Path of Exile 2 Falling Thunder [Lvl 21 Sockets 5]

Falling Thunder is a Lightning-based melee Slam skill in Path of Exile 2 that channels Power Charges into a devastating cone attack, followed by a barrage of piercing Lightning projectiles. It's ideal for hybrid melee-ranged builds and charge-based burst setups.

"Infuse your Quarterstaff with electrical energy, then Slam the ground to deal damage in a large cone in front of you. Consumes your Power Charges to fire Lightning Projectiles forwards from the impact."
