Key Characteristics
- Skill Type: It is a Transfigured version of the standard Storm Burst, maintaining its identity as a Spell Channelling skill.
- Mechanism: While channeling, you unleash orbs of energy that repeatedly deal damage.
- Repulsion Mechanic: Unlike the base version, this variant is designed to solve "clear speed" issues by incorporating a repulsion effect that pushes enemies away, making it safer and more effective for clearing maps.
- Damage Conversion: Like the original, it deals Physical damage with 50% converted to Lightning damage.
Build Strategy & Performance
- Clear vs. Bossing: Early community sentiment suggests using Storm Burst of Repulsion for map clearing due to its improved coverage and safety, then swapping to the standard Storm Burst for high-end pinnacle bosses where concentrated single-target damage is preferred.
- Recommended for Hierophant Totems: A popular choice for league starting. Totems automate the channeling, allowing you to focus on movement while they provide high DPS and crowd control via the repulsion effect.
- Recommended for Self-Cast: Also viable, especially when paired with Frostblink to remain mobile while channeling.
- Scaling: The skill scales heavily with Cast Speed and Skill Effect Duration. Increasing duration adds more damage "ticks" per orb, significantly boosting total output.
