Shouldn't "Ride the Lightning" be added to this list? - &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.50.197.53 (talk &bull; contribs) 13:28, 28 June 2006.
 * Yes, and I added it now based on this comment. However, feel free to add information that you think should be there.  Be bold, as they say. - Greven 20:21, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

I've kept wondering, does a Storm Bow do lightning damage?--Relyk 03:32, 23 January 2007 (CST)

Vs. Enchanted
Tested using a Shocking Ascalon Shortbow and a Fiery Composite Bow with identical requirements and other mods, marksmanship at 13. Used no bow attacks/skills to increase damage.

Versus the Enchanted Swords, Enchanted Bows, and Enchanted Hammers around Dunes of Despair:

Shocking damage was from 20 min...70 max.

Fiery damage was from 15 min...30 max.

70 damage versus Enchanted is a lot, due to their high AL. A Warrior using Executioner's Strike at Axe Mastery 13 and with a 15^50 customized axe that deals slashing damage would be lucky to achieve the same results.

The only other possibility is that Enchanted are weak to piercing damage, however this seems highly unlikely, noting the results for the Fiery Composite Bow.

An Elementalist with Lightning Surge would be needed to better test this, as that is one of the only lightning spells that does not have 25% Armor Penetration. A Ritualist would work as well.

 * emm they might be weak against lightning damage and not fire damage. -- Xeon 03:42, 23 January 2007 (CST)
