Stormspike

Stormspike is an exceptional stiletto that delivers powerful lightning damage alongside defensive benefits. While not class-specific, this dagger offers interesting utility through its charged bolt proc and resistance scaling that grows with character level.

Lightning & Defense

The weapon adds 1-120 Lightning Damage to attacks, providing substantial elemental damage especially effective against multiple enemies in melee range. More unusually, Stormspike grants 25% Chance to Cast Level 3 Charged Bolt When Struck, creating a defensive lightning nova when enemies land hits. Lightning Resistance +1% per Character Level scales to +99% at level 99, offering massive lightning defense late-game.

Niche Application

The Attacker Takes Lightning Damage of 20 property reflects damage back to melee attackers. Available at level 40 with modest requirements, Stormspike works for characters seeking lightning damage and high lightning resistance. However, the dagger class limitations mean most builds prefer weapons with better base damage or more impactful bonuses. It remains a curiosity rather than a build-defining item.
