Elemental Discharge (Legionare)

Hey everyone,

since I didnt see anyone else write about it or use it, I wanted to start a thread so we could collect some more info on this support gem. Since there is also no tooltip for this skill... My main focus is to use it as the main damage source. It triple scales off of int if you apply all 3 ailments, i think it could do some good damage in the end. (Freezing bosses regularly is unlikely though)

Elemental discharge seems to be affected by other support gems socketed in the same skill. This can be seen by using the Ingenuety support gem to reduce the cooldown. (You can select discharge in your skillbar and there is the current cooldown displayed) So i would assume it is considered like a normal skill.

I just leveld a character to try the double support gem from Legionare so i could use 2 of the Elemental Discharge support gems, but unfortunately they share a cooldown so its probably useless... Is this the only time where you could acctually equip two of the same skill?

If you have spark supported by discharge it is not supposed to apply any aliments, but if your sparks go through a flamwall the ignite will still be applied (since it is considered kind of applying a debuff?), but you will need to hit 2 times. So Ball of lightning might be more suitable for this.

I would be interested, if Temporalis will affect the cooldown of Elemental Discharge, because the cooldown seems to be on the spell itself. So if anyone could try that let us know :)

Whats the best skill combination to quickly apply Ailments?
While leveling i just used flamewall and hoped that my spark shocked things... I thought about using the Unique gloves Painters Servant to be able to apply all ailments at once with one skill.

Or Stormweaver with Shaper of Stroms and Shaper of winter and then using a Fire spell...

Another combo could also be: cast on ignite + cast on shock (+ cast on freeze) So you would for example only need to ignite mobs and this will triger spells that apply other ailments and finnally it will trigger a skill with discharge (means 1 less support gem though)

It could also be interesting if you have a mates that focus on applying ailments and you just focus on getting dmg out of Discharge.

Does the increased damage against targets with ailments apply to Discharge?


If you have any other ideas let me know :)
