Lightning Damage

Tooltip

Lightning damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Lightning Resistance. Lightning hits have a chance to Shock based on how much Lightning damage is dealt.

Lightning damage is one of the five damage types, and one of the three types of elemental damage. It can be mitigated by lightning resistance. Lightning damage can inflict shock and can be made to inflict electrocute buildup.

Lightning is not usually associated with damage over time.

Mechanics

Lightning damage modifiers usually have an extreme range, with the minimum damage often in the one or two-digit range, but the maximum damage significantly higher than all other damage types. This makes it use the lucky mechanic most effectively.

Lightning damage inherently can inflict shock, which increases damage taken, and can also be made to inflict electrocute buildup, a crowd control effect.
