Changes from default version

Unlike the original skill, this transfigured version spends Power Charges instead of Frenzy Charges and does not deal damage over time. It has a lower cast time, higher critical strike chance, larger area of effect, and has a chance to gain Power Charges on critical strike.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Critically striking multiple enemies with one cast of this skill will still only gain 1 charge. This means that the skill is self-sustaining assuming the player has 100% chance to gain a power charge on critical strike (and 100% critical strike chance), but only exactly self-sustaining - charges beyond the first will need to come from other sources.
  • Minimum charges cannot be spent, and thus cannot be used to bypass the CD of the skill. "Pseudo-charges" (like the ones provided by Ralakesh's ImpatienceRalakesh's Impatience

    ) also cannot be spent to bypass the CD.
  • Monsters that cannot be critically striked will prevent the creation of a power charge on cast, putting the skill on CD. Note: this is not the global monster mod that makes them unaffected by or resistant to crits (which still counts as a crit and will generate charges)), this is relevant only to complete crit immunity - currently, the only mod that makes monsters completely immune to crits appears in the Expedition mechanic on remnants.
