July 26 Screenshot of the Week - Shock Nova

Today's screenshot shows a Templar using a previously unannounced skill in an Act Two dungeon. Shock Nova is a lightning spell that causes a ring of energy to expand from the caster. It deals lightning damage to foes, ramping up in damage as it expands. The damage is highest towards the maximum radius of the spell.

It does expand to quite a lot larger than the picture shows :)

Chris, is that skeleton being shocked from Shock Nova or is a mage skeleton? o:

Love: An unexplainable feeling involving zombies, electricity and sufficient mana or energy.
I love virtual brutality so save it for the Mobs...
damn templar looks better and better
Looks sweet, love the bluish surrounding the templar.
Can't wait to try it out in game.

Question that I will probably find out eventually but want to know now anyway: Does shock nova have anything different about it from ice nova except new special effects and that it deals shock damage?
Second week with with one of the Sorceress' Lightning spells, keep them coming (=

It deals lower damage near the player. The perfect skill to cast while running away or herding monsters.
