That said, it can at times be more effective than Lightning Strike is listed as a skill that automatically hits and should therefore not require attack rating. This is however only partially true. The lightning damage that is directly added by the skill is autohitFury against small, the weapon damage (and with it the influence of your charms and gear) still requires attack rating. The chance to hit for this is the same as for "normal attack". The Chain Lighting effect has a jump radius loose packs of 6enemies.6 yards When synergized, but occurs quite infrequently compared to this value. Attack rating does not seem to influence this. The confusing part of the skill is that it gives the impression that the Chain Lightning effect does a 's damage of 195-215 at level 20is fairly decent, but this is lightning damage that is directly added to and while Lightning Fury needs the hit. The damage from the Chain Lightning is much lower and thought packs to be related all together to the sorceress skillbe most effective, but than Lightning Strike can bounce from enemy to act with a lower level than 20. The skill is not very viable in hell difficulty because the Chain Lightning damage is far too low. It seems enemy, sometimes that appearing to strike the direct lightning damage that the skill adds is overwritten by the Chain Lightingsame one multiple times, rendering your attack useless. What many people think and conclude is that Lighting Strike is a horrible skillpotentially doing more damage. In normal it However, once the pack is indeed not extremely powerful since you will most likely not get it above level 5 down to 10. Starting and through the entire nightmare difficulty howeverthree or less, a maxed Lighting Strike does quite acceptable damage. With good bonus skills (10+) charged strike once again outshines it is in fact quite effective in damaging groups of creatures (Note that it is not as powerful as fend isby far, nor as good as the javelin skill Lighting Fury). In hell it is still a good skill to kill physical immune creatures with and maybe some groups bouncing effect of carvers and wraith type creature in act 1 and 2. This is however at Lightning Strike isn't so effective against a skill level group of 20 to 25. Soon after that it becomes less and less attractive for sing against large powerful groups and fend is recommended. We are still debating on how exactly it workssize, but from what we can say while firing a number of high damage charged bolts is that Blizzard has been messing with skill combinations the way it's not supposed to and we hope it is fixed in version 1.10.
==5. How does Impale work? Should I max it?==
