1 
6

Proposed:[edit]
5 ¼ 12 Elite Enchantment Spell. Enchants you and target ally. For 3 seconds, whenever you are struck, foes near you take 5...41...50 Lightning damage and are blinded (3...7...8 seconds), and you instantly move to a nearby location directly away from your attacker.
Conjure Lightning[edit]
Current:[edit]
10 1 45 Enchantment Spell. (60 seconds.) Your attacks hit for +5...17...20 lightning damage. No effect unless your weapon deals lightning damage.
Proposed:[edit]

Honestly, it was just boring. It's been made to thematically match its attribute.
Glimmering Mark[edit]
Current:[edit]
10 1 10 Elite Hex Spell. (10 seconds.) Deals 5...21...25 damage each second to target and adjacent foes. Inflicts Blindness (3 seconds) on foes using attack skills. Ends if you use a skill that targets this foe.
Proposed:[edit]

Lightning Bolt[edit]
Current:[edit]
5 1 8 Spell. Projectile: deals 5...41...50 lightning damage. Deals 5...41...50 more lightning damage if target foe is moving. 25% armor penetration.
Proposed:[edit]
10 2 8 Spell. Deals 10...66...80 lightning damage. Interrupts an action. Interrupt effect: interrupted skill is disabled for +2...8...10 seconds. 25% armor penetration.
This skill did as much damage as Lightning Orb; there was no reason for it to exist in its former incarnation.
As such, it's been reworked into a disruptive skill that will take a considerable amount of timing to use (have you ever tried to qknock with meteor?).
I don't expect this skill to become problematic. — Raine Valen

Lightning Hammer[edit]
Current:[edit]
25 2 4 Spell. Deals 10...82...100 lightning damage. 25% armor penetration.
Proposed:[edit]
25 2 8 Spell. Deals 30...102...120 lightning damage to target and adjacent foes. Knocks down affected foes (3 seconds). 25% armor penetration. Easily interrupted.
Air has traditionally been a strong spike-assist element, and this skill had "spike with me" written all over it. However, it's always lacked something to make it worth taking over Lightning Orb (or, more recently, Lightning Bolt or Chain Lightning).
I've sought to give it that something in the form of raw, obliterative power.
However, I don't want this to become an "air eles solo everything" skill, so I used one of my favorite balancing mechanics: "easily interrupted".
All-in-all, I think that this skill would be extremely strong in the way Rodgort's is strong: huge risk, huge reward. — Raine Valen 22:56, 15 Aug 2010 (UTC)

5 ¾ 10 Touch Skill. Deals 10...50...60 lightning damage. Also hits foes adjacent to target foe. Inflicts blindness (3...7...8 seconds) on any of these foes hexed with Water Magic. 25% armor penetration.
Proposed:[edit]
5 ¾ 8 Touch Skill. Deals 20...76...90 lightning damage. Also hits foes adjacent to target foe. Inflicts Cracked Armor (3...7...8 seconds). 25% armor penetration.
I'm honestly not sure why they thought Blindness would be a useful condition on a touch-range ele skill. — Raine Valen 5:25, 18 Jul 2010 (UTC)
