[edit] Notes

The Guild Wars 2 Wiki also has an article on Lightning Surge.

• Removing the hex before it ends will negate the end effect, unlike Shatterstone and other skills with an end effect.
• Cracked armor is applied after the damage is dealt.
• Primary PvP-only Elementalists will be able to use this skill, even if it is not unlocked on their account.

[edit] Trivia

• The figure in the skill icon appears to be a Warrior wearing Ascalon armor.
