"No stop tickling me teehee Haha stahp please" giggled Piety at the poor Arc Witch

(quality)arc+chain+culling+IIR+IIQ and shock chance with summons... still crap 'cause it costs millions to cast :P

Arc has never worked well, which sucks. It would be really nice to play with!

Arc mages in a3 rape your face with arc though. You can't explain that...

Probably cos there's 3-4 of them zapping you at once, getting you shock stacked with guards ready to charge you for 120% more damage.

In theory it's a support skill...

If arc was considered a projectile
and had it's damage penalty reduced a small amount
then it would be viable

I promoted this idea at the beginning of onslaught. I believe the balancing team are aware that currently arc isn't very viable as a main form of dps. I think it will be rebalanced on release, but I'm not sure it will be considered a projectile. Charan has played with arc a lot to my knowledge and had to take a break due to its ineffectiveness but said it shouldn't be considered as a projectile. One point he mentioned that it should chain an extra time if it crits. I like this idea, but it still wouldn't be effective against single targets. Again, I'm sure GGG are working something out, let's just hope its for release which isn't too far away =D
