Strike of Thunder bugged or self sacrifice ?

[Tetsuo]

Recently got a hold of a Thunder Runed Great Sword which procs Strike of Thunder which is a nice proc doing multiple tics of 125, however this proc also hits the caster so it hurts quite a bit after a few hits.

As hinted by the title is this self damage proc intended or is it meant to proc on you as well ?

Proc is a targeted AE so you are going to get hit with it. Up your MR by a lot or use a different weapon.

With a MR of 136 I self proc'ed a few times weighted by a few times resisted so its not too bad but I LOVE this sword for its ability to build aggro but guess I have to use it only with good clerics till I can get even higher MR

I think you wanna use it, if at all, against targets with a melee radius greater than 20.

a friend uses it in pvp a lot for fun, it works alright, actually lands a lot :/ unless youre mr is like almost 200
