PoE Phasing & Phase Run

PoE Phasing

Sure, here's what you need to know about Phasing in Path of Exile:

What is Phasing?

Phasing is a temporary buff that allows you to move through enemies as if they were not there. This can be incredibly useful for dodging attacks, repositioning yourself in combat, and even skipping entire sections of some maps.

How do you get Phasing?

There are a number of ways to get Phasing, including:

  • Using the Phase Run skill gem: This is the most common way to get Phasing. Phase Run grants you Phasing for a short duration, and you can extend the duration by using Frenzy charges.
  • Using certain unique items: Some unique items, such as Atziri's Reflection and Perandus' Blazon, grant Phasing when you kill enemies.
  • Using certain Ascendancy passives: Some Ascendancy passives, such as the Raider's Quartz Infusion and the Pathfinder's Master Surgeon, grant Phasing under certain conditions.
  • Using certain flasks: Some flasks, such as the Quartz Flask and the Stibnite Flask, grant Phasing when you use them.

What are the benefits of Phasing?

There are many benefits to having Phasing, including:

  • Increased survivability: Phasing can help you dodge attacks and avoid dangerous situations.
  • Increased mobility: Phasing can help you move through enemies quickly and easily.
  • Increased utility: Phasing can be used to skip certain sections of maps or to reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.

What are the drawbacks of Phasing?

There are a few drawbacks to Phasing, including:

  • It is temporary: Phasing only lasts for a short duration, so you need to be able to reapply it if you want to maintain the effect.
  • It can be expensive: Some of the ways to get Phasing, such as using certain unique items or Ascendancy passives, can be expensive.
  • It can be confusing: Phasing can sometimes make it difficult to tell where you are going, so it is important to be careful when using it.

Overall, Phasing is a powerful buff that can be very useful for both offensive and defensive purposes. However, it is important to be aware of the drawbacks of Phasing before you use it.

I hope this helps!

Phase RunBuff grants (0–10)% increased Movement Speed50
Phase Run's secondary buff has a 0.2 duration and activates when you use a skill. Does the buff apply to the skill regardless of how long it takes to get the skill out, or would I need to finish my attack before the buff expires for it to apply?

You need to have the buff at the time the skill calculates damage, which is ultimately dependent on the skill in question, and as such there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Strike skills, and several other melee skills, will calculate damage against things in range when the skill starts (with the exception of flicker strike since it can't do that until it teleports), so those will tend to always benefit, and is what the buff was largely designed for.

Phase Run is a skill gem that applies a buff to the character that grants increased movement speed, increased stealth, and Phasing. Using any skill while Phase Run is active will replace the primary buff with a secondary buff that grants more melee damage for a shorter duration. Phase Run consumes Frenzy Charges to increase its duration.

Skill functions and interactions

Despite the skill's tooltip suggesting otherwise, the Melee Damage buff from Phase Run is present during both the primary and secondary buffs.

Duration: Skill Duration, Buff/Debuff Duration, the Increased Duration Support gem and Frenzy charges will increase/decrease the duration of both the primary and secondary buffs.

Monster Response time: Phase Run causes monsters to respond to the character's presence slightly slower than usual.

Trigger Gems: When linked to a Trigger Support gem, Phase Run should be placed as the last skill gem to be triggered, because otherwise the primary buff (movement speed) will be cancelled by any intervening skills and be replaced by the secondary buff (melee damage).

Damage - The more melee physical damage modifier will apply for a base duration of .2 seconds after the character uses a skill other than phase run. For most attacks this doesn't matter, because most attacks calculate their damage the moment you use them, however Flicker Strike does not calculate the damage until you teleport. When using an attack that snapshots the damage bonus will apply to the entire duration of the attack.

Item acquisition

Phase Run can drop anywhere. Drop level: 34.
