PoE Voltaxic Burst Skill Build 3.15

Voltaxic Burst Voltaxic Burst grants a buff that counts down to zero, triggering a burst of lightning damage around you with a portion of that damage converting to chaos damage. Enemies slain by your Voltaxic Bursts will also explode dealing chaos damage around them based on their maximum life.

You can stack up many Voltaxic Bursts on yourself at the same time. Consider using duration modifiers to modify the timing of the explosion so that you can cast the skill from safety then move into a strategic position before it explodes.

Skill functions and interactions

Area of Effect: Increased AoE will increase both the area of the burst and the area of the secondary explosions.

Duration: Increases and reductions to duration will affect the time between the cast and the burst. Reducing the duration will allow you to deal damage sooner, while increasing the duration might allow you to make better use of 1% more Damage with Hits and Ailments for each Cast of this Spell currently waiting.

Conversion: 40% of Lightning Damage Converted to Chaos Damage can be combined with Voltaxic Rift's 60% of Lightning Damage Converted to Chaos Damage to fully convert the damage dealt to chaos, allowing better scaling.

Explosion: The corpse explosion deals secondary damage in an area and cannot be reflected.

Astral Projector: Does work with Voltaxic Burst. The damage when the duration expires occurs where you targeted the spell rather than around you.

Item acquisition

Voltaxic Burst can drop anywhere. Drop level: 12.
