Lightning Bolt

Lightning Bolt is a level 1 shaman spell. It is one of the primary damage spells for Elemental shaman.

• Has traveling time, so can be combined with Chain Lightning or a Shock which are instant for spike damage.

• This is a good spell to start the fight and pull enemies until level 12 when you can learn Lava Burst. Used against a foe with no speed boosting abilities at max range, you can cast 3 Lightning Bolts in the span of time it takes for a mob to reach you. You can even cast a Shock just as the 3rd Lightning Bolt finishes casting to max out damage against a pulled, incoming mob.
• It is also more likely to use during combat because of its 2 second casting time as opposed to other classes' similar function spells (Shadow Bolt, Fireball).

• Lightning Bolt is a common Shaman spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!"
