Path of Exile 2 Lightning Rod [Lvl 21 Sockets 5]

Lightning Rod is a Tier 1 Barrageable Attack Skill in Path of Exile 2 that fires arrows from above, creating delayed Lightning bursts. Arrows remain embedded in the ground and interact with Chaining Lightning beams, charging up and releasing additional bursts. The Lightning Arrow skill bypasses this delay, triggering bursts instantly.

"Fire an arrow that drops from above, creating a Lightning burst. The arrow remains in the ground, and any Chaining Lightning beams can Chain to it."

Note: Purchasing this item, you will receive a level 21 Lightning Rod gem with 5 Support Sockets.
