Tempest Flurry Invoker Skill Gems

To make our Tempest Flurry PoE2 build effective, we have to select appropriate Skill Gems. You can see brief descriptions of the main skills in the table below. So here’s a list Skill Gems that we have prepared for you:

Main Skill Gems:

• Falling Thunder — Infuses your Quarter staff with electrical energies, then slams the ground to deal damage in a large cone in front of you. Consumes your Power Charges to fire Lightning Projectiles forwards from the impact.

Your spender ability that consumes Power Charges for massive area damage. Best for clearing open areas

• Tempest Flurry — Perform a series of aggressive Strikes. When used in quick succession, the third use Strikes three times, and the fourth performs a Final strike that calls down a powerful Shocking bolt.

Faster attacks, stronger attacks, benefiting from Charged Staff’s shockwave. Ideal for generating shocks and dealing consistent single-target damage.

• Tempest Bell — Build Combo by successfully Striking Enemies with other skills. After reaching maximum Combo, use this skill to cause the Bell on your staff to grow to massive size as you drop it on the ground.

Deals massive area damage when struck. Use against high-health enemies or large groups for burst damage.

• Siphoning Strike — Dash to a target and Strike them with your Quarterstaff. If the target is Shocked, consumes the Shock to release a Lightning shockwave around the target and grant you a Power Charge.
• Charged Staff — Consume all Power Charges to infuse your Quarterstaff with electricity, adding Lightning damage and a Lightning shockwave to your Quarterstaff Attacks. Reusing this skill while the Buff is active adds to the Buff‘s duration and damage.

Adds flat Lightning massive area damage and creates damage buff with a shockwave on every attack to nearby enemies. Keep this buff active at all times for maximum damage.

• Herald of Thunder — While active, killing Shocked enemies with Attack damage, will cause subsequent Attack hits to release lightning bolts which deals Attack damage to all surrounding enemies.
• Killing Palm — Dash to an enemy and Strike them with an unarmed Attack, Culling enemies if their life is low enough. Each enemy killed by this strike grants a Power Charge. Enemies around you that can be Culled will be highlighted. This skill always Strikes with your bare fist, even if you have a Quarterstaff equipped.
• Lingering Illusion — Creates a short-lived illusory copy of yourself whenever you dodge roll. The copy can be damaged by enemies, and copies that are destroyed by an enemy will grant you a Power Charge.
• Voltaic Mark — Marks a target, making them more susceptible to being Shocked. When the Marked target dies, a Lightning nova erupts from their corpse. This nova does not use your Weapon Damage, and instead uses its own base Attack Damage.
