Lightning Strike projectiles damage formula?

Oh, that opens up another question. Do LS projectiles deal only lightning damage portion of LS? I always thought they deal same types of damage as LS (physical, lightning and whatever else you have on gear and auras).

Lightning Strike is a bit unusual skill, unusual in the sense that different mods affect melee and ranged portion of it.

You can think of it as 'tags', melee hit is an attack has following tags (if, for example using a sword): [melee, sword(weapon), physical] and the part converted to lightning has [lightning(elemental)] too.
Projectiles have a bit different tags: [projectile, sword(weapon), physical] and they also have lightning part with [lightning(elemental)] added

So you would calculate it like this:
Your attack has base physical damage of 100, that means melee part of Lightning Strike does 50 base physical damage and 50 base lightning. Projectile part 30% less damage penalty so it does 35 physical, 35 lightning.

Now you look at tags and see which mods would affect it
Increased physical melee part is affected by following increases:
Increased strength bonus (increases melee physical)
Increased physical damage on skill gem
Increased melee physical damage nodes
Increased sword physical damage
One-handed melee weapon physical damage
- and is multiplied by skill damage effectiveness and melee physical support.

Elemental melee part is based on physical damage so is affected by all of the previous plus these mods:
Increased lightning damage
Increased elemental damage
Increased weapon elemental damage
- and is multiplied by those previous two and weapon elemental support gem

Now, projectile part is affected by only
Increased projectile damage
Increased physical damage on skill gem
Increased sword physical damage
- multiplied only by skill damage effectiveness

Elemental part on a projectile is affected by those three previous and:
Increased lightning damage
Increased elemental damage
Increased weapon elemental damage
- and is multiplied by skill effectiveness and weapon elemental support gem

And this formula doesnt take attack speed, crits or misses into consideration... As well as added fire/cold damage (from hatred)

Also, projectiledamage could be affected by Point Blank and (probably) iron grip.

And i want to note - although melee physical damage nodes wont work for projectiles, melee attack speed ones WILL work, because, obviously, attack speed is applied to whole skill.

Thanks for the info, is it worth taking physical damage nodes to boost the base damage for the projectiles then or not? I'm building a LS / Spork Totem shadow atm, I took the spell / elemental damage / projectile damage / acceleration and mental thing (30% crit chance, 20 int) so far.

Should I take the three one handed damage node, or just focus on lightning damage and crits?
