Lightning Spear, thank you GGG

When I was a teenager, one of the most exciting parts of my day was to get home from school, drop my backpack near my bed and sit on my pc to play me some diablo 2. This story is pretty common between PoE/PoE2 players.

My favorite character, I even played on hardcore, was the famous Javazon. And let me tell you; No other spell in Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Diablo 4, PoE1, Last Epoch, felt was good as seeing the multiple piercing Lightning Fury bolts spreads.

When I heard of the huntress, I kept my expectations low, I was skeptical. I went through the first zones of the first act with a mix of unimpressed and slightly annoyed. (I don't like the frenzy charge generation mechanic tied to parry + backflip)

But when I got lighting spear and tossed it for the first time... I legit felt like a teenager again. Everything about this attack feels good. The animation lenght puts some weight to the throw, the particle effects, the crackling sound of lightning. And when I thought it couldn't get better, I used it with a frenzy charge and DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. I don't even care if this attack isn't the best in the huntress kit, that is a balance act, but the attack itself? Woah, I'm quite impressed. Kudos to the artists and sound artists.

Thanks GGG.

Yeah, awesome!

I actually played a Javazon the last couple of days in D2R, up to the launch of the patch, to get in the mood. Made it halfway through act 1 in Hell. Should've started a day earlier.
