Hi everyone! Hope you are all as excited as I am regarding the 3.25 expansion but I'm gonna cut to the chase. After reviewing the melee skill numerical tweaks it would appear that Lightning Strike has been incorrectly adjusted. As you can see in GGG's explanation, Lightning Strike at gem level 1 has gone from 135% (this is correct) to 198% effectiveness (new change) while it has been increased from 163% at level 20 (this is wrong) to 237% (new change). Lightning Strike currently scales from 135-225% from gem levels 1-20. GGG have accidentally used VAAL Lightning Strike's upper end effectiveness percentage of 163% at level 20 instead of 225% at level 20 for the base Lightning Strike gem. Given all other melee skills received a minimum buff of 135.2% (Boneshatter) this appears to be an obvious oversight. Really hoping for this to become known and gain traction and if I'm somehow sorely mistaken, for me to be corrected.. Thanks!
GGG's Explanation - The numbers don't match up
Level 1 LS with 135% effectiveness
Level 20 LS with 225% effectiveness but GGG refer to 163% which belongs to VLS
