what a shame it doesnt have % lightning damage aswell you could get 400% increased lightning damage and 400% increased armour that would be so insane for my lightning smite hammerdin but it seems just weird to give this item 2 element damage but not also lightning
because lightning is much stronger than the other two elements as of the moment. Lightning has shock, Cold + Fire has Throne. More of a balance thing in general
Cold has frostbite which is over kill and ignite is starting to get better again.
IMO…it’s more of a theme to that boss as he has the shattered lance doing cold and that fire snake pattern attack.
Frostbite and ignite don’t increase the damage of their respective ailments. Shock does.
Bleed: 53 physical damage over a 4 second duration
no cap
Doom: 400 void damage over a 4 second duration
4 stack cap
Electrify: 42 lightning damage over a 3 second duration
no cap
Frostbite: 35 cold damage and applies a -200 freeze avoidance modifier over 4 seconds
no cap
Ignite: 37 fire damage over a 3 second duration (5% more dmg buff from 0.8.5e not calculated)
no cap
Time Rot: 45 void damage and increases stun duration by 5% over a 3 second duration
12 stack cap
Poison: 20 poison damage over 3 seconds and subtracts 5% from the target’s poison resistance for 3 seconds
no cap
Shock: subtracts 5% lightning resistance, applies a 10% increased chance to be stunned modifier (stun is underrated btw), and lasts for 4 seconds
20 stack cap
→ Poison, Shock and Crit Vulnerability are mechanically the strongest ailments currently in the game. Frostbite only became good because of some uniques, before it was horrible. Time Rot & Doom have a stack cap, they cant keep up with other ailments. Bleed has the most defensive support with uniques. Freeze doesnt work that great in endgame on high hp bosses. Poison and Crit Vuln are broken.
I agree that adding lightning to Throne of Ambition would be too strong.
Increased lightning dmg, substracting lightning res, armour and stun (stun is underrated btw) are too many good bonuses with no downside
