lightning strike challenge

[Zero]

Every other weapons challenge ( deal certain amout of damage in first map ) are easy.
But Lightning strike is pain in the ass, never do enough dmg, not even 1000000... I maximize the spell, dps bonus, but just dont know how im supose to do with this.

01 - Intensity
02 - Conversion x2 + Charges
03 - Conversion x2 + Intensity
04 - Charges
05 - Conversion x2 + Intensity
06 - Conversion + Charges
07 - Intensity
08 - Conversion + Charges
09 - Conversion
10 - Charges

For a very easy mode go on map 3. If you struggle, stay to the Ghost Wall to "farm" dmg.

DONT do it on map 1, since enemies there have low hp and only TRUE dmg done counts NOT overkill dmg.
It is possible, but very hard.

Cheers!

These quests are all misleading and I'm slightly annoyed that the devs couldnt find a way to do it better there.. since in the end we forum dwellers have to keep repeating the same stuff again and again. Like the awesome Ulyaoth guy.

You don't have to do them on the first map. You can do that on maps that are higher scaled like the third. Which makes it pretty easy. Depending how frustrating that stuff gets if you are stuck on map 1 thinking about what you have done wrong.

You did nothing wrong. The devs did.

Ok, i was thinking it was only map one challenge. Thanks

Get the upgrade where the lightning leaves fires, not where lightning electrifies targets. That one racks up the damage.

You mean "Explosive Strike".
This one is locked behind Lightning Strike mastery II (1.5mil dmg)

I did them all on first map, maybe what they messed up was allowing them to be done on any map , the ghost wall is being fixed too that is a cheesy way to complete them.

All you need to do is run only that 1 ability, dont take a new spell scroll until the ability is mastery 3 then 6 for both upgrades, 2x any projectile level ups , use memory to pickup extra levels. Stack attack speed where you can.

Exploding lightning strike with 8 projectiles every second is a sight to behold

No. I mean what I said. Always nice to see people who like to help.

Thats true but I would argue that it would make more sense switching these quests to milestones or even skill specific quest windows instead. Hell, or just a text that says "can be done everywhere" like the stuff that says.... "it has to be done in one run".

It also takes incredible rng to have lightning strike strong enough to finish that quest on map 1. It definitely takes more consideration for your build if you wanna do it there. Hence why we keep seeing threads asking for advice.

I can be wrong with my memory, but patches ago, before the Lightning Strike nerv, it used to be Map 1 exklusive, but at this time overkill damage counted into toal damage so it was easy to do.

You dont need any RNG, you just need potions unlocked and you can do this every time
This was on second map but you can get close to this on first map too

Only pick up 3 scrolls, first one for lighting strike, second one after you get a III trait, 3rd one after you get a VI trait so you have both upgrades.

use memory potion on level II , VI, VIII to get both Conversion and Charges (memory first one to come up and wait to get second before using locked)

Use all reverberant on Charges

Stack attack speed with Wind Crown and Guiding Star, Hunting Gloves BiS

Can do with any class but Sorc gives good crit bonus and Proficient Stance Strikes

Ah okay you used your double potion on charges and i used mine on attack speed.
Everything else seems pretty similar.

On flaw in your build:
You cant get "Explosive Strike" before clearing Lightning Strike Mastery II (1.5mil dmg)

IMO i dont recommend picking any upgrade at all since "Electrifying Strike" only applys Electrify, wich doesnt count towards Lightning Strike damage.

Ah yes, I figured we where talking about the 3mil dmg quest. 1.5mil should be easy with no upgrades.

Electrifying strike does not count towards the damage you need but it helps clear since you are only taking one ability

[Ulyaoth]

I may try your setup with double strikes instead of double as and see what will do more damage.

I did mine with the Swordsmann but literally the same equipment.
