Skills Tutorial /6
Throw a splitting bolt of steel from your weapon that explodes on impact, dealing damage in an area. Use the Call of Steel ability from this gem to create Steel Shards that launch with Splitting Steel, exploding into multiple shards to damage nearby enemies.
impale
Impale Support
Deal more physical damage and Impale enemies, dealing additional damage to enemies with additional hits. You can impale enemies up to five times to deal even more additional damage to enemies.
Brutality
Brutality Support
Cause Splitting Steel to deal much more physical damage, but no elemental damage. Try not to get additional lightning, fire, cold or chaos damage with this support gem, as they will be reduced to zero.
LesserMultipleProjectiles
Multiple Projectiles Support
Increase the number of shards that explode from Splitting Steel when you launch a Steel Shard, hitting more enemies. Obtain the Greater Multiple Projectiles Support gem at later levels to throw more projectiles and hit larger groups of enemies.
RangedPhysicalAttackDamage
Vicious Projectiles Support
Greatly increases the physical damage dealt by Splitting Steel, at the cost of slightly reducing your attack speed. An invaluable way to increase your damage.
Maim
Maim Support
Support Splitting Steel with this gem to Maim enemies, dealing more physical damage and slowing their movement. Slow monsters to make them easier to avoid.
SlowerProjectiles
Slower Projectiles Support
Slow down your bolts of Splitting Steel to make them hit harder for more damage. The projectiles that explode from Call of Steel's shards are also slower, and deal more damage.

    Splitting Steel


    Splitting Steel is an attack which uses your sword or axe to launch a projectile that impales enemies on hit. This skill consumes Steel Shards from Call of Steel to cause the projectile to split and hit multiple enemies.

    Skill functions and interactions

    • Steel Shards: Equipping this skill grants the Call of Steel ability, which is used to generate Steel Shards. This skill consumes 1 Steel Shard to have the projectile split to hit additional nearby enemies.

    • Additional Projectiles: If you use the skill without any Steel Shards, it will always launch only one projectile, even if you have additional projectiles from other sources.

    • Gem Type: Splitting Steel is a Green gem, indicates it is a dex gem, despite in higher gem level, the str requirements is higher than dex. Splitting Steel does not affected by mod such as +# to Level of Socketed Strength Gems, but affected by mod such as +# to Level of Socketed Dexterity/AOE/Projectile Gems or +# to Level of all Physical Skill Gems. Splitting Steel is an attack skill thus physical spell mod does not affect this gem.

    • Melee: Shattering Steel is not considered a melee attack despite using melee weapons, similarly to Spectral Throw.

      • Shattering Steel does not have melee gem tag.
