Thunder Storm is a Sorceress Skill in Diablo II.
Lore[]
Weather manipulation is the most impressive form of elemental magic a Sorceress may attain. A Sorceress learned in this skill may manifest a tempest of dark storm clouds that follow her wherever she travels. Any who approach the canopy of her storm are subject to the full force of the gale and bolts of powerful lightning.
General Information[]
Synergies[]
- Gives synergy to: None
- Receives synergy from:
- Static Field: +7% Lightning Damage per level
Almost like an Aura of sorts, Thunder Storm automatically hits surrounding monsters with falling bolts of lightning. When cast, a crackling ring of electricity forms around the Sorceress' feet, indicating that the skill is active.
Thunder Storm lasts for quite a while, and duration improves with skill investment. Although it has no synergies, Lightning Mastery is quite effective in boosting its damage. With the right equipment, Thunder Storm can often kill enemies in one hit. Enemies that can jump away or move very fast are just as easily hit by Thunder Storm as any other enemy, making it a formidable skill against them.
Thunder Storm ring indicating it is active
Since Thunder Storm has no synergy needed to be effective, Sorceresses such as the Enchantress or Fire Wall Sorceress often spec into it as well to deal extra damage of another element. There is nothing that prevents Thunder Storm from being cast with similar semi-passive spells like Frozen Armor, Enchant, or Energy Shield.
