Talk:Arc Lightning

For what Ive seen this skill is terribad the damage is low and it takes too much to damage cause its a channelled skill. Its better to spam Lightning Strike 3 times in a row then using this. I hope theyll fix the damage. 151.66.252.131 10:41, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Wiki mainspace talk pages are not a forum to discuss skill balance issues. Mediggo 12:33, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Particularly when the game isn't released yet. Of course there are numbers issues in an unfinished game. ¬_¬ A F K When Needed 15:42, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

So I guess it's safe to say that this skill was inspired by Star Wars? 62.163.18.137 15:37, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Probably, but getting people to agree on trivia is far more effort than it's worth. -- Armond Warblade 16:06, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Wait, wut? How is this related to Star Wars at all? —Dr Ishmael 16:26, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

It grants you unlimited power. -- Armond Warblade 16:28, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Eh, weak. A hand throwing lightning is by no means unique to Star Wars, nor did it originate with Star Wars. —Dr Ishmael 17:10, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Which is exactly why it'll be impossible to get people to agree. -- Armond Warblade 16:12, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Damage numbers shown on screen are innacurate

This is an awful skill but new players can get tricked into thinking its good by watching the damage numbers showing on the screen. For whatever reason these are too high. Look at the numbers in the damage log to see the real numbers and see how weak this skill is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.91.29.44 (talk) at 01:08, 30 January 2014 (UTC).

That's true for every skill in the game that does damage over multiple packets. Vili 点 03:59, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Exactly. The floater is cumulative, so that the final number shows the total damage from all packets. The combat log is distinct, showing the damage from each individual packet. —Dr Ishmael 04:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
