What is the Lightning Jabber in BG3?
In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Lightning Jabber is a spear that uses the element of lightning to deal extra damage in a couple of different ways. The first perk is called Shocking Sting, and it gives you a chance to possibly Shock your target on any successful hit. The Shock condition means that the enemy will not be able to take Reactions.
Secondly, the other perk will deal an extra 1 to 4 points of Lightning damage. However, this will only happen when you throw the spear at your target. Obviously, when you throw a weapon or object it is no longer equipped until you pick it back up again, which will use up one of your Actions.
