- lowered activation chance (the bonus % chance based on job level helps a bit)
- does not work with AoE ranged/magic anymore
- "Lightning Walk does not work on all magic skills"
- lowered duration time (trivial)
Now, it does not seem to work with ANY single-target magic/ranged skill at all.
I have conducted several tests with a variety of ranged/magic warlock/sorc/ranger/sura/RG/RK skills with Level 5 LW at job lvl 50 (90% activation chance w/ the bonus)
It never activated on any skill at all (examples: gate of hell, arrow storm, hundred spears, vanishing point...etc)
I did not have the chance to test every single single-target magic/ranged skills though
On the good side, it does work with normal ranged attack (the ctrl-click bow attack from rangers) and the proc rate is pretty consistent with the formula
My guess that the current LW is one of the following:
- The descriptions are wrong (ie. not-working-with-all-skills is intended)
- It is bugged
- It works with some single-target magic/ranged skills that I have never tested (in this case a list of skills that LW works with would be nice)
IF it is bugged, a fix would be great (only builds with Knuckle Arrow (+CC5/RD5/Gt-convert5/RD10/PA1) will only get to have lvl3-5 Lightning Walk anyways).
