This can be great combined with Iron Mist... &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.211.148.16 (talk &bull; contribs) 12:05, 25 April 2006 (CDT).

The strategy guide says that the damage on this spell is much more. Can anyone verify those numbers? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.94.180.161 (talk &bull; contribs) 19:34, 30 April 2006 (CDT).

The guide is old, that's why shadow refuge still shows the half damage for 4 seconds and then a lot more healing when it's over. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.119.184.80 (talk &bull; contribs) 20:56, 12 June 2006 (CDT).

That guy in Haiju lagoon does 460 damage with this to my Ele. :S &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bexor (talk &bull; contribs) 11:12, 15 June 2006 (CDT).
 * Well probably because "that guy" is a boss and "that guy" is 8 levels above you. --Draygo Korvan 11:15, 15 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes, that annoying boss almost ended my assassin's attempt to get the survivalist title. I think they bumped up all the boss damage though. Even at level 20, the ele boss in the Maishang Hills managed to deal about 100 damage with Lightning Strike!

Bosses seem to have 16 attribute in whatever they use. Though sometimes it seems like their damage is a bit crazy.
 * Bosses get a kind of damage bonus due to the armor calculation. Against mobs of higher levels, you always have "weaker" armor. ~ Nilles (chat) 06:14, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
 * And Canthan bosses get double damage on top of their level-based damage bonus. Apparently they messed up that guy's stats though, because they fixed his insane damage in a recent patch. -- Gordon Ecker 18:38, 18 September 2006 (CDT)

It's useful when capping in alliance battles as the NPCs generally don't side-step the attack.

Could make a spike build with this now that the damage is decent. Either fastcast Me/Rts with Binding Chains or Rt/Es with Iron Mist or Gale.

Even against real players this is a joy, most of the time people will ignore it for some reason, or realise what it is too late. I luv layerin on the pressure with this thing.

I hate bosses with this skill..... --Rmg 171091 07:47, 12 February 2007 (CST)

Iron Mist + Spirit Rift + Lightning Surge? ...--Rickyvantof 11:53, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

Iron Mist + Lightning Surge + Spirit Rift :D--Relyk 05:58, 7 April 2007 (CDT)

spirit rift sucks, I cast iron myst on the ranger at the isle of the nameless (90% slowdown), cast spirit rift but doesn't hit him, he just walks out of the radius most of the time, and 66% slowdown does not help either against other targets

has anyone else noticed how the sound effect for when it deals damage sounds like the Boo's from Super Mario? Cg guy 05:06, 14 May 2007 (CDT)


 * now that rt spike is meta no one is stupid enough to stand in the rift for too long. That's why I bring water trident =) M s4 07:59, 14 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Can someone figure what effect this has on a player with Shadow Form? The CBR
 * I recently hit an assassin in AB with this, the only thing you can't do is target the assassin to cast the spell, so it must be cast on a different enemy and the assassin needs to run into it. -Hesus
 * So the assassin can still be hit by it while under the effects of shadow form if (s)he runs into it?--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 02:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Why wouldn't it? It's basically Meteor (which is a slightly delayed AoE spell) or 1 hit from Meteor Shower. If you dump MS in there and a SF sin walks into it, ofc they'll be hit by it! --Gimmethegepgun 02:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Long casting times + aftercast is bleh. Works in PvE since monsters are usually too dumb to scatter, but... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 21:04, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
