* '''[[Duration]]''': increases and reductions to duration increase or reduce time between impact and aftershock respectively. The following gems and items reduce skill's duration: {{il|Less Duration Support}}, {{il|Swift Affliction Support}} and {{il|Warped Timepiece}}. Be aware that Warped Timepiece will apply globally and reduce duration to buffs and other effects such as [[Fortify]].
* '''[[Duration]]''': increases and reductions to skill effect duration increase or reduce the time between impact and aftershock respectively. The following are some examples of gems and items that reduce skill effect duration: {{il|Less Duration Support}}, {{il|Swift Affliction Support}}, {{il|Timeclasp}}, and {{il|Warped Timepiece}}. Be aware that global duration reductions also affect other skill effects, such as {{il|Molten Shell}}.
* '''[[Dual Wielding]]''': Using Earthquake while dual wielding will use both weapons for attacking.
* '''[[Dual Wielding]]''': Using Earthquake while dual wielding will alternate between weapons. Aftershock damage is based on the weapon that performed the initial impact.
* '''Aftershock''': The aftershock is a specific part of the skill that [[hit]]s. [[Damage over time]] effects do not hit and thus are not affected by aftershock multiplier.<ref name="Aftershock"/>
* '''Aftershock''': The aftershock is the second half of the skill that [[hit]]s and has a 150% more multiplier to hits and damaging [[ailment]]s ([[poison]], [[bleed]], and [[ignite]]). The aftershock's multiplier does not apply to other [[Damage over time|DoTs]] like {{il|Decay Support}} or {{il|Corrupting Fever}}<ref>{{cite web|author=Mark_GGG|date=June 22, 2016|title=Mechanical Questions Thread|url=https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1676002/filter-account-type/staff|publisher=Official Path of Exile Forums|accessdate=June 23, 2016}}</ref>
* '''Accuracy''': Accuracy is checked per hit: it is possible to hit with the initial aoe, but miss with the aftershock, and vice versa.
* '''Critical strikes''': Crit is also checked independently per hit, but because hits from the same attack have the same crit roll, the aftershock will ''usually'' crit if the initial slam does. Conditional stats or debuffs like [[Brittle]] or {{il|Assassin's Mark}} could cause one hit to crit while the other doesn't.
* '''Area of effect''': Modifiers to AoE affect both the initial impact and the aftershock, making both larger or smaller - more noticeably the aftershock, having a larger base radius.
