Arc Lash is a Destruction Lightning spell used by Sorceress in Diablo IV, serving as a close combat alternative to Lightning.
In-game[]
Arc Lash works similarly to Spectral Blade by blasting a wide, but short-ranged area in front of the Sorceress.
Unlike other Minor Destruction spells, it generates Mana when its effect ends, but only if it actually hits an enemy and only after a brief delay. It costs no Mana and has no cooldown.
