Arc Beam
Playing Embermage.
Want to use Arc Beam as everyone and their moms are using PB and I decided to be a special snowflake.
So, I dig a bit and this is what I gathered:
- It's a DPS based skill
- it benefits as such from attack speed
- it benefits uniquely from cast speed too, even if it's channeling spell - more procs/sec
- best stat for it is Focus

Main question I have now is - does Wand Chaos ttriggers from Arc Beam? It seems so, as it's DPS based skill, which mean it uses weapon, rigth?
I resetted skills with console cause cause game courteously didn'tmention AB doesn't build charge and as such I spent 5 point on nothing, so I could reset them again, but I already want to play.

I tested and it seems it doesn't work with AB?
>_<
What a dissapointment.
Why AB designed like that? Is it that powerful it doesn't need that?

Studio made many decisions that were contested even back in the older days of the late Runic Games Forums - valid game-design questions even today.

Wand Chaos mentions in the game to only function with 4 other skills:
引用自 https://torchlight.fandom.com/wiki/Wand_Chaos：
Attacks using your wand can result in bizarre, random elemental disturbances. Theses effects can also happen with the Magma Spear, Magma Mace, Icy Blast and Shockbolts skills.

Could get more out of the Lightning Brand passive for Arc Beam instead.

Yeah, sure I got them - all of them, cause they all proc with Elemental Attunement right?
Effects inflicted by dealing damage and at least Arc Beam deal damage 7 times per second initially.
But it's a very not a comfortable skill to use, tried it. Also short range lmao.
It seems PB so much better lol.

Yes on the Attunement proc; Arc Beam may not be as wonky as Outlander's Bane Breath yet it's a close second at early levels before it gets the range bonuses.

I should also mention that the Brand passives have a one-second cool-down.
So the Lightning Brand would only strike once a second on Arc Beam at any level.

It doesn't matter as for now proc % is 5, 5% with 7 ticks per sec is what chance? probably I need to make it higher, but not sure it's not overkill for lategame.
I hoped for at least half screen lenght, otherwise it's single target spell essentially.

Turns out, Arc Beam is pure sh*t lol.
It is being blocked by slightest terrain height.
And game full of those.
And it pushes out mobs.
Like, lmao. Who playtested it?
I wanted something like magma spear, but got this.
I'll try more, but... anyway, gear will be useful for all.
