PoE2 skill gem

Gathering Storm

Flip backward and Channel to charge your Quarterstaff with Lightning. Releasing dashes towards the target location, damaging enemies along the way. Releasing with Perfect Timing performs a Lightning-assisted dash that releases shockwaves from enemies you dash through. Perfectly Timed dash also explodes Tempest Bells on hit creating a shockwave that deals more damage and has a larger area, leaving Shocked Ground in its wake. This skill cannot be Ancestrally Boosted.

Direct change

Fixed bug where the Gathering Storm shockwave from exploding Tempest Bell wasn't hitting Enemies.

0.5.0
Direct change

Gathering Storm: Now causes Perfectly Timed dash to explode any Tempest Bell on hit, creating a massive shockwave that deals 564-869% Attack Damage at Gem levels 13-20. Shocked Ground is left in the wake of the Tempest Shockwave (previously on Perfect Dash), with a radius of 3.2 metres, turning precise timing into a devastating area-clearing combo. Perfect Timing Shockwaves can now only hit enemies once per skill use, and no longer interact with objects created by non-Tempest Bell skills. Shockwave limit is now 50. Quality now grants 0-20% longer Perfect Timing window (previously +0-8 Maximum shockwaves per use).
