Lightning Strike Multistrike Bugfix Incoming
" iron grip passsiv does not work on the LS projectiles? good to know. my duelist is at 78 and 2 points away from iron grip, i have 3 choices for my next passivs- either 1 point to 3*10 weapon ele damage, like mentioned 2 pts for iron grip or with 1 point i could try point blank. does at least point blank work with LS projectiles? or are only the elemental passivs helping with damage (and if it don´t it should say that on the skill tree, same with iron grip... )? i have 80 allres, 30 chaos res and 50% pysical red, 70%+ with charges and OVER 9000 with flasks... so i don´t die- but dps is only good enough that it´s fun playing solo until 68 map (have arround 4.1 k dps), so i´m looking for a way to push my offense now... good that i read this bevor i specced into iron grip... |

" Just to clarify, it's not that Iron Grip "doesn't work" on Lightning Strike, its just that Lightning Strike already benefits from str, so the same effect does not apply twice.

" a good way to say it doesnt work, Yes ? |
|
" thx for the info! what about point blank, does it work with LS? i like to be close to mobs (for charges also i like to jump into the middle of the action) so it seems like a good choice, but i could be wrong- if LS is considered a melee attack that additionally shoots out projectiles, but PB only checks if the initial attack is a projectile attack... i have 50 % of the xp bar until i have to make the decission ;) sry for OT |

" wiki says it does, QQ, weird ! since clearly LS is a melee skill and projectile effects shouldnt work ! lol Dernière édition par bloody1001#3298, le 17 avr. 2013 à 14:28:24

Edit: After some clarification it seems obvious to me that Iron Grip does indeed work with the projectile part of LS.

How many times do I need to say this? The projectiles are NOT based off of your MELEE damage! They are based off of your PHYSICAL Damage! This is why gems like Melee Physical Damage does NOT increase the projectile damage!
Also, the tooltip dps shows you your damage with the MELEE portion of the attack, which is why modifiers like point blank don't show any difference. |

" Again, Lighting Strike is a skill that shoots out part of your melee dmg as projectiles. This means that there are two chances for dmg bonuses/reduction to apply. The first stage of the skill is the melee part. At this stage, any modifiers to melee dmg should apply. After that, the dmg from melee is carried over to the projectiles, at which point projectile modifiers (such as Point Blank, Lesser/Greater Multiple Projectiles) is applied. This means that melee bonus/reduction should apply to both the melee part and projectile part, but projectile modifiers only apply to the projectile part. Edit: Actually, I just read Tyronis3's post, and I could be wrong about the stuff I've said up to this point (or I could be right, it's hard to tell when the proj dmg does not show up on the tooltip). However, I do still think multistrike should reduce LS projectile damage, since having it not apply does not intuitively seem balanced to me. It would be like allowing the explosion damage from Explosive Arrow to not be affected by dmg reduction from LMP, giving you triple the number of explosions for no cost.

Seems like GGG is becoming blizzard... Nerf everything to the level of the weakest link rather than buff everything to the strongest
LoLd. Also lold hard to see their focus on nerfing things/microtransactions rather than desync/glitches. |

" Point Blank would never show any change anyway.... Again, as I said on last page: your *physical damage* is the damage the attack would have dealt in melee. As it is a *melee* skill, the *melee* portion of the damage is affected by Melee Physical Damage as well as Strength. Then, after that, half of the physical damage is converted to Lightning Damage, and the projectile damage is calculated off of the Lightning damage.... Therefore Melee Physical damage *does* increase the projectiles of the skill. Alteration Orb Union Local #7 I'll smash your nose with 20 Alterations before I'll sell them for 1 lousy Chaos. 16:1.
