Static Strike is Broken - 1.3 2h Mace build

So the new skill added Static Strike is pretty OP and doesn't have much information on it so I'll shed some light on how this skill works and how this build breaks the game.

Static Strike: Every time you hit something you get a stacking buff, when 0.75 seconds have passed you will explode dealing 70% of the damage dealt. Each stack lasts 0.75 seconds, more stacks doesn't add more damage per hit or more aoe or anything, the stack buff is just showing you how many GGBOOMs you have ready to go off.

Static Strike + Concentrated Effect: Needs more testing but the AoE effect on Static Strike says Less, conc effect says 60% More, I'm assuming conc effect makes the AoE do 130% damage instead of 70%. (Needs confirmation!)

Why this skill & build break the game: All you have to do is attack once, run into the biggest pack you can and watch the explosion decimate everything around you in 1 hit. The more damage you do in the one hit, the more damage is dealt by the AoE.

tl;dr - 1 Attack, 50 kills, rinse repeat.

Very interesting. I started a Templar in torment and have been very happy with how Static Strike has been working. I then decided to unretire my level85 Scion and try an old Kaoms Axe from my stash using this skill. Haven't got it working yet, need to find those leveled gems and some items with life/res now.

Your numbers look pretty amazing, you have a great mace there!

It was either 1h shield on my duelist or 2h mace on the templar, tried a crit 1h sword/shield build first with static and the damage is abysmal with high end gear so after trying it on my cyclone templar it was love at first sight.

Some things to add, after testing it out in varying degrees of maps starting at 70 and going up to 76 i found that it takes more than 1 attack to kill rare packs with the aoe so i swapped in multistrike and now things die "too quickly"


for reference here is the duelist build with 1h/sword

So you liking 1h and shield over 2H?

Why is this in both the templar and marauder section btw? xD

The same thread.

is reduce duration worth using.

i'm currently level 50 and have. Multistrike-WED-Static Strike-Reduce Duration

or should I swap reduce duration for something else?
