Lightning Tendrils

It's unusual, that's for sure. Might have some potential with CoC (big surprise there lol) but going crit selfcast doesn't seem like a good choice. 8 casts with spell echo and not rolling crit really brings your efficiency down. So either noncrit or totems?

I was sort of hoping for a Shocking Grasp type deal, or Lightning Touch from GW1. Something given to shock but not necessarily dealing much damage.

...Which used to be Arc, hahahaha.

That 25% damage effectiveness doesn't seem encouraging.



It strikes 4 times per cast, which makes it a 100% dmg effectivenes, no?

...Worst case scenario you lose four points of Damage due to rounding; you can never lose more than 1 potential Damage per Hit, because the game only rounds decimals. That's not going to make any appreciable difference.

(edit: also mutliple hits suffer less from highly variable Damage)

The casting animation reminds me of Adventure Time.

My main gripe with both skills, they trigger and either crit or not.

The herald of thunder, either it crits for 1 second straight or it doesn't, instead of rolling for a crit per actual lightning strike. (power charge on crit for example is uselles because of this)

Same with tendrils, you either crit for the 4 hit's or you don't.

And here i was hoping to put my Pcoc on my herald of thunder to feed me power charges while i run around....

Peace,

-Boem-

(i have the same gripe with all the vaal skills, either roll crit for its duration or not, instead of rolling for it every half a second)


It work that way with a lot of things,cyclone is same and it feels unnatural to me but I think it's to do with server load,less information to send back and forth.
