Notes

• 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.

Anomaly. Similar to Incendiary Bonds and Lightning Strike, removing the hex before it ends will negate the end effect, unlike Shatterstone and most other skills with an end effect.

Trivia

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

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