Arc is a lightning spell that creates a chaining pulse.

Skill Functions and Interactions

  • Since it is not a projectile, Arc cannot Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Pierce" or Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Fork", and it cannot be supported with Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Greater Multiple Projectiles" or Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Lesser Multiple Projectiles" Multiple Projectiles. Supporting Arc with Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Chain" will result in additional chains.
  • Arc will chain to a random target within a specified radius centered on last target struck. Arc cannot chain back to the same target immediately, and must bounce one more time before chaining to the previous target.
  • Arc, when not cast at any enemy, will target the nearest one within the skill's range.
