Tactical Information
Lightning-charged Staff Strike, unlike the base skill, is a lightning skill, and benefits from bonuses pertaining to Lightning-type skills. Its main use is to consume the Burning Embers bleed. This skill is the go-to skill to do this because of its short cooldown. Keep track of your stacks of Lightning-charged so that you're not sat at 3 stacks for a long time in-combat.
