After further review of Lightning Conduit, we're making the tough call of adjusting its balance away from the values revealed in the gem post. We've focused on lowering the base hit damage while slightly raising the shock scaling, to reduce its power with builds that have low shock investment.

We've lowered the base hit damage of the skill by 35% and have raised the hit damage multiplier that is based on the Shock strength from 15% to 20% per 5% at gem level 20. Damage Effectiveness has been updated to 190%.

We understand this has a big impact on builds that you're preparing for launch, so we don't make this change lightly. In the future we will take more steps to make sure that our balance review process is completed before we reveal new gems.
