Static surge nerf is a small but extremely bad change

  • Fixed an issue where the Static Surge legendary node would trigger from automatic casts of skills, such as the Chain Lightning enchantment.

This is a really really bad change. It’s basically killed off the key utility piece that could help tie together interesting and unconventional hybrid lightning builds, particularly Elemental builds combining two or three elements.

With Static Surge and CL enchant you could get some mana regen and ability to automatically apply vulnerable. You could basically add this to any build that is lacking on regen or a way to apply vuln. There are numerous hybrid builds I was looking forward to trying using this, but now it just won’t work.

I believe this change was listed as a bug fix. It is a clear example of something that was better when NOT working as intended. We should’ve guessed that was the case because there was no way this cool interaction could’ve been intentionally thought out by the devs.

Blame Selig. It wouldn’t have been a thing if it wasn’t for Selig.
