anyone know, both read about the same
Shock pulse is like Charged Bolt from Diablo 2, few sparks scatter randomly away from you. It's like electric version of the toad spell Witch Doctor has.
Electrocute is exactly like the force lightnings from Star Wars.
You can see Shock Pulse in most Wizard playthrough videos at youtube, for example here
shock pulse is Charged Bolt, electrocute is Chain Lightning
shock pusle is great for point blanking something nasty for 3 105% damage hits, the skill does not travel very far so its not suited to mid/long range engagements.
electrocute is good for hitting targets at long range for minor multi mob damage, when out of ap.
During my short open beta experience, I haven't actually noticed monsters taking more than 1 shock pulse hit. Can you really hit a single monster with all 3?
Any videos demonstrating the range of electrocute?
Other than graphichally, Shock Pulse is not very much like Charged Bolt. It's more like a melee skill since it has a very short range. You're gonna need a real meaty wizard if you're gonna use this any time after Normal difficulty.Originally Posted by Brokenstorm
I haven't had any success in doing that in the last few patches. It would make sense to disallow that, since the skill should be optimal against multiple targets and not against a close, solitary enemy.
I agree. I consider Shock Pulse a new skill ever since its charges became much faster and their range was reduced. The WD's Plague of Toads is much closer to the old Charged Bolt effect.
