Static Charge and Heart of Frost (spoiler)
hey guys
im a level 20 sage (storm mastery + Hunter)
i already alotted 6 skills in storm nimbus
now there're two other passive skills up the ladder namely heart of frost and static charge

Well, seeing how the Storm Mastery is the only Mastery I've never touched, I hope you don't mind me taking a stab into the dark.
I'd say the +XX%Lightning dmg gets added onto your raw lightning attacks for Static Charge.
And the Lightning Retaliation part only gets added onto when you get hit by an enemy for Static Charge.
Basically:
Offensive: Heart of Frost's +XX%Cold dmg / Static Charge's +XX%Light dmg
Defensive: Heart of Frost's +XX%slow / Static Charge's +XXX retaliation

kk Retaliations work like an aura, i'm not exactly sure on how they work but its a point-blank area of effect (PBAoE) pulse.
Okay lets say you have 6 points in Storm Nimbus and 1 point in Heart of Frost
The 6 points in Storm Nimbus
gives you a "Chance Of" either
16 Cold Damage or 13-55 Lightning Damage while activated
The 1 point in Heart of Frost
adds +10% to both Spell/Melee Cold Damage
10% Slowed Attack Retaliation
10% Slowed Movement Retaliation
Note: This does not add cold damage to your weapon, it will only modify the cold damage your Storm Nimbus adds to the weapon damage. If your weapon has a stat like 6-12 Cold Damage on it though Heart of Frost will add 10% to that cold damage AND the cold damage done by Storm Nimbus. Staffs do 100% Elemental damage, therefore if you are using a Staff with base cold damage, Heart of Frost will add 10% to the staffs damage + 10% to the cold damage done by Storm Nimbus.
As for the retaliation effect on Heart of Frost when mobs approach you in Melee range (very close) Heart of Frost will pulse, slowing their attack and movement by 10%. After a certain time it will re-pulse if mobs are still in proximity but i'm not sure the time between pulses.
Hope this helps
