PoE Onslaught

Ah, Onslaught! The adrenaline rush of Path of Exile, granting an exhilarating boost to your attack, cast, and movement speed. Let's dive into the details:

Effects:

  • 20% increased Attack, Cast, and Movement Speed: This translates to quicker attacks, faster spell casts, and a zippy escape from danger (or pursuit of prey).
  • Short duration: Onslaught lasts for 4 seconds, but can be refreshed by various means (discussed below).

Applications:

  • Offensive Boost: The speed increase enhances your DPS, allowing you to melt down enemies faster and clear maps efficiently.
  • Defensive Advantage: Quicker movement helps you dodge attacks and reposition strategically, minimizing damage taken.
  • Utility: Faster casting speeds benefit utility skills like movement abilities and buffs, speeding up your overall gameplay.

Obtaining Onslaught:

  • Gem Support: The "Onslaught Support" gem linked to an attack skill has a chance to grant Onslaught on hit.
  • Flasks: Certain flasks have modifiers like "Gain Onslaught on use" or "Increased Onslaught Effect."
  • Ascendancy: Some Ascendancy classes like Raider and Juggernaut have passives that grant or enhance Onslaught.
  • Unique Items: Unique items like Daresso's Defiance and Avatar of the Chase boost Onslaught effect or grant it under specific conditions.

Maintaining Onslaught:

  • Flask uptime: Utilize flasks with Onslaught modifiers and manage their charges effectively to keep the buff active.
  • Hitting Enemies: The Onslaught Support gem keeps the buff going with consistent attacks.
  • Specific Skills: Skills like Ancestral Warchief or Vaal Molten Shell can trigger Onslaught through their unique mechanics.

Considerations:

  • Investment: Getting Onslaught consistently may require specific gear, gems, or Ascendancy choices, impacting your build's overall focus.
  • Flask reliance: Flask-based Onslaught can be interrupted by flask downtime, potentially leaving you vulnerable.
  • Balancing Defense: While Onslaught boosts offense and movement, don't neglect your defenses to maintain survivability.

Overall:

Onslaught is a powerful buff that elevates your combat and traversal, adding a satisfying layer of speed and dynamism to your Exile experience. However, consider its cost and synergy with your build before diving headfirst into the adrenaline rush.
