Make Lightning strikes instant kill

Yeah, they don't hit very often anymore. Maybe have them do 90% damage so it will most likely kill you, but if you're prepared it won't.

I haven't been hit by lighting since ....... forever. I think during the light the 6 lanterns event?

One shot kill? Sure.

Yes, please. Because, you know, it's freaking LIGHTNING!

Getting smited by the gods should be insta-death.

Ppl survive lightining strikes everyday.
Although insta death would help remind me to keep my sword put away 🙄⚡

@BR0CRASTINAT0R
I think the damage should be random, like real lightning strikes

@galactic-geek
Same here. I tend to avoid storms so my gunpowders dont get blown up.

Did they really nerf them that bad? I used to always get struck

@nwo-azcrack Yes. Your gun powder is still at risk, but not like it used to be. I do not go out of my way to avoid storms anymore. You may take a little damage, but the odd are low that it will be more than a nuisance. Give it a try. Put a barrel up the in the nest and I'd bet you an Athena's chest that it doesn't get struck as you sail through the storm.

@ghostpaw
Thanks mate. Seems like everyone was implying its hard to get struck nowadays.

I wouldnt be suprised if it got nerfed like everything else 😏

@nwo-azcrack
The wheel spinning in random directions also got pretty much removed from sloops.

Then people will just skirt storms. I’m glad you guys aren’t game developers.

Anyway, lightning is lightning. The charge won’t increase because you hold a sword. The chance of being struck increases if you present a less resistive earth.

St Elmos fire would be cool. And you’d be super easy to spot for a while.
