Soulrend

Soulrend is an active skill gem that casts a spell projectile that turns towards enemies in front of it, damaging and piercing through those it hits, and leeching some of that damage as energy shield. As the projectile travels, it repeatedly applies a short but powerful chaos damage over time debuff to each enemy in an area around it.

Skill functions and interactions

• Soulrend has two damage components: a hit-based projectile component, and a DOT-based component caused by the projectile to enemies around it.

• Hit: The Soulrend projectile when hits deals chaos damage, and leeches 4% of this damage as Energy Shield.

• Damage over Time: The Soulrend projectile applies chaos damage over time to enemies around it over a short duration. This damage over time is also affected by modifiers to spell damage. Critical strikes have no effect on the damage over time inflicted by the debuff.

• Projectile: By default Soulrend fires 1 projectile. Modifiers to number of projectiles will increase this number. For example, Soulrend can be linked with Greater Multiple Projectiles Support for better clear, and the damage penalty only applies to the hit-based component, not the DOT component.
