    The boost to Galvanic blast is uselss since it is no longer a viable combo.

    @Lexie Galvanic Blast isn't a combo. It's a still valid enchantment that you can get on a weapon if you enchant after you add an air gem to the weapon. It makes the weapon do extra damage "Galvanic Blast" 10% of the time on hits. The jewelry bonus increases the damage from this extra attack and is working correctly. Maybe a bit obscure to realize what it does, but its working fine.

    @Lexie, @mystarr . . .

    Ok but WRONG - Galvanic Blast used to be a combo skill if you read it is says +12.5% Galvanic Blast Damage which is an increase to damage done when you use Galvanic Blast. Since that Combo no longer exists there is no way to increase it. As for what Mystarr says that is not at all what the property states, especially since it is on a ring. If that was, it would say 10% chance to use Galvanic Blast, it says damage increase???..

    Either way this is wrong and need to be looked at.

    Again Galvanic Blast was an actual OLD Combo.

    Clarification needs to be done on either the buff of the skill . . .

    SO if it is as stated it is completely uselss for 90% of players since it would only work with Mele, not ranged.

    readdress please and look into it.
    leave bug report active please.

    Today, Galvanic Blast is an on Hit (10%): 4-20 Air Damage. What it used to do no longer applies.
    Seriously, check the buff icons and you'll see it pop up from time to time. You don't need a Galvanic Blast skill or combo to get the benefit.
    For example, with moon gems you have a chance of getting Deadly Night as an option. But there is no deadly night combo or glyph in game - but when it procs, it increases crit at night.

    Edit: Corrected my awful typing...

    Just for clarification. You wont see a buff icon for "galvanic blast" because it doesn't buff you, but if you use a weapon that is enchanted with the "0n hit 10% chance for galvanic blast" property you will see "galvanic blast" damage in your combat log.

    Also if you mouse over your weapon that is enchanted with "on hit 10% chance for galvanic blast" and note the damage and then equip jewelry that is enchanted with the "galvanic blast damage increase" property and look at your weapon again you will see that the galvanic blast damage has increased.

    Upshot: The galvanic blast jewelry enchantment is only useful if you are also using a weapon that has the "on hit 10% chance for galvanic blast" damage enchantment. The overall usefulness of the galvanic blast jewelry enchantment is definitely debatable but it is doing what it says it will do.

    I'm surprised it doesn't briefly appear as a buff when it procs like some other on hits do, but well noted. Thank you. @mystarr

    That's pretty much what I was just going to add to this thread. The jewelry enchantment is only useful if you also have a weapon that has the "On Hit" enchantment... and when you put on the enchanted jewelry version, it WILL increase the damage of the "On Hit" weapon proc.

    Perhaps the old Galvanic Blast combo brought on the confusion here, but the enchantment buff is NOT broken in the current state of the game.
