Are Stun Jacks supposed to be so powerful?

[gienekman]

I just tried stun jacks demo/shaman out of boredom and holy cow is it powerful.
I literally melt all bosses in a second or two (a few more for act bosses) and carpet bombing swarms like it's nothing.
I just got a pair of decent Korvaak's Storm Blades and stun jacks now have 12% life leech. I stocked up on life so i don't get 1 shot and i just face tanked Korvaak himself, his phase swithching animations took longer than the actual fighting.

I love this skill, it makes my mortar trap demolitionist feel like a wet firecracker.
The only thing that kills me are reflects and i had to invest in a bunch of devotions like crane and owl. With that much damage, i self destruct in 1 hit, even with 90% lightning resist.

How much investment does it take and is it compatible with a ranged two hand user? What were ur multipliers?

I was trying a few levels and thought it was weak i have an elementalist also. I tried it after i saw the Pit boss in act 2 dude own me with it in ultimate.

When i read on it doesnt seem great scaling. So lemme know how ya do it?

Is there an item that adds ur weapon damage to stunjacks or something?

The only two specific things i'm using, are Korvaak's storm blade i think is the name(the one that gives stun jacks life leech) and the MI from floating eyeballs(the one with +1 stun jacks).
You get 15% phys to lightning from stormcallers pact, 10% from amber, 10% from hell's bane ammo ~12ish from Storm blade if you roll a good prefix so that's almost 50%, which makes stun jacks almost pure lightning.

The rest of my gear is just randon crap to boost lightning damage and attack.
Thermite Mines + Wind devil + devotion procs shred resistances and you just walk up to a boss and delete them.
Your damage is low most likely due to attacking without RR stacking up. I can't think of another reason. This setup should just melt anything that gets into melee with you and with a bunch of cast speed, you get any hp you lose with life leech.

jack are very deadly in close-range quarter, in there it could annihilate everything (Lockar get killed in 4 seconds which I believe is record)

but on some distance that not very close to enemies this skill becomes absolutely non predictable and it's just unpleasant to play with it

Hoooh yeah, if i can't get too close, i just spam Wind devils, long range stun jacks are just for crowd clearing.

Vindictive flame has a total speed increase from it.
