Lightning is a Sorceress Skill in Diablo II.

Lore[]

This spell allows a Sorceress to summon the very power of the heavens and emit a tremendous surge of electrical energy. Creating a channel of lightning directed at her target, she cuts a swath through her opponents with pinpoint accuracy.

General Information[]

Synergies[]

  • Gives synergy to:
Charged Bolt: +6% Lightning damage per level
Chain Lightning: +4% Lightning damage per level
  • Receives synergy from :
Charged Bolt: +8% Lightning damage per level
Nova: +8% Lightning damage per level
Chain Lightning: +8% Lightning damage per level

With synergies in account, Lightning is the most powerful of the Sorceress' Lightning Spells, even more so than Thunder Storm. However, its maximum and minimum damage varies wildly.

Lightning is the spell of choice for most enemies skilled in lightning-type spells, such as Mephisto and Ghosts. The spell shoots a piercing lightning bolt in a straight line, and thus is less accurate than Chain Lightning. However, this is compensated for with its greater destructive potential.
