Skills that have dealt a Critical Strike in the past 8 seconds deal 40% more Elemental Damage with Hits and Ailments

Elemental Overload (often referred to as EO) is a keystone passive skill that causes skills to deal 40% more elemental damage with hits and ailments for 8 seconds after that skill deals a critical strike, at the cost of removing extra damage from critical strikes. When it is active for a skill, it is indicated by a diamond on that skill's icon in the skill bar.

Per conversion mechanics, Elemental Overload's 40% more Elemental Damage will apply to physical damage converted into elemental, and elemental damage converted into chaos. Additionally, because inflicting damaging ailments with base damage of a different type is treated similar to conversion, Elemental Overload will apply to poison originating from damage that was elemental at any point.[2] For example, poison inflicted with lightning damage damage through Volkuur's GuidanceVolkuur's Guidance

Strategy

Elemental Overload is best allocated on characters that do not invest in critical strike but still deal critical strikes occasionally. Modifiers to critical strike multiplier no longer have any effect and can be ignored when assessing equipment.

Ideally, when Elemental Overload is allocated, the player will strive to deal at least one critical strike every 8 seconds in order to keep the damage effect active. This can be achieved by balancing critical strike chance and hit rate. An average of one critical strike every 8 seconds is achieved by performing 12.5/(Critical Strike Chance) hits per second. For example, with the minimum critical strike chance of 5%, a character who performs 2.5 hits per second will on average deal a critical strike every 8 seconds (this assumes your accuracy for melee/ranged weapons allows a 100% chance to hit).

Elemental Overload and Ignite

Although the 40% More Elemental Damage modifier may seem less powerful than the +50% to damage over time multiplier an Ignite applied by a Critical Strike would apply, note that damage over time multipliers are additive with each other. EO's 40% More modifier, on the other hand, is multiplicative with all other modifiers. If you have at least +25% to your current DoT multiplier, EO will grant your Ignites more damage than the additional DoT multiplier with a crit. EO also only requires that you crit occasionally, rather than with each Ignite.

Elemental Overload vs Critical Strikes?

This table compares average damage of critical strikes versus elemental overload (with green indicating Elemental Overload is better than Critical Strikes).

It assumes that you have a 100% uptime on elemental overload.

The crit chance used in the table is effective crit chance, i.e. the real critical strike chance including accuracy.

3.16.0
  • The Elemental Overload Keystone Passive Skill now gives more Hit and Ailment Elemental Damage to Skills if they crit in the last 8 seconds. This means that you can't use a second rapidly hitting skill, making a small amount of critical chance investment much more important to skills taking advantage of Elemental Overload.
3.12.4
  • Triggering Elemental Overload's effect will now display a timer which shows how long its effect will last.
3.0.0
  • Now also disables Damage Multiplier for Ailments from Critical Strikes.
2.2.0
  • Introduced to the game.
