Anomalous Flameblast: What Does It Mean in PoE2?
The Anomalous Flameblast is a variant of the Flameblast skill in Path of Exile 2, known for its unique modifier that alters its behavior compared to the standard version. This skill gem is part of the alternate quality gems introduced to diversify gameplay and offer new strategic opportunities.
Skill Mechanics
Anomalous Flameblast retains the core mechanics of the standard Flameblast, which involves channeling to build up a powerful fire explosion at a targeted location. However, the anomalous version introduces a unique twist:
- Increased Cast Speed: The anomalous variant grants increased cast speed, allowing players to build the explosion more rapidly. This modification can significantly enhance the skill's effectiveness in fast-paced combat scenarios.
- Strategic Use: Players can leverage the increased cast speed to quickly unleash a fully charged explosion, making it ideal for clearing groups of enemies or focusing damage on tougher foes.
Build Synergies
Integrating Anomalous Flameblast into your build requires consideration of synergistic elements to maximize its potential.
- Support Gems: Pairing with support gems that further enhance cast speed or area of effect can amplify the skill's strengths. Consider using Faster Casting Support or Increased Area of Effect Support for optimal results.
- Passive Skill Tree: Investing in passive nodes that increase fire damage, area of effect, or cast speed can further boost the effectiveness of Anomalous Flameblast.
Acquiring the Gem
Players can obtain the Anomalous Flameblast gem through various methods:
- It may drop as loot from slain enemies or be purchased from vendors.
- Players can also acquire it through trading with other players or by using the Path of Exile Trade system.
