PoE Maim

Maim in Path of Exile is a debuff applied to enemies which slows them down and can also increase the damage they take from certain sources. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know:

Effects:

  • Reduced Movement Speed: Maimed enemies have their movement speed reduced by 30% for 4 seconds. This makes it harder for them to chase you or flee.
  • Increased Physical Damage (Optional): Maim does not directly increase damage, but it can be a contributing factor depending on other elements:
    • Flesh and Stone Skill: This skill applies a debuff that increases the physical damage enemies take by nearby maimed enemies.
    • Maim Support Gem: This support gem grants a chance to maim on hit and increases the physical damage taken by maimed enemies from supported skills.
    • Blood in the Eyes Passive Node: This passive node grants bonus physical damage against maimed enemies.

Applications:

  • Maim is primarily used by physical damage builds that benefit from slowing down enemies and potentially increasing their damage taken.
  • It can be particularly useful against mobile enemies or in situations where kiting is important.
  • The damage increase synergizes well with skills like Flesh and Stone and cleave-type attacks that benefit from hitting multiple enemies close together.

Mechanics:

  • Maim is applied by attacks, just like hinder is applied by spells.
  • Multiple maims do not stack; only the strongest debuff effect applies.
  • Maim can be dispelled by certain enemy abilities or player flasks.
