You probably want to wait until it's fixed. Currently the flat damage per int doesn't work, which means my int stacker really struggles with single target damage.

It's actually giving Spark Charge 2 Lightning Damage per 10 max mana. The tooltip is just wrong.

I mainly wonder why it would even be mana in the first place. The more multiplier on getting spark charges from melee attacks means you're heavily incentivized to use mana strike as your main skill, which has an in-built way to apply them. This means that mana has almost no value to you since your main skill doesn't use any and probably even causes you to be at max mana at all times.

We've discussed it and decided to go with changing the effect to match the tooltip rather than vice versa. We'll have to monitor the subsequent power of the item because, as you pointed out, Intelligence is a more useful stat to scale for the rest of your build. But, we don't want to invalidate builds that people have already attempted to create based on the assumption that the tooltip was correct.
