Doesn't always bounce. Seems to do it only when it wants to and won't bounce back to an already hit Mob.

Yep. Cant bounce it between two mobs. Seem the spark can't jump very far, the mobs has to really close together.

I've seen it jump quite far, but it only does it when it wants to. i've also seen it not jump 1 tile away quite often. it's not been tested for sure.

why wouldnt it be?

could be few things,

some surrounding mobs amc is higher,

distance between them all

your base mc

your skill level

your actual level - (similar to the way repulse works on lower levels)

could it be luck related ie +luck weapons increase chances


honestly i have no idea but thats because we have been given very little info about the hunter class at all the web page skill guide is embarrassing

electric shot doesn't re-bounce to the same mob also the mobs have to be basically touching each other to bounce between the lure.

these are probably just kinks that need to be worked out, they just coded this spell so expect a few bugs with it.

Electricshot is just an agro stealing spell other than the DPS on the initial monster you hit.

It doesn't always bounce even if one square away but I wasn't sure if it bounced over tiles and the amount of invisible tiles on every map destroy the fun of an archer lol.

I also agree that it should bounce back to a monster that has been initially hit if it hasn't used up all its hits.

It can bounce quite far, but it does randomly fail to bounce even with mobs in the proximity.
AFAIK the spell wasn't a chance to bounce to targets but each level allowed it to have an additional hop to a new mob; It sometimes multi hits a single target monster to.

imo the spell bounces just fine. the main thing is that the initial hit animation always shows, even if the hit itself was a miss (due to range, obstacles etc).
Also, the next mob needs to be within 2 tiles for the bounce to work.

Yes, it does scale with lvl. 3 hits at lvl 0, +1 per lvl afaik

It absolutely does not bounce fine, I've hit mobs that are touching and still does not bounce sometimes.
