PoE 3.20: Lightning Conduit now deals 33 to 98 Lightning Damage at gem level 1 (previously 43 to 130), up to 387 to 1161 at gem level 20 (previously 516 to 1548). It now has 140% Effectiveness of Added Damage (previously 190%).
Lightning Conduit is another new shock themed spell. A wave propagates out from the target location, causing lightning bolts to strike all shocked enemies in a large area. The damage is scaled by the strength of the shock on each enemy.
Lightning Conduit cannot itself shock and won’t hit non shocked enemies at all. So the challenge with this skill is to find a way to consistently apply powerful shocks to your targets to make the most of Lightning Conduit’s high damage potential and area of effect.
This high level build uses Wave of Conviction to shock enemies before casting Lightning Conduit until they’re obliterated.
For longer fights, it can employ Galvanic Field to create a constant source of lightning damage.
Overcharge Support is a new support gem that causes supported skills to deal less damage but makes them inflict much stronger shocks and grants them a higher chance to shock. Overcharge lets many different lightning skills create powerful shocks. Use this to take advantage of shock’s large damage multiplier or to activate Lightning Conduit and Galvanic Field.

After further review of Lightning Conduit, we're making the tough call of adjusting its balance away from the values revealed in the gem post. We've focused on lowering the base hit damage while slightly raising the shock scaling, to reduce its power with builds that have low shock investment.
We've lowered the base hit damage of the skill by 35% and have raised the hit damage multiplier that is based on the Shock strength from 15% to 20% per 5% at gem level 20. Damage Effectiveness has been updated to 190%.
We understand this has a big impact on builds that you're preparing for launch, so we don't make this change lightly. In the future we will take more steps to make sure that our balance review process is completed before we reveal new gems.
