Lightning Class: Sorceress (Diablo IV) Skill Category: Minor Destruction Active Launch a bolt of lightning that deals Lightning damage and bounces to nearby enemies, dealing 30% less to each enemy hit. Damage Type: Lightning |
Lightning is a Destruction Lightning spell used by Sorceress in Diablo IV. It resembles the Electrocute spell more than other versions of Lightning.
In-game[]
Unlike the previous versions, Lightning does not pierce and does not do random damage anymore, but instead works as a weakened variant of Chain Lightning, bouncing from foe to foe, weakening with each jump. The number of bounces increases with the spell rank.
To compensate, it does not cost any Mana to cast, unlike the Chain Lightning, and has no cooldown.
