Call me crazy but I actually like some of the lower-tier versions better than their high-tier counterparts. Is there any way to revert an MTX like this if you want something a little more... Reserved?
In Lake of Kalandra, you'll have the option to select a lower tier version of a microtransaction you want to use. This feature will work on these challenge rewards, as well as any other microtransactions we've released that have tiers.
The gem post has now been updated with Lightning Conduit's new values at 20/20. Thanks for your patience everyone!

Wasn't there a change to Melee awhile back that basically gave (most) Melee based skills a mini cone that could hit however many enemies within that cone?
Yes that was in 3.7.0 (alongside Legion league), and was the introduction of strike skills.
The reason "Strike" exists as a gem tag is because we could no longer identify that set of skills as "single-target melee attacks" because they hit multiple targets.
/u/Nick_GGG Will the official post be updated with new values?
We're working on getting the gem post updated!
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.
External link →So the thing that is not mentioned here explicitly is if console players will need to go into the hideout of the person they whisper to trade or if it will open up some kind of trade window like it does with their Trade Market?
The trade experience will be exactly the same as PC, so you will need to be in the same instance as the other person to complete the trade.
