Storm Razor | 3 |
| Improves Lightning Blast's base critical strike chance, and Lightning Blast deals more damage (multiplicative with other modifiers). | ||
Divergence | 1 |
| Lightning Blast hits have added lightning damage, and Lightning Blast chains can fork in addition to chain. | ||
Lightning Attunement | 2 |
| 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. | ||
Overcharge | 4 |
| Lightning Blast has a chance to double cast, and Lightning Blast critical strikes deal more damage. Lightning Blast cannot double cast if it is channelled or cast by another skill. | ||
Frontloaded | 5 |
| Lightning Blast deals more damage (multiplicative with other modifiers), but this damage bonus is lessened each time Lightning Blast chains. | ||

| While out of mana, Lightning Blast has no cost, but cannot chain. | ||
Hypercharge | 1 |
| When double casting, Lightning Blast instead has a chance to quadruple cast. Lightning Blast cannot quadruple cast if it is channelled. | ||
Countenance of Mana | 2 |
| Reduces Lightning Blast's channel cost if Lightning Blast cannot chain. | ||
Arcing Power | 4 |
| Lightning Blast chains an additional time for each Lightning Blast you have directly cast recently up to a maximum. | ||
Closed Circuit | 1 |
| 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 Floes | 1 |
| 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 Conduction | 1 |
| 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 Lightning | 4 |
| Lightning blast can chain additional times, but costs more mana. | ||
Focal Blast | 1 |
| 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. | ||
Convergence | 1 |
| 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. |
