The level 30 Amazon skill Lightning Strike seems to be buggy beyond repair. The inital lightning damage on the targeted monster is dealt ok but the additional chainlightning damage is very very low (perhaps something like 1).
Now I thought this was due to the low damage values for these bolts (something like LightningStrikeChainlightning) set in missiles.txt, but raising their damage didn't help either.

Any ideas how to fix the skill?

Hmmm... it did help for me... my 2K dmg chaos strike drops everything in Act2/NM in three or four hits.

Try setting the chain lightning bolts to pierce. At least this will cause many more bolts to be fired...

pierce mhm that might be worth a try. So do I understand this right and you actually changed them from non-pierce to pierce?

Yes; by setting the chain lightning bolts to pierce you get two bolts for every enemy hit. But increase the speed of the bolts, decrease the amount of bounces to 5 and/or add a timer, or else. *remembers completely white screenshots*

How do you make chain lihgtning piercing?

what columm do you have to set to what value.

I want to make the lightning tree more useful for a change.

I feel they it is too weak, especially with meteor doing 900 damage plus damage per second after... Oh yeah, add another 200% with fire mastery... woohoo!

Pierce.
Collidekill means that if the missiles collide the missiles will be killed so only one hit is possible.

I found the column minutes after making the post... silly me. But I still am not sure what value to set it too.

Is it just a straight boolean? 1 or 0.

Or is it a percentage... like 100 = 100% chance of piercing?

I should set collidekill to 0 then shouldn't I. That way it will pierce and not die.

1 = the missiles fly through the enemy
0 = the missiles don't fly through
this column is afaik boolean, no %'s

Thanks Everyone

Now Chainlighting is very nice. he he he.

I am really gonna need beta testers to tell me if its too powerful or not now. Of course if the enemies aren't close enough together the skill doesn't jump... So I guess it's kinda balanced.
