Skill Reveal: Storm Burst

its cool and all, but how about the viability of other lightning spells? Whats the point of using arc when you have this? you can scale this via projectile, lightning and aoe. and it has built in aoe. And is channelled. like wtf. It needs no cast speed. stick in cwc, gmp, light pen, slow proj and destroy all

Edit: is this another gem u are making super OP in the beginning to hype people up?

magma orb projectiles cannot hit the same target

this thing can

whoever said that its like blade flurry is correct

and in datamine info, it does more damage than ball lightning...

http://cb.poedb.tw/us/gem.php?n=Storm+Burst

Magma orb 1 projectile creates 3 Explosions (yes explosions from one projectile can't hit same target more than once): each 637 - 956 damage.
New skill 1 projectile creates 1 Explosion: 472 - 712 damage.

So:
1) Magma orb MORE MORE times better for map clearing.
2) For single, yes maybe new skill better because of x2 faster casting!
3) Damage effectiveness 125% vs 25%!

Because 300% more AOE also apply to Poison through inheritance!

I thought it doesnt anymore ?

You are right! So sad :(

Also question:
Where is any kind of amplifier for skill based on channeling duration?
Any channeling skills have bonus the longer you channeling, but this?

Cool skill GGG, looking forward to play with this. :)

pls GGG tell me u gonna also add a jewel like the EK nova one for this skill instead of sire of shards

I think this skill main point isn't damage but:
1) Channeling.
2) 300% more Area damage.

So: New skill + CwC + ALL AOE SPELL WITH HIGH DAMAGE:
1) Fireball.
2) Arctic breath.
3) Ice Spear.
4) Magma Orb.

Just imagine this 6L setup with Sire of Shards!
300% more Area damage FOR EACH OF THEM!

My body is ready
How will it work with totems tho? I absolutely MUST do a totem build with this.

ggg please release a jewel for this skill that adds more projectiles instead of using gmp please T_T

I want dis :D

Fast clean skill gem again for caster! Guys, can you make fast cleaning melee skill gem? To catch up cleaning ability of caster? Ground slam good aoe but luck of damages, Sunder a bit good now but still luck of aoe. Lacerate luck of damage and aoe also and no weapon that fit. If only exquisite blade or flesh reaper can roll up 650+pdps, we can link up eaoe gem. If we use carcass jack, luck of survivability. If we use templar amplify notable, waste of passive points. Im talking about the end game build not leveling.

Ugly skill with extremely unnatural mechanic. GGG wtf is this?!
