Noticing an issue where the consistent channel of lightning storm sometimes doesn’t keep registering on single target bosses/enemies as if the strikes are hitting around the enemy itself while giving the animation of a lightning strike on the target but not registering damage. Not sure if this is intended or not. Currently level 84 running lightning storm werewolf.

Wonder if it could just be a display bug failing to show the numbers.
you are not alone my friend (Bug Forum PC)

Sounds like it is due to the (useless) choice to call it a “channeled” ability. There’s no +#[x]% damage done by channeling abilities, so this was pointless and is probably interfering in several ways, acting more like DOTs in WOW.
This build works despite this bug: The Complete Lightning Storm Guide
I was thinking it had something to do with the ability being channeled or the size preservation modifier. To your previous comment it is not just a display bug I am witnessing. I run around 33-34% crit chance & 34% lucky hit chance. When in grizzly rage and continuous ramping critical damage I hit around 250k+ per strike easily and higher. These strikes are very noticeable on health bars but there is just nothing happening sometimes even on non crit strikes as if its not registering damage onto the target.
I Also am struggling with attack speed bonuses and lightning storm.
- With 40% 60% and 96% bonus attack speed I noticed the channel effect does not change speeds.
- When using blood howl during channeling the speed increases.
- When charging the storm to 6 bolts and then mashing the button instead of holding it the speed goes up dramatically.
I am not sure if this is bugged or intended, and if the attack speed bonuses increase the speed at which I can spam the button or not.
I don’t think attack speed bonuses affect it at all, due to it being considered a “channeled” ability. My main concern is small single target hitboxes on various bosses the lightning strikes aren’t necessarily focusing them. I have heard several work arounds but I can’t seem to nail it down. One was allowing a few strikes to hit then start tap spamming it. But this is hit or miss for me usually.
Bump, would like to use that build!
This bug still not fixed.
I noticed even more bugs about this one, not only “getting struct” But also that (+1 extra lighting) node does not work and does not applies on skill text.
Same BUG with the Earth Spike aswell (second spike doeas not appears)
Well lightning storm currently has 2 bugs:
- It doesnt need atk speed after channeling 6 stacks (someone already described it)
- It doesnt need los after seeing an area at least once (could be intended though because lightning comes from above
)
So using a 2 handed weapon is the prefered way to go (even when you cant get that cooldown reduction and crit from the offhand)
