Strategy[]

Stormclaw's effectiveness will vary depending on the weapons being used. In general, two-handed weapons tend to have a wider and farther attack arc and higher DPS.

  • A larger attack arc will result in more enemies being hit, meaning multiple chances to activate the Lightning against larger groups of enemies.
  • Higher DPS weapons will result in the lightning dealing more damage.
  • However, two-handed weapons tend to have a slower attack speed than one-handed ones, resulting in fewer chances to activate Lightning against each individual enemy.

Stormclaw is also a very valuable skill for claw-wielding berserkers as the lightning chaining ability can make up for the claw's inability to attack multiple targets.
