Thunderblight

Description

Harnesses the Sluagh's innate attraction to a being's internal darkness to create an intangible chain between the caster and the target, through which energy can flow. By channeling lightning elementals through it, the caster can deal continuous damage, while minimizing energy blowback. Once the chain is stable, it can maintain itself independently, allowing the caster to use other skills and take other actions.

Details

• Requires a Wand or Staff to use.
• Forms a chain of Dorcha and Lightning that continuously attacks a target within range.
• Requires a target within range to use the skill.
  • The skill has no load time, and will immediately consume Dorcha and Mana to begin attacking the selected target (or the closest enemy to the user if no target is selected).
• The skill can be activated even if the user currently has another skill loaded.
  • The other skill must be fully loaded. For example, you cannot activate Thunderblight while charging a Magic skill, but you can do so if the skill is fully charged.
• While active, the user is free to move and use other skills. Pressing the skill hotkey again while it is active will end the skill early.
  • The user may also swap weapons while Thunderblight is active, but if the user does not have a Wand or Staff equipped when the next attack interval arrives the skill will immediately end.
• The skill will automatically attack the closest target without any additional input from the user, but will prioritize targets that the user is currently locked on to.
  • If the current target is killed and Thunderblight has remaining duration, it will automatically start attacking the next closest target (or the next target that the user locks on to).
• Thunderblight deals damage to the target at fixed intervals, which will shorten as the skill rank increases.
• Targets being attacked by the user's own Thunderblight will receive extra damage from the user's Bolt Magic and Shadow Flare.
  • It will not boost the damage of these skills cast by other players.
• Starting at rank 5, the affected target will have a percentage of their Magic Defense and Magic Protection reduced.
  • Unlike most debuffs, this doesn't reduce a fixed value, but instead works similarly to Fateweaver's Aspect of Fortification.
• The user's Lightning Bolt damage is added to this skill's damage, adding a total equivalent to 5 charges of Lightning Bolt.
  • Effects that strengthen Lightning Bolt such as Reforges, Blue Echostone, and its Glyph will contribute their damage to Thunderblight.
• Thunderblight is considered Lightning-type magic and will receive bonus damage from Lightning Mastery and its reforges, as well as from items that provide Tri-Element damage.
• When used by a Link 8 Dark Diviner, this skill gains 3 seconds of additional duration.
• When used by a Link 10 Dark Diviner, this skill gains 200 additional range.
• This skill is not compatible with Time Shift.
