Evolution requirements
Synergies and practical checks
- Items’ +skills raise the resistance it gives, but only the levels you learned raise your Maximum Resist. An item’s or your mercenary’s aura of it, even a higher one, keeps that Maximum Resist.
- Each level you learned also raises Holy Shock’s damage and Vengeance’s lightning.
Skill modifiers
- Absorb — It gives 20 points less resistance, but 10% of the lightning damage you take heals you.
- Retort — It gives 20 points less resistance. A lightning hit on you deals as much to monsters nearby, at most every 2 seconds.
