✭✭✭✭✭Lightning can apply concussed, which includes minor vulnerability, that will buff everything.
If you're asking about the single target vs AoE buff... not sure off hand.0 -
OG_Kaveman✭✭✭✭✭What skill is "devouring swarm"?
To your question, yes, almost all necro skills are AOE, so the lighting staff buffs them, but you are forgetting about fire light attacks, which get the 10% from engulfing flames and the 8% from the staff passive and are way easier to weave. More then makes up for the 8% loss on aoes.0 -

Because it buffs the damage of devouring swarm that is why it was mentioned.0 -

well, yeah, but what does that have to with necro skills? the title of the thread is "Magicka Necromancer Questions", not "what does the lightning staff buff?"
and do you have more specific question beyond the ones you asked?2 -

Why easier to weave?

You are sadly mistaken in this - my Magplar does occasionally get locked into an inferno staff heavy attack animation when only doing light attacks. It is definitely easier to weave in light attacks with an inferno staff than lightning staff tho. (I use both, one for my single target bar, one on my AOE bar.)1 -

Does it honestly matter? We are diving Into other questions that obviously align itself with necromancer since they also have access to the vampire skill line like every other character, just because a title says one thing it does not need to stay completely on topic.0
