Diablo 4 Staff of Lam Esen Sorcerer Unique Staff

Charged Bolts deal increased damage, last 300% longer and seek enemies. A bolt that lasts four times as long has four times the time to find a target, and the seeking behavior means it does not need aim to connect.

The three parts work as a package: more damage per hit, a longer life so each bolt can hit more, and homing so more of them land.

Charged Bolts is a Core Sorcerer skill that costs Mana. It releases several bolts of piercing lightning that course along the ground, each dealing damage. Among its upgrades are Surging Charge (one more bolt plus one for each stack of Ferocity), Overload (it discharges Crackling Energy in an electric wave) and Burn Through, which turns it into a Pyromancy skill. The staff always drops with Weapon Damage and Skill Ranks to Charged Bolts.

Seeking bolts suit builds that fight in crowds, where a homing projectile always has something to find. The staff does not change the Mana cost or the number of bolts, so the upgrades you choose still decide those. Weaken and Damage Bonus, for instance, each add one more bolt on top of their own effect.

• Slot and class: Two-handed staff, usable by Sorcerer.
• Fixed affixes: it always drops with Weapon Damage and Skill Ranks to Charged Bolts.
• Where it drops: in the loot table of Lord Zir, a Lair Boss found at the Darkened Way, east of Kyovashad in the Fractured Peaks. The fight needs Torment 1 or higher, and 1x Lair Key opens the Hoard after the kill.

• Torment I difficulty unlocked.

Does the longer duration apply to every bolt?
