Make channel staff channel onhit dmg?

#1 Post by Sradac »

Anyone think Channel Staff should also channel any onhit damage a staff has? It might make those rare staves actually useful for alchemists, and would give them more options outside of "bomb".

I found a staff on my archmage last night that did 32 lightning and 16 lightning daze damage on hit. If I was an alch and I could channel that, it'd be pretty badass :)

I'm pretty sure it already does, doesn't it?

It definitely doesn't. On-hit stacking is currently the only reason someone with channel staff would ever hit someone with a plain attack. Barring running out of mana, I guess, but realistically if you've ran out of mana because of channel staff something strange has happened and someone should be dead. It doesn't really happen in practice... ever. Maybe incredibly rarely, I'unno.

Point being, it doesn't apply on hit or on melee damage.
