Lightning Struck passive does not increase ER damage. It should because ER is a “spell”. Lightning Struck is pretty much what greatly increases Shaman’s spell damage (perhaps too important).
+Spell and +Poison damage stats don’t seem to increase Poison Ground node much. Based on the description, it adds 3 Poison base damage per rank which could be a big boost but it is not. The 3 Poison damage could be double dipping from +Poison damage and +Spell damage? Either way, I don’t think it’s receiving much boost.
ER’s Roots of Lapp and Overgrowth nodes create a lot of Patches on the ground. I bought a new computer and have been playing on Ultra setting. This is the only skill that creates big Lag in arena after a while. After the arena map changes, the lag disappears and then appears again after I use ER several times.
Not sure if this is a bug but ER does not trigger Chance to Bleed, Poison and Ignite.
How many points did you invest in Lightning Struck?
As noted in Entangling Root’s description, added damage applies at only 30% effectiveness.
I’m a little confused here; you suggest both that the damage increase is less than expected, but also that it could be double-dipping, which would result in a larger increase than intended.
Could you clarify this?
Passed on, thanks.
Not a bug; these apply to Hits, but not to Damage Over Time.
