'''Electrocute''' is a [[Wizard]] Tier 3 [[Wizard skills|skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|level]] 6, which electrocutes an enemy over time.
|name= Electrocute
|user= Wizard
|clvl= 6
|description= Lightning arcs from the Wizard’s fingertips towards an enemy, electrocuting it for X-Y lightning damage.
Note that [[lightning]] damage [[critical hit]]s will [[stun]] targets. This one stuns (very briefly) at least every two seconds, so there must be a lot of hit checks going on, to trigger the critical hit so frequently. That stunning is, of course, highly useful when you're locked onto an enemy trying to charge into [[melee]] range.

==Trait Synergies==Electrocute benefits directly from the following [[Wizard traits]]:* No [[Glass Cannonsynergies]]: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.* [[Intimidation]]: Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.* [[Quickening]]: Increases spell casting speed.* [[Beast Hunter]]: Damage bonus against beasts.* [[Demonsbane]]: Damage bonus against Demons.* [[Just...Stay...Dead!]]: Damage bonus against undead.* [[Power Surge]]: Increase critical strike damage.* [[Penetrating Spells]]: Reduces with any of the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%.'''Note:''' The current [[traitpassive skill]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game releases are yet known.
<blockquote>''It’s not very high damage, so you’ll need to cook for a while on tougher targets, and at low levels this one isn’t very useful against bosses or champions; it’s just to AP expensive for big enemies; you’ll be out of resource before they’re out of hit points.</blockquote>
