Lightning strike question

JustMe

Adventurer
Help, I am trying to understand why a sampire spams lightning strike. If I have 45 hci already on my suit, and lightning strike increases hci to 50; with 45 hci being max, what’s the point if you can only max at 45 and I already have that on my suit?

Yep, like i've said before in that linked post, Lightning Strike is no longer worth it since they doubled it's Mana cost and HCI is so easy to cap out now. Even at 120 Bushido, Lightning Strike only has a 20% Crit Chance (Criticals ignore all Resists, for 100% of weapon damage, as opposed to AI's 90% of weapon damage).
