Explain lightning charms

Considering im nowhere close havin bunch of +1 gc so i was curoius on the lighte charms. So if u add a lightning charm for javazon it adds dmg to the stats page for light fury but doesnt add it to dmg on the skill bar fury. So how can you legit tell if this help with dmg or is it maybe just helps on charge strike since its melee or does it do nothing for both on a javazon

  • lightning damage is melee damage only. So it does not affect the lightning bolts shooting off just the initial impact. They are junk. Unless you are doing a punch barb.

Ok so if something like griffon eye says +10% lightning dmg does this work for a javazon for addin dmg to fury or do ppl use that helm just for resist stat.

+% lightning damage affects all lightning damage (So yeah Griffon’s Eye is a great item for a javazon)
+1-XXX lightning damage is a melee only affect. It is not very useful outside of twinking. Most builds would prefer +max/min damage charms as those are affected by Str/increased dmg %

An important thing to note is that does not count minions. Trapsin gets no benefit out of lowered light resist from griffon eye at all.
