What Impale means
PoE2 definitionImpale is a Debuff inflicted by Hits, which stores 30% of the Pre-mitigation Physical Hit damage of the Impaling hit as its Magnitude.
Subsequent Attack Hits against Impaled targets will Extract the Impale debuff. When this occurs, the Magnitude of the Impale is added to the Pre-mitigation Physical damage of that attack hit.
A maximum of 60 Impale Debuffs can be present on a target at once. If multiple Impales are present on a target, each Attack's Hit only Extracts and benefits from the strongest one of them.
