Static Shocks

Supports Skills which can Hit enemies. Shocking an enemy with Hits from Supported Skills Triggers Static Shocks, causing that enemy to become a source of Lightning damage sending pulses towards nearby enemies.

POEXPLORER FIELD NOTE

How to think about it

This creates a triggered payoff when supported hits shock. Treat it as a shock-frequency tool: the build must apply shocks often enough for the triggered effect to become dependable encounter damage.
