Path of Exile 2 Wind Dancer FAQs
How does Wind Dancer scale with evasion-based builds?
Each stage grants 10% more Evasion Rating, stacking up to 30%. This synergizes with builds that rely on high Dexterity and evasion passives.
Can Wind Dancer be triggered manually?
No. Gale Force only triggers when you're hit by an enemy. The timing is automatic and cannot be manually activated.
Does Wind Dancer work with ranged weapons?
No. It requires a martial melee weapon to activate and scale properly.
Can Wind Dancer be supported by knockback or AoE gems?
Yes. Support gems like Magnified Area and Blind enhance Gale Force's explosion radius and crowd control.
What happens if you're hit before reaching max stages?
Gale Force will still trigger, but with reduced damage, radius, and knockback based on the number of stages consumed.
