Path of Exile 2 Shockburst Rounds Mechanic FAQs

Do Shockburst pulses trigger on every hit?

No. Pulses only trigger when bolts hit enemies currently affected by a Lightning Ailment such as Shock or Electrocution.

Can Shockburst Rounds inflict Shock or Electrocution?

No. The skill explicitly cannot inflict Shock and has 100% less Electrocution buildup. It relies on external sources to apply Lightning Ailments.

How does the reload mechanic work?

Each use of Shockburst Rounds loads a clip of bolts. Once all bolts are fired, the skill must be used again to reload.

Does projectile damage affect the pulse damage?

No. Pulse damage is calculated separately and scales with Lightning and AoE modifiers, not projectile damage.

Can Shockburst Rounds pierce or chain?

Yes. With support gems like Pierce and Chain, bolts can hit multiple targets, increasing the chance to trigger pulses.
