Your favorite skill Gem in PoE?

I always loved tornado shot, especially when combined with herald of ice. That SHHBOOM-CRASH is satisfying AF.

I like Tectonic Slam' looks and sound, too bad that it's not that great gameplay-wise...

Leap slam, I love having max attack speed while dual wielding LS and hopping around like a rabbit strapped to a jet engine.

There's something innately pleasing about having party members stop and gawk at you as you break the sound barrier with LS through a map.

Cyclone. 1 button warrior.

Power Siphon - amazing art design

My favourite skill is righteous fire (even if a lot of people find RF boring as hell):
- efficient skill: good clearspeed, safe and can be also used for endgame bosses. There are some builds really cheap (no need 6L) but creating a good RF helm can be challenging for someone who likes craft (elder items + essences)
- can be played with several ascendency classes: Jugg, occulist, chieftain, trickster, pathfinder, guardian, Ascendant, Inquisitor but Hierophant, slayer and necromancer aswell
- a lot of defferent approachs to sustain : life on kill, flask, flat regen, MoM, fire resist...
- SSF and HC viable
- relaxing skill (just run and burn the world)

My 3 last characters used it... and I will probably play RF next league again

For Melee, Cyclone with lots of life leach. The survivability is great, but I have to laugh every time I am engaged with a heavier hitting mob that tries to hit me, and by the time he makes his big swing, I have spun behind him, so he turns around and tries again, but, again, I spin back around behind him. The "whiff" is real.

For Casting, it is the combination of Essence Drain and Contagion. It is hilarious to come up to a door and some poor schmuck mob sticks his head out because all his buddies behind him tell him they heard something in the hall. Drop both of them on him, and not only does he evaporate, but there is a wave of "ughs" and "arrghs" sweeping through the room behind him. Then it is just a matter of having to step over all the bodies in the room as you take their stuff.

For Movement, it is a split between Leap Slam and Lightning Warp. Being able to jump across ledges, behind whirling blades of death, or jump up on a ledge to grab some stuff then jump back is very handy.

Herald of ice is what makes this game enjoyable for me. the sound effect, visuals and added aoe power for clearing trash mobs.

I just wish it was better optimized.

I Miss the Old Ground Slam! I guess Tectonic Slam is similar is appearance.

Also love Molten Shell, and especially Vaal Molten Shell.
