Maximizing Area Effect and Overlaps with Perforate in Path of Exile

Perforate in Path of Exile has a unique area effect modifier and can achieve a high level of scaling with three multipliers.

The skill also offers the ability to have multiple overlaps, especially when using the Blood Stance with Ashes.

Using Ashes and Auto Exertion in the setup can further increase the cooldown recovery rate of Seismic Cry.

Optimizing Perforate Slam Build for Maximum Efficiency

Perforate slam is best exerted by Seismic Cry with VX or desport asites for a lower attack rate.

Using a chance to deal double damage craft on the axe is not ideal due to the existing double damage from intimidating trry.

An auto-exertion setup with Seismic Cry requires an Enlighten and increased mana reservation efficiency, allowing the use of Herald of Purity, Flash, and Stone.

Tips for Optimizing Blood and Sand Build in Path of Exile

Using amp strings can help get close to Cacique Str and it's recommended to use AME amethyst ring to reduce poison damage.

Making adjustments to the skill tree, such as focusing on increased damage and area effect while in Blood and Sand stances, can help optimize the build.

With the rework of rage, it's important to prioritize skills that provide sufficient rage on hit to prevent it from falling off too quickly.

The Benefits of the R Hit Per Hit Modifier in "Expedition"

The R Hit Per Hit modifier now gains 4 R on each hit, with a 1-second delay in rage loss, beneficial for boss fights.

The modifier also prevents rage from falling off during mapping if a monster pack isn't encountered within 2 seconds, providing a significant increase in arrow effect for clear speed.

23 AE multiplier, the 40% increased Arrow effect results in over 130% increased area effect, making it highly effective.
