Path of Exile 2 Skeletal Brute Mechanics FAQs
Do Skeletal Brutes revive themselves after death?
Yes. Once summoned, they return to life after a short delay unless the skill is deactivated.
What defines a "Primed" enemy for Heavy Stun?
Enemies become Primed through specific debuffs or interactions—typically from other skills or support gems that mark them as vulnerable to Stun. Skeletal Brutes will only trigger Heavy Stun and Shockwave on such targets.
Does Shockwave scale with support gems or gear?
Yes. Shockwave damage benefits from Minion Damage, Area Damage, and Physical Damage modifiers. It can be enhanced via support gems like Impact Shockwave and Magnified Area.
Can Skeletal Brutes Stun bosses?
Only if the boss is Primed. Without Priming, most bosses are immune to Heavy Stun. Builds must incorporate Priming mechanics to enable full Brute functionality in boss fights.
Do multiple Brutes trigger overlapping Shockwaves?
Yes. If multiple Brutes cause Heavy Stuns simultaneously, their Shockwaves can overlap, creating burst AoE potential.
