    When you cast Lightning Blast you have a chance to be granted Lightning Aegis, which grants 50% increased lightning damage and 25% less damage taken. Lightning Aegis causes an explosion of lightning damage when you lose 25% of your health or after 10 seconds.
    Overcharge4
    • Doublecast Chance 6% per point
    • Critical Multiplier +10% per point

    Lightning Blast chains an additional time for each Lightning Blast you have directly cast recently up to a maximum.

    • Chains To Allies
    • Increased Damage Granted 20%
    • Increased Crit Chance Granted 50%
    Lightning Blast can now chain to you or your allies, granting increased damage and critical strike chance for 4 seconds. This buff cannot stack.
    Supercharged Floes1
    • Lightning Damage -> Cold Damage
    • Shock Chance -> Chill Chance
    • Freeze Rate 46
    Lightning Blast now has a chance to freeze and its base lightning damage is converted to cold damage. Consequently this damage scales with increases to cold damage, but not increases to lightning damage. Shock chance from this tree is converted to chill chance.
    Insidious Conduction1
    • Lightning Blast Is Channelled
    • Mana Cost Per Second 40
    • Casts Between Chaining 4
    • Ward On Hit -50%
    Lightning Blast is now a powerful channelled attack, hitting enemies caught within it but costs mana per second to channel and provides less ward when you hit enemies. You do not regenerate mana while channelling. This is incompatible with the Focal Blast node. If you have taken both, this will not work. Lightning Blast cannot double cast and only chains every 5th cast if it is channelled. Lightning blast hits grant half as much ward from the Positive Protection node and have 50% reduced chance to apply ailments.
    Chain Lightning4
    • Maximum Additional Chains +1 per point
    • Mana Cost +3 per point
    Lightning blast can chain additional times, but costs more mana.
    Focal Blast1
    • Lightning Blast Deals Damage In A Line
    • Damage Per Maximum Additional Chains +30%
    Lightning Blast now deals damage to all enemies in a line, but no longer chains or forks. Lightning Blast hits deal more damage (multiplicative with other modifiers) for each time it would have chained (up to your maximum). This node is incompatible with the Insidious Conduction node. If you have taken both, Insidious Conduction will not work.
    Convergence1
    • Lightning Blast Chains Only To First Target Hit
    • Half Maximum Chains
    Lightning Blast chains now hit the same target after a delay, but no longer chains to additional enemies. Lightning Blast chains half as many times rounded up.
