Might work with Leap Slam maybe. But who would put Leap Slam into a Six-Link? Leap Slam + Brutality + Pulverize + Shockwave + Endurance Charge on Melee Stun + Faster Attacks.

I was thinking about shield charge maybe with a proper shield, but mostly I wanna try chain hook till at least act5 and see if it s funny and viable, shockwawe might help me

Wait. Would Shockwave generate more charges in addition to the attack that triggered it?

well i dunno about you guys but i'll be using it with earthquake.

you can get enough cooldown recovery where it should proc off the initial hit and the aftershock hit.
EQ adds a ton of flat damage to the aftershock portion of EQ too, so im very curious if that flat damage is added to the base dmg which shockwave would use as well, or not. i have no idea.

if so, shockwave seems to be a mandatory support for EQ. if not, then eh i dunno.

it definitely will not be my league starter so we should know the answers to this before i actually try it out.

It's solid for replacing Melee splash. Unlike melee splash it's actually a net gain of DPS on your single target spell. Here is some solid combos that you can use it for though

Leapslam + Fortify + Faster Attacks + Shockwave (+ critical strike if you're lucky) and this can just outright clear a wave you jump too)

Varunastra can Leap slam + fortify + shockwave + close combat = nuke slam + super buffed.

Right now I feel as if the axe/sword one is the better combo of Leapslam + fortify + close combat + faster attack. Because the second you land you get a 20% AS buff for 2 seconds

Was playing around on POB earlier with the same idea, Less duration doesn't modify shockwave damage yet all the other gems I tried did, hopefully its just an error

I don't think it would be affected by the other links, since that would cause Double dipping, since it's already affected by the links before the damage is applied.

just want to confirm, shockwave 100% is affected by all the other links that can apply to it (not less duration)

i am still unsure if shockwave takes aftershocks bonus damage as well, if proc'd on the aftershock of earthquake. that one would be a lot harder to figure out

except tectonic slam is still basically superior to EQ in every single way. attack speed, dps, aoe. eq aoe is great, but you don't really need it to spread behind you, where as tect slam has great aoe and its always fully in front and sides of you which is where you need it most

Well considering the guy who updates and made POB works for GGG now he knows what will link and what wont. So far Less Duration doesnt link to Shockwave, however Pulverize is and other attack/melee/aoe stuff it is considered a seperate hit as Rage is stacking 3 times per EQ

Shockwave can only be used with Maces and Staves (c).
