Can someone explain the 10% shock flares?

Shock 10% | Electrical Criticals to the dome
Several thin, fibrous white filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach $X1, they unleash a powerful surge of electrical current upon the object of their wrath!

If this flare happens when you are standing in the water on the second floor of the temple or in the bowels will it hurt you?

yes, I had a flare like that kill me in the bowels; 10% of the offensive flares are lightning based

Thanks for this info, I had heard the full affinity nervestaff was unsafe in nelemar but was unsure why/how.

Actually, allow me to extend thanks on behalf of Dazmar as well, I was just gonna let him be the test dummy.

ACTUALLY, delete this thread, hey Dazmar, let's go hunt nelemar!
