Path of Exile Marauders, prepare to unleash explosive power and expand your banner’s influence with the introduction of the new Awe and Terror passive skill cluster, located southwest of your starting area. Let’s delve into the details of this exciting addition and discover how it enhances your banner skills, turning them into instruments of destruction and control.
The Awe and Terror cluster bestows two potent benefits upon your banner skills:
Explosive Demise: Enemies killed in the area of effect of your banners will have a 20% chance to explode, dealing a tenth of their life as physical damage. This adds a layer of area-of-effect damage to your banner skills, potentially clearing out groups of enemies in devastating explosions.
Expanded Banner Reach: Banner skills you cast will have a 20% increased area of effect. This means your banners will cover a wider area, granting their buffs to a larger number of allies and impacting more enemies, enhancing your battlefield control and support capabilities.
Area-of-Effect Builds: If you enjoy utilizing area-of-effect skills, the Awe and Terror cluster is a valuable addition to your passive skill tree. The explosive effect and increased area of effect will significantly amplify your area-of-effect damage and control.
Party Play: The Awe and Terror cluster is particularly beneficial in party play, as the explosive effect can help clear out large groups of enemies, while the increased area of effect ensures your allies receive the benefits of your banners.
Consider Enemy Density: When facing densely packed groups of enemies, the Awe and Terror cluster’s explosive effect can be particularly impactful, maximizing the number of explosions and area damage inflicted.
Overall, the Awe and Terror cluster presents a compelling addition to the Marauder’s passive skill tree. By granting explosive power and expanding the area of effect of your banners, this cluster empowers you to become a master of area-of-effect damage and control, turning the battlefield into a zone of destruction and domination. So, raise your banner, embrace the Awe and Terror, and unleash a storm of explosions and banner mastery!
