "what actually scales, and how" per level of the "gem" (or more precise per level of the gem triggering living lightning). What is the actual difference between the two support gems (lvl 1 or lvl2?)

I would really appreciate if we could get some more info here?

They don't scale with support gems and don't do any significant damage even with full minion scaling.

I think they're mainly just intended to give an option for extracting impales.
