Build Guide

Divine Blast emits a beam of holy light from your shield, coalescing into a hovering ball of energy. A few moments later, this unstable orb bursts, exploding outward with divine power.

Skill Mechanics

• Beam and Implosion: You project a beam of holy light from your shield to a targeted location, which causes an immediate implosion of holy energy.
• Secondary Explosion: The energy lingers briefly before releasing a larger, more powerful explosion.
• Scaling: The skill scales its damage based on your shield stats (similar to Spectral Shield Throw) and features a high base critical strike chance.
• Damage Multiplier: The secondary explosion typically deals 100% more damage than the initial implosion.
