Thunderclap - Confusion with the Description - Guild Wars Forums

Hey,

I was thinking of Skill Capturing the Air Elite spell, 'Thunderclap', in the description it says:

For 8..18 seconds, the next time target foe is struck for lightning damage, that foe and adjacent foes are knocked down, and you lose 15..9 Energy or Thunderclap ends.

So does this mean, for 18 seconds (presuming I max my air attrib), every time I hit them for Lightning damage they get knocked down? Or is it, the Hex lasts for 18 seconds on them, and the next time I use Lightning magic, it knocks them down just 1 time and it wears of?

I'm asking this as in the end it says you lose 15..9 energy or it ends, and I'm not sure with the description meaning, as you wouldn't care if it only lasts one lightning round as it'd end anyway, so I'm wondering if it works more than once within the 18 seconds?

Many thanks,
Josh

it will last for 8-18 seconds depending on how much attributes you have in air magic. It is considered a hex spell that is activated by any lightning dmg and will continue until either it wears off or you run out of energy. target foes and all foes in area will be interrupted and knocked down. You lose 15-9 energy depending on how many attributes you have into energy storage and also how much energy you have when the hit comes into affect on the target.

simple answer = works for 8-18seconds, will work more than once, u lose energy, ends when either it runs out or u lose all energy

They only get knocked down while hexed when hit by lightning damage.
If you use an air wand, and hit, they go down.
If you use an air wand and they dodge it, they stay up.
If you use lightning orb and hit, they go down.
If you use lightning orb and they dodge, they stay up.
If someone else hits them multiple times with a Lightning Damage sword however, you may find yourself losing more energy than you'd like. Not that Electro-dragon swords are all that popular...
