(Removed the damage conversion table. Not only are the mechanics it describes inaccurate, but the place for such information is on the linked damage conversion page, not on an individual skill entry.)

[[Damage conversion]]: Like all converted damage, the lightning portion of Lightning Arrow's damage will be modified by both lightning damage increases and physical damage increases. Because physical damage modifiers increase both physical and lightning damage, and lightning/elemental damage modifiers increase only lightning damage, elemental damage modifiers are, by default, less effective. But when you have enough increased physical modifiers, a lightning damage modifier will have a higher increase to your DPS than an equivalent percentage of physical damage modifier. This table shows how much DPS increase you will get from certain amounts of passive damage modifiers at certain levels. In each case, the overall DPS percentage increase is shown for adding 10% to physical or elemental damage modifiers. The physical and elemental damage modifiers have been balanced out, so that adding 10% to either one will be equivalent. For example, if you have an overall 25% increase to your lightning damage and 150% increase to your physical damage, adding 10% damage to either of them will be equivalent in your final DPS, and increase it by 4%. These are equivalent because a 25% increase to ele damage means you are dealing 125% of the base, and a 150% increase to phys damage means you're dealing 250% of the base. Note how the overall physical damage modifier should be exactly twice the lightning damage modifier before adding lightning damage is more efficient to your final DPS.
[[Damage conversion]]: Like all converted damage, the lightning portion of Lightning Arrow's damage will be modified by both lightning damage and physical damage increases.
 
It should be noted that this table  does not account for any flat added physical or elemental damage modifiers, only percentages.

Lightning Arrow is a ranged attack skill that fires an arrow which deals lightning damage to a target and nearby enemies.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Area of Effect: Increased AoE will increase the area within which lightning arrow can hit additional targets.

Hits Additional Targets: Arrows will strike a target and up to 3 randomly chosen monsters within range of that target will also be struck for the same amount of damage (not just the lightning portion of the damage).

Damage conversion: Like all converted damage, the lightning portion of Lightning Arrow's damage will be modified by both lightning damage and physical damage increases.
