Shockwave Support is a support gem that causes the supported attack skill to release a Shockwave skill iconShockwave on hit, dealing attack damage to enemies around the enemy. It causes the supported skill to be restricted to staves and maces.

Skill functions and interactions[ | ]

  • Ancestral Call Support, Ancestral Cry, and Tribal Fury: Additional targets attacked will proc the shockwave, provided additional stored uses are available.
  • Area of effect attacks: Shockwaves will proc for each enemy hit by area of effect attacks, as long as there are charges available. For example, when supporting Earthshatter inventory iconEarthshatterEarthshatterAttack, AoE, Slam, Duration, Melee

    , Shockwaves will proc for the initial hit, each enemy hit by each fissure, and each enemy hit by each of the shattering spikes, with every instance consuming a stored use. This makes it a good choice for slow- and single-hitting skills, and a poor one for every other type of melee attack as the charges will deplete too rapidly.
  • The effect of Shockwave is independent of the proccing hit's damage, but is affected by linked support gems.
  • Shockwave cannot be exerted by warcries.
