Purifying Flame of Revelations

Purifying Flame /6

An area of effect spell that deals physical and fire damage in an area and creates Consecrated Ground. Casting the spell again creates a wave that damages enemies standing on nearby Consecrated Ground.

Name	Show Full Descriptions
Added Fire Damage Support	Grants additional fire damage based on your physical damage.
Physical to Lightning Support	Converts 50% of Purifying Flame's physical damage to lightning damage, as well as providing extra lightning damage based on your physical damage. Because 50% of physical damage is already converted to fire from the skill gem, this causes all physical damage with Purifying Flame to deal elemental damage.
Intensify Support	Increases Purifying Flame's area of effect and grants Intensify stacks with each cast, reducing its area of effect and increasing its damage. This helps it damage tough enemies with repeated casts. When you move or teleport you gradually lose Intensity stacks.
Controlled Destruction Support	Grants more spell damage to Purifying Flame but reduces critical strike chance. The more spell damage provided by this support allows a direct and stable increase in damage not contingent on critical strikes.
Unleash Support	Slowly grants charges of Purifying Flame over time. These expend when cast to unleash repeat effects of the skill, rapidly damaging enemies multiple times. The damage of the unleashed casts are slightly reduced.
Elemental Focus Support	Removes the ability for Purifying Flame to inflict elemental ailments, such as ignite, on enemies. However, it significantly increases the amount of elemental damage Purifying Flame does. Converting all physical damage from Purifying Flame to elemental damage maximizes the benefit this support provides.

Purifying Flame

Purifying Flame is an active skill gem that casts a wave of divine fire damage in a line, then creates Consecrated Ground and deals damage in an area around the targeted location. A larger shockwave then expands outwards, damaging enemies standing on Consecrated Ground that were not already hit.

Skill functions and interactions

The secondary shockwave can only hit enemies that were not previously hit by the initial cast, meaning that an enemy will only take damage from this spell once per cast.
