Does Conc. Effect work on Lightning Arrow?
Somebody told me that increased AOE passives worked... does conc effect work too?
They might not even be right so this could be a stupid question but I'm asking anyway ;) Last bumped on Mar 11, 2013, 4:14:12 AM

I have investigated, and discovered that the area part of lightning arrow does not get the stat added that marks it as area damage, allowing area damage modifiers to apply.
Edit: I discovered this is, at least for now, intended behaviour - lightning arrow isn't considered "area damage" because it doesn't hit all the things in an area - it chooses specific targets to hit. It will look less like an area effect when we have the tech to make lightning arc to the other targets from the initial target. Apologies for the confusion.

Apparently poison arrows cloud has the same issue. Will it also be affected by conc effect in the future?

Poison arrow has a different issue - it doesn't cause damage in the area, like lightning arrow or ice nova do, it puts debuffs on things in the area that cause things to take chaos damage over time.
Modifying damage you dealt to things you hit is very different to modifying degen/DoT effects, because they are fundamentally different. That said, yes, ideally we'll be able to apply some damage modifiers to degen/DoT effects at a later date, but that's not a simple fix of giving it a stat at the right time like lightning arrow. | |
While we have a dev on the spot, I have another question to ask about lightning arrow:
when using pierce or mult proj., can you hit the same monster twice through a lightning bounce? I've heard different opinions on the matter and it's really hard to test because of lightning's variability in damage. |

So it sounds like you are going to add some sort of chaining type graphic? so we can see better what is going on? I was hoping for something like that. each target it hits sends a direct line to each target that is close enough to be hit, might get messy haha.
I wish lightning strike was like that instead of balls going out. Hit the target in front of you, then anything close enough also gets discharged into and damaged. But oh well, variety is good. I still would rather have more meaningful abilities for physical damage based players. |

Wait. Will the Inc. AOE affecting Lightning strike be removed?

Hey Mark,
How's the tech coming along to show lightning arrow zapping the additional targets? I was saddened to learn concentrated effect doesn't apply to lightning arrow due to it being a zap rather than an aoe. Last edited by fadeawayyx#5597 on Feb 19, 2013, 2:41:37 PM
