Lightning/Chain Lightning were the only two lightning skills in 1.09 that were underpowered. The next person that claims Static field was underpowered because it can "only" reduce an enemy to 50% life within three clicks will be whacked with a wet noodle. :P
The only thing that prevented lightning/chain lightning from being able to compete with other spells was the insanely slow cast speed and the fact that it was based on IAS rather than faster cast. People have had success using IAS gear, (1.09) and a speedy lightning is really nice. Plus it won't suck mana like that other evil spamable lightning spell. Yes, I do consider that other level 12 lightning spell evil, and nothing will change my mind. :)
With the bug out of the way and faster cast doing what it should, I wouldn't be suprised to see heavy usage. Honestly, I've been waiting for this for a long time.

With great power comes the great need to blame other people.
