Lightning Shock bug

[täisdibla]

It deals 140% damage instead of 100%. Fix it please.

It doesn't, it only originally ignore the AC of the target. Same for Converting Armor. To be honest now that both attack drop AC, their damages could be reduced. I have seen Archers killing a priest only using this attack by doing about 14k damages per hit.

Indeed. Reduce their damage, since the Skill is good enough cause it's lowering the opponents AC, so if the Skill has also insane Damage it's somehow overpowered.

14k is from distance and using g20dist+another force item g7-g8. and only when the ac has been dropped
Befor that its 9-10k per shot and much less if the target moves closer , is close by.
Vigilante with similar items can hit up to 14k without ac drop and significantly more afterwards.

Alltought i agree it deals alot damage but i also think due to the fragile nature of archers its exactly what was missing.
Also you have to agree it is quite easy do dodge it while running sideways.

And consider:
Wizards 1fb all archers in the first year of server.
Fencer still 1rose force built archer with little effort
BL is single hit deadly on 90% of occasions when archer is wearing a bow
Archer can not slow the opponent for a easy kill.
Other team mates can block that ranged damage by runnin on the way of the arrow.

Have you even tested this skill in game?
Just try attacking a damn tactic pole with it. The damage went from 2800 to 4500. That is not how the skill is supposed to work.

Converting armor is the same skill as it was before but with a added ac debuff - the damage is reduced by sfd or any other protection spell, you can test and see.
Lightning shock now does increased damage similar to converting (+160%) AND ignores protection buff AND has ac debuff.. but previously it was normal hit damage+chance to pierce protection.

Eventually it comes to the fact that both classes deal same amount of damage to high ac opponent, but archer has to use distance rares +is vuneralbe and hits can be dodged when warrior can just 2-3hit kill an previously pepsied opponent and is pretty much solid rock like the warriors are.
If decreasing damage i would change lightning boom damage to 100% as it was before. Damage increase is another skill called Thunder strike.
I will also present calculation: warrior 180tt, g20force fencer, Normal hit damage 22000 to tt pole, piercing skill now adds up around 160% deals 35200 damage to tt pole.
Opponent AC = 200, but is decreased to 175ac witch is 58,3% damage reduction. This means that Warrior deals 41,7% of 35200 damage with single hit to a 200 ac opponent witch is 14k.
To a 60ac archer (non conqueror) thats 28000damage from single melee hit when defence buff on so i can understand why täisdibla may be upset.

Edit: I have just tested it and using lvl 1 lightning shock on a 95tt 75piercing weapon user warrior with no force increased damage from 2800 to 4400 and the damage remained 4400 when opponent had sfd/def buff on.


Funny how everyone jump to archer without seeing a greater flaw in extremely seriously overpowered warrior.
Also when archer is using dist-set he is not using fire bow, giving wizard chance to 1fb kill him

I dunno is it overpowered or not, but SHARK put 17k per stack(each lightning shock) on me o.o
50khp = 17k x3Hits owned lol

Means warrior use pepsi + lightning shock will own a lot by simply1 right click + 3auto clickso.o

[täisdibla]

It's overpowered AND it's BUGGED, this is the main point of this topic. It's a bug report. Lightning shock was never meant to deal 160% damage. It's like double strike that pierces defense spells, SS, drops AC and has more charges. What the f***? Why isn't this patched yet?

[Dragonrajashop]

Indeed its bugged. Should be fixed ASAP, even though I am warrior
