Storm Rain in Path of Exile 2: What Does It Mean?
Storm Rain is a skill in Path of Exile 2 that allows players to harness the power of lightning to devastate their enemies. This skill is particularly favored by characters focusing on dexterity and intelligence, combining the swift precision of archery with the destructive power of elemental magic.
Skill Mechanics
When a player uses the Storm Rain skill, they fire an arrow into the air, which calls down a storm of electrified rain in a targeted area. This skill creates multiple projectiles that rain down, each dealing lightning damage upon impact. The projectiles have a chance to pierce through enemies, allowing for multiple hits and increased damage output.
- Damage Type: Lightning
- Projectile Count: Multiple
- Piercing Ability: Yes, with a chance to pierce through enemies
- Area of Effect: The skill covers a wide area, making it effective against groups of enemies.
Optimal Usage
To maximize the effectiveness of Storm Rain, players should consider the following strategies:
- Positioning: Use the skill from a distance to maintain safety while maximizing the number of hits on clustered enemy groups.
- Support Gems: Enhance the skill with support gems that increase lightning damage, projectile speed, or area of effect to boost its overall effectiveness.
- Equipment Synergy: Equip items that increase elemental damage or provide bonuses to lightning skills to further amplify the damage output.
Skill Synergies
Combining Storm Rain with other skills and passives can greatly enhance its power:
- Elemental Overload: A passive skill that increases elemental damage when scoring a critical strike, synergizing well with Storm Rain's multiple projectiles.
- Conductivity: A curse that lowers enemy lightning resistance, making Storm Rain's lightning damage more effective.
- Chain Support Gem: Allows projectiles to chain between enemies, increasing the coverage and damage potential of Storm Rain.
