What is Shockwave Support in Poe, and How Does It Work?
Shockwave Support is a Support Gem, as we mentioned at the beginning of our guide. With any Shockwave attack you perform in-game, you can also deal attack damage to other enemies around the attacked target. In short, this gem triggers Shockwave. In addition, only weapons such as Maces, Sceptres, and Staves can be used in Shockwave Support Poe.
- Shockwave Support works functionally with skills and gems such as Ancestral Call Support, Ancestral Cry, and Tribal Fury, allowing you to additionally affect nearby enemies. Of course, as long as the current charges are full, the Shockwave will fire.
- AoE attacks will still trigger Shockwave for each enemy hit, as long as the charges remain full. However, each enemy you target will consume the stored Shockwave usage. This makes Shockwave Support a good choice for slow, one-hit skills. At the same time, all other melee attacks will also be a bad choice, as they will deplete charges very quickly.
- Lastly, you cannot use Shockwave with Warcry skills.
As you can see, Shockwave Support allows you to deal strong area damage with single and slow skills. It is handy, especially with the 160-260% base attack damage it provides.
