Lightning Shield

Lightning Shield is a nature-based buff. When getting attacked, it does direct damage to the attacker. It can only proc every few seconds and has three charges.

Improvements

 * Improved Shields increases the damage done by Lightning Shield by 15%.
 * Static Shock increases the number of charges by 6, and gives a chance on melee attacks to hit the target with a Lightning Shield orb.
 * prevents it from ever falling below three charges.
 * The Enhancement Shaman Tier 7 2-piece set bonus (provided by Heroes' Earthshatter Battlegear and Valorous Earthshatter Battlegear) increases Lightning Shield damage by 10%, including damage from Lightning Shield orbs consumed by Static Shock.

Tips and tactics

 * Lightning Shield is a good alternative to Water Shield for solo play or PvP, especially if mana is not a problem (either because you have enough mana anyway or because you expect fights to be quick).
