New page

Lightning is one of the types of [[damage]] in Diablo III. It is blue/white-tinted in appearance.

Lightning damage is dealt by a wide variety of character skills and spells, and can be added to skills with [[runestone]]s. It is also a common modifier found on items.

Numerous monsters cast Lightning-based spells or add lightning to their attacks. Bosses may manifest it with the [[Electrified]] boss modifier.

Lightning damage can be [[resist]]ed, as well as [[reduce]]d or [[absorb]]ed, but not [[block]]ed (except in [[Charged Bolt]] form).

[[Critical hits]] scored with Lightning damage [[stun]] targets for 2 seconds.

Blizzard's [[@Diablo]] Twitter feed added some clarification about damage types in posts made in early December 2010.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-on-damage-types-and-resistances/]

<blockquote>any change in the range of damage types to include holy, shadow, voodoo or anything else to match the classes? —Scyberdragon 
Damage types will likely change some but are currently [[Physical]], [[Fire]], [[Lightning]], [[Cold]], [[Poison]], [[Disease]], [[Arcane]], and [[Holy]]. —Diablo
 
Whats the difference between poison and disease damage?—WickedBubba 
Disease has a damage debuff (both intake and output), and poison has a health debuff (regen/heal). Subject to change of course.—Diablo
 
Is there much difference between poison and disease? They’re both internal maladies that hurt over a period of time.—Grug 
Fairly significant in their difference, but both countered with a single resistance. Damage/resists aren’t design complete though.—Diablo</blockquote>
