Q:

did anyone try to see if it hits any number of interrupted players or only the selected target?

GW2 balance:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.

A:

I’ve had it hit multiple opponents in less than a second, so I doubt it has an ICD.

The Random Number Gods are nothing if not predictable.
Crafting is designed for gear accessibility, not profit.

not sure, but i’m going to test this out tonight in wvw. hopefully it’s not rendered worthless like blinding ashes by having a global ICD.

I don’t believe it has an ICD… but don’t get your hopes up, it can be surprisingly hard to land interrupts on players.

They have to be doing an action, so it will randomly do nothing and also means you cannot string interrupts unless you wait for your last CC to wear off (at which point most players dodge immediately)

I am currently using the lightning rod with a staff. i just feel like it is kinda fun to use. but it is very hard to interrupt people with staff.. you only get air 3 air 5 and earth 4 to interrupt ppl.. but for a staff ele i think is better than fresh air because if you are using fresh air you are trying to max the lighting strike then all your attunement will be on CD… it is not good for staff ele. maybe fresh air is good for d/d or s/d ele.

Seems solid to me…tested Yesterday.

Obviously i see it as a www zerg skill but if you place a static after 2 zergs collides, the interrupt is almost guaranteed.

Its really hard to use because you have to know how commanders use stability etc. but at least its a step away from the waterbot giving us more aoes.

(also tags a lot more than MS).

This trait is UP for a GM tier
Should trigger whenever disable a foe.

In the end, not was added to air tree. I d think that all guys will still running tempest defense or fresh air
