Changes from default version

Unlike the original skill, this transfigured version causes the spore pods to apply a stack of Withered to nearby enemies instead of reducing movement speed. The spore pods also have a lower duration.

Skill functions and interactions

The explosion of the Spore Pods counts as a hit, which allows for rapid application of "on hit" effects such as poison, or life and mana gain on hit.

Increasing the number of projectiles increases the number of pods you produce, thus increasing your damage.

Accuracy affects all hit portions of the skill but does not affect the damage over time of the pods.

Sources of increased area of effect allow the damage over time from each spore to overlap. This also increases the spread of the pods.

Spore explosions and arrows count as "kill with this weapon," but the damage over time component does not.

Optimal Single Target Setup

Based on user testing, it is actually better for your single target damage to increase your area of effect by 39%. The easiest way to obtain this include:

• 20% increased Area of Effect while wielding a Bow Bow Mastery
• +1 AoE gem/increased AoE Veiled mod on helmets/gloves (8-10%)
• x% increased Area of Effect Searing Exarch Eldritch implicit mod on helmets (7-8% (Lesser) to 11-12% (Grand))
• Corrupted jewels (any kind) (4-5%)
