The lightning strike on damage echo is either broken or just horrible. The lightning bolt that strikes is anemic and never seems to do any damage. The plagued version that strikes the player, for comparison, is monstrous with fully fleshed out graphics and controller vibration.
Oh, and the “reduces healing effects 50%” plagued echo is horrendously brutal. Even after taking two extra +healing % echoes it was totally crippling. Might be worth looking into how it’s calculating.
You need to use a fast hitting weapon for the lightning strike, it just melts everything when the chance of proc is higher, it was one of the only abilities that helped me a lot to boost damage against the Echo Knight, i killed him very fast with that thing.
Weird. This was my 5th character. She’s dex based using a jacknife, so the weapon is really fast. When the lightning would trigger it was just two skinny jagged lines and not much else. It also didn’t seem to strike near the target. I tried it a couple of times with same result. I guess I’ll have to grab it again and see if the weapon or build makes a difference.
