Talk:Lightning Strike

Rumour: Lightning Strike always hits the head (helmets, etc.) Anyone know for sure if this is true, and what other skills this may be true for? --JoDiamonds 17:10, 23 October 2005 (EST)


 * I'd figure Lightning Strike, Chain Lightning (for the first target it hits) and Enervating Charge. The three spells send a lightning bolt to strik the enemy on his head. I do not however have any clue whether or not they do target the headgear. --Karlos 19:10, 23 October 2005 (EST)


 * I reckon they'd just count as hitting 'from above', increasing the chance of hitting the head via that game mechanic. --Serps 20:45, 23 October 2005 (EST)


 * Spells that autohit always hit the chest. --Fyren 02:47, 24 October 2005 (EST)


 * So both these statements, Lightning hits the head and spells that auto hit will hit the chest are "urban legends" I have heard in game a lot. Is there any proof to either? Is it on a case by case basis per spell? Is this tested? Mind Burn and Mind Shock icons show the spell hitting the head, are they exceptions? --Karlos 15:02, 24 October 2005 (EST)


 * This is easily verified against the doppelganger. Take off your armor besides chest.  Take an autohit spell.  When he casts it it won't do astronomical damage to you.  (Perhaps bring skills to help you evade/block attacks, since his bow will sting a little when it hits a non-chest location.)  --Fyren 15:34, 24 October 2005 (EST)
