What is a power charge?
|
Hello,
do I need a special controller to make a power charge or is it a keyboard binding? I have placed a point into my skill plan, but I still do not know what it is or how to make a power charge. Please help. |

Power Charges are a mechanic in game. By default, you can have 3. You can gain them by killing enemies that have been affected by Assassin's Mark, if you have Power Charge on Critical Strike linked to a gem that gets a critical strike, and by using the skill Power Siphon.
Their benefits can be seen on the Charges tab of the character screen. Please contact support@grindinggear.com if you need any assistance.

Ok, I think I got it to work, but it is not what I thought it would be. Kind of disappointing. There is not a feature, which lets one perform special movements or combinations of movements, is it? This is not what a power charge is, right? It is, simplified, just a more complex version of critical hits but one does not get to do anything special?

It's a buff.

" Power Charges increase your critical hit chance by 50% per charge. Additionally to that, power charges (as well as frenzy/endurance charges) are consumed by the spell "Discharge". The more charges you have, the more damage you do. So there IS something special you can do, but its not very effective to use only power charges. There are specific character build which uses all three kind of charges. However these build are mostly very expensive. |
