I’ve always wondered, will they ever make lightning bolt be a spell for rummages? Where it can hook on to several enemies, that would be dope!

And you can drop it from the sky, with like a hand guesture motion with your wand downwards! Like this it almost sounds like a possibility for a new class with their sky attack dropping ability

I’d love this idea cause as of right now mage consists of mostly fireball 2 and affliction 2 to hit that high dps which is unfortunate
And what if in pvp instead of just hurting each other they lock on like I Harry Potter

The idea is cool and all but I think it would bee too hard to balance, it would probably be either so much dps that people will only use it or too little dps that it would be useless, maybe if it was an AOE interrupt but that could remove the need for musket interrupt.
But this Idea could be interesting to test.
True, but players only spam fire ball, so this could give them another alternative
If they ever did make lightning bolt, what would lvl 1, lvl 2, and lvl 3 lightning bolt look like?
The mage already has an AOE interuput. Pushback 2

Ok, but what would they look like?
That was exactly what I was saying a lighting spell
Or even better a control spell. you can take control of monsters to fight the other ones well like pokemon
But temporary.
The only problem with this is that the devs would have to rework and implement a new rune to the system and that could possibly break the current short cuts in the game.

Kovirr is right they said it on the forums themselves just couldn’t find post.
Just pointing out mage ult makes a thundering sound so they could just buff that thing up, do something about the accuracy and reanimate it to do a lighting bolt shock from above doing an aoe attack

This sounds to me like the lightning strike spell in Wands. It’s a high damage spell that shoots a bolt of electricity from the casters wand but there is a casting time of a second or so when the charge builds up. This may mean that if the opponent interrupts the build up the spell is aborted. Maybe too hard to implement.
Yup gotta fix the Ultimate , it is a laser lightning strike , but it is broken.
It tends to not hit due to it shooting in vive orientation no matter your orientation
And far less damage then before.
So aim 45 degrees down if you are cv1 playing steam thru oculus sdk.
Back in OG that bolt would chunk bosses. You felt awesome getting it off and it had neigh infinite range so sometimes it would be the only damage I’d do on that boss 3? That was a room away from me all fight. You felt like an arcane sniper as you should shooting off a lightning bolt at your enemies.
Also extend the range of shocking grasp please.
A thrown bard mallet can hit farther away than it.
