Post some mapping or merciless videos of some static strike gameplay please.

Etup's took static strike to maps until he vaporized himself to ele reflect. His VODs have a lot of content. http://www.twitch.tv/etup

I'm kind of on the fence about it. It's great in Normal, and even in Cruel, where monster ele resist doesn't actually exist, but no matter how much fancy dancing I do that 60% conversion to lightning looks pretty damn crummy against resist mobs when you don't have the luxury of a cursing party member.

If I could run a lightning to physical gem on an Arc witch, I would in a heartbeat. Physical damage is just that good (bar Reflect issues).

dat 50% weapon effectiveness AoE

It's kind of a bummer they used Diablo 2's affix system, instead of pools based on an item-for-item basis. Then we'd have options for Lightning Damage weapons besides Hyaon's Fury.

Elemental prefixes were always on the weak side, but getting two physical prefixes to square one another was like waiting for Moses to appear and part the sea in the old days.

etup proof it and ripped by reflect lol
