Voltaxic Burst is a spellskill gem which, after casting, waits for a short duration before releasing a burst of lightning and chaos spell damage in an area around you, exploding enemies killed by it.
Area of Effect: Increased AoE will increase both the area of the burst and the area of the secondary explosions.
Duration: Increases and reductions to duration will affect the time between the cast and the burst. Reducing the duration will allow you to deal damage sooner, while increasing the duration might allow you to make better use of 1% more Damage with Hits and Ailments for each Cast of this Spell currently waiting.
The modifier: 1% more Damage with Hits and Ailments for each Cast of this Spell currently waiting, is taken into account when an individual spell cast deals damage, not when said spell was initially cast [1]. i.e. If the player were to have 30 casts in waiting, the first spell to deal damage will have a 30% more multiplier. If the player was to stop casting, the final cast of that initial 30 would only have 1% more damage. Voltaxic Bursts cast using different Skill Gems use the same counter for the aforementioned modifier, but have distinct durations based upon the gems supporting it.

Explosion: The corpse explosion deals secondary damage in an area and cannot be reflected.
"Enemies killed by this damage, or shortly after, will explode.": Enemies killed within 0.5 seconds of taking damage from a Voltaxic Burst's hit will explode, even if killed by a minion or ally. This duration is inherent to the skill and is not modifiable in any way. [2]
