I think blood + electricity should be changed, blood conducting electricity so easily isnt realistic in any sense, besides why is every mob exploding blood like a water balloon as soon as my melee pokes it even slightly?
Actually, blood is litte more than salty water. It conducts electricity rather nicely. (And, a reliable source told me, blood is especially good at conducting magical electricity!)
I agree though that combat often more is about surface control than "killing enemies".
