Spells that cause explosions that can chain or spread
|
I'm wondering which range spell gem and support gem when used in combination can explode on impact and chain to other enemies?
I originally was thinking Fireball + Chain Support, but read that Fireball will explode on its last target. Last edited by icu222much#2469 on Nov 7, 2020, 3:04:18 PM Last bumped on Nov 9, 2020, 4:25:27 AM

Arc does not explode, but chains a lot.
Essence Drain + Contagion does not "explode" but effectively does the equivalent, and with enough area of effect, can chain for a long ways on a single cast. Occultist assendency has a explode on death. Chest piececs can get explode on death mod, which is VERY strong and popular these days. | |

Fireball and many other spells does not explode if pierced or chained. But it can spread the ignite with Ignite Proliferation support. You could perhaps try to equip Fury Valve to see if that's what you looking for. With this amulet, it still won't explode on impact, but it will split into secondary projectiles that can explode.
However, I think Magma Orb can explode and chain and explode, but the chains don't auto-target. It goes in random directions, like this example: https://youtu.be/Tx-rraNtQ_M?t=341 (in fact, it should go in a straight direction but the video is what happens when linked to mines...) Pyroclast and Icicle Mines might be similar to Magma Orb though I'm not really sure because I don't play mines. On the other hand, attack skills like Elemental Hit and Lightning Arrow does exactly what you want. Last edited by jeerinho#7997 on Nov 7, 2020, 3:52:50 PM

you can then use other auren and supports to trigger explosions on kill:
e.g. my build sofar: Herald of Ash: overkill damage dealt as explodes Curse: Punishment doomblast from impending doom as a Witch, with a chance to explode a cursed+killed enemy +25% passives notes with explosion like a large jewel with unspeakable gifts (+10%) +culling strike (or the note from a jewel: wish for dead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ki3Y03hn5I iam testing obs and if you like you can see my explosions with the cursechanger witch There are alot combinations to trigger explosions, also some gear can help. If the fireball kills one enemy the explosions should start from the beginning |

" I don't understand how Elemental Hit + Lightning Arrow can chain explosions. Can you explain? |

Here is the wording of Elemental Hit explaining..
If the attack hits an enemy, it will also deal damage in an area around them, It does an Aoe around every enemy it hits, so if it is chaining, it is doing multiple Aoe's (call it an explosion) Lightning Arrow has the wording... Hits up to 3 additional enemies near the target Not an explosion, nor an AOE, but close. Note that both of these are ATTACKS, not spells. | |

I don't think there's such a spell to meet the requirements.
Only attacks - like ele hit and kinetic blast. They have the desired behavior when chaining. This is a buff © 2016

Elemental Hit video
https://youtu.be/NULHI5K_8F8 which was taken from this guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2902027 This is ranged (wand/bow) version and he has one setup supported by Barrage Support for single-target, and another setup supported by Chain and GMP for clear. FYI the radius of the blasts are big enough that on the melee version I innovated myself, I only needed Tribal Fury for clear. No Melee Splash, no Ancestral Call, nothing else. And it's one skill setup for both clear and single-target. This is Lightning Arrow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Rwu5YBTww |
