Storm Burst is an active skill gem that unleashes orbs of energy while channelling. The orbs jump towards (or if targeting a nearby area, around) the targeted location and deal lightning damage to enemies.
Channelling Storm Burst creates a cluster of pulsing orbs that follow the mouse pointer. Enemies can be hit by multiple orbs, but the orbs spawn in a spread out pattern resembling buckshot. With proper Area of Effect boosting, an enemy will be damaged by most if not all orbs greatly enhancing Storm Burst's single target damage.
Every 0.4 seconds all orbs move toward the mouse pointer and perform a damage pulse, until they expire or until channelling is stopped, at which point all orbs explode, dealing 75% of their remaining damage potential.
The number of hits with Storm Burst scales with Cast Speed, Spell Duration and Area of Effect range. While at low level just 2 out of 5 orbs may hit one enemy, at high level all of the 25+ orbs may connect with each and every enemy. Because of the many hits per second Storm Burst will apply the Shock Ailment. The tooltip does not account for these effects, greatly understating the endgame damage of Storm Burst.
