Lightning Rod Trait question
I had a question about this trait. I was running with it on my Staff ele in wvw, and was trying to figure out how much damage I was doing with it.
Except it didn’t seem to trigger that often, or not every instance of it is shown in the combat log.
Correct me if i’m running, but Static Field, Unsteady Ground and Gust should all trigger this when you hit people right? So If i put Static Field in an enemy zerg, and 3 people get caught in it, it should trigger 3 times. Right?
Is there an ICD that I don’t know about?
I use that trait all the time with staff and it does pretty decent damage. Specially if it crit and you are on an offensive build.
It should trigger on all the skills you mentioned each time for each person but I did witness some anomalies were it didn’t when it should have. Is it because there is an unknown ICD? IDK.
EDIT: Also, it obviously won’t trigger if someone has stability on…
(edited by Sirbeaumerdier.3740)
it does not have an internal cooldown and therefore should have worked
reasons why it might have happened:
blinds
aegis
or you might have dropped the cc skill and moved too far from the target (1300+ sometimes doesnt ork too me)
No internal cooldown.
It will not proc if they have stability (Intended). Or, if they had aegis, were dodge rolling, blocking with you interrupted them (not intended).
Tempest Defense does not increase Lightning Rod damage (right after the crowd control); the Lightning Rod procs before the disable. (Not intended)
More information on the bugs.
