Revision as of 13:17, 15 October 2009 by 82.41.176.69 (talk)

Charged Strike

Required Level: 18
Prerequisites: Jab, Poison Javelin, Power Strike, Lightning Bolt
Synergies: Points in the following skills add substantially to Charged Strike's damage.

  • Power Strike: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
  • Lightning Bolt: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
  • Lightning Strike: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
  • Lightning Fury: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level

Details: A melee attack that sends out Charged Bolts. This skill is deceptively powerful, just like the Sorceress' Charged Bolt skill, since while the damage of each bolt isn't much, the skill sends out a tremendous number of them at higher levels. (Many more than the description would lead you to believe.)

Lore:
An Amazon devoted to the path of Zerae will be able to harness the forces of vengeance and storms. During Rites of Vengeance, Zerae will confer to the Amazon attacks that unleash a wild burst of electrical energy, striking down nearby enemies. A grizzled veteran of the Time of Troubles once said: "Spear-women walking the 'Path of Zerae' are best given wide berth, for they can be as violent and indiscriminant as the storms on the Twin Seas".
