Static Strike

Static Strike is a melee attack that strikes your enemies and builds up static energy on you, dealing damage around you when the energy expires.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Static charge: The initial attack is a single target melee attack with no special properties other than the damage multiplier. After the duration runs out, the static charge deals area of effect damage around you. Unlike e.g. , each charge has its own timer. Duration modifiers will affect the delay between the initial attack and the discharge.

Note that the discharge damage is not limited to the lighting damage alone, any flat elemental damage gains from gear, auras, weapons are counted towards the discharge damage. Auras will apply to both the discharge and the melee portion of the attack.

Discharge waves count as attacks, and therefore can be blocked, evaded or dodged, which is helpful when dealing with reflect rares or maps.

The discharge wave does not have a travel time and hits all enemies in its range instantly. Using it with a Cast on Crit gem is not a good idea, as it can only cause a maximum of one spell activation per wave no matter how many enemies get hit, due to the Cast on Crit cooldown.
