Path of Exile 2 Earthquake Mechanic FAQs

1. Can Jagged Ground patches overlap or stack?

No. Earthquake cannot create new patches on top of existing ones, and you're limited to 2–4 active patches depending on gem level and quality.

2. Does Aftershock scale with weapon damage or patch magnitude?

Both. Aftershock inherits the Slam's base damage and benefits from increased Jagged Ground magnitude, making it ideal for high-physical builds.

3. How does dual wielding affect Earthquake?

Dual wielding causes both weapons to hit, but each deals 30% less damage. Two-handed maces are generally preferred for maximum Aftershock impact.

4. Can Earthquake be triggered or used with Totems?

Yes. Earthquake is compatible with trigger setups and Totem supports, allowing automated Slam deployment in trap or totem builds.

5. Does Earthquake benefit from AoE or Duration modifiers?

Absolutely. AoE modifiers increase the radius of both Impact and Aftershock, while Duration modifiers affect Jagged Ground timing and patch persistence.
