Incendiary Shot in Path of Exile 2: What Does It Mean?
The Incendiary Shot is a powerful skill in Path of Exile 2, designed to inflict fire damage and apply burning effects to enemies. This skill is favored by players who prefer ranged attacks and fire-based damage strategies.
Mechanics of Incendiary Shot
Incendiary Shot functions by shooting a projectile that explodes upon impact, dealing fire damage to the target and surrounding enemies. The following mechanics are crucial to understanding how this skill operates:
- Explosion Radius: When the projectile hits, it creates an explosion that affects all nearby enemies. The size of the explosion can be enhanced with certain modifiers.
- Burning Effect: Enemies hit by the explosion are inflicted with a burning status effect, dealing additional fire damage over time. This effect scales with increased burning damage modifiers.
- Projectile Speed: The speed at which the projectile travels can be increased, affecting both the range and impact timing of the skill.
Strategies for Using Incendiary Shot
To maximize the effectiveness of Incendiary Shot, players can adopt several strategic approaches:
- Positioning: Use terrain to your advantage by positioning yourself at a distance, allowing the projectile to hit multiple enemies in tightly packed groups.
- Support Gems: Link Incendiary Shot with support gems that enhance fire damage, increase area of effect, or add projectile speed to boost its overall impact.
- Gear Synergy: Equip items that provide bonuses to fire damage, burning damage, or area of effect to synergize with the skill and amplify its damage output.
