When you hit an enemy it basically does a Molten Shell explosion hitting all nearby enemies for the same damage.

It requires 76 souls if I'm not mistaken which overall makes it extremely underwhelming. Half the time I just use Rain of Arrows instead as I can fire over enemies with it.

Feels like it should be causing burning ground or something.

For now I'll keep using it but once I get an AoE skill with a few links I don't think it'll match up and it's not worth linking itself.
My vision for a better PoE: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/863780
No, it requires 24 souls (as indicated in the gem description). And it'll store up to 3 uses.
12 souls now (but requires 50% more in cruel and 100% more in merciless).

Using it as a supplement for my LA/frenzy build.

I'm playing invasion, and so far it's very impressive. I save up 3 souls and use them at invasion bosses or hard rares. It hits very hard.

This is based on normal difficulty only. Will see how it works in merciless / maps (should I ever reach it).
This gem with LMP hits like a truck, due to shotgun effect as the explosions overlap. With LMP and fork it clears out packs quickly, while recharging souls (it's _almost_ spammable on normal)

Love it.
Why does this Vaal gem have such a low soul req while hitting hard?

I think quite a few other Vaal gems (if not all except ST) need further soul req reduction.
SSF since ~OB
I have this gem in my crit bow ranger and I kinda want to test it's potential.
While it says some pretty good avg.damage a crit from my frenzy or split arrow kills
everything way easier.
I've linked with WED+FA+ICD.

Any thoughts ?
To crit or not to crit ?
i'm making a PHY crit pierce ranger

using :frenzy , plit arrow pierce and vaal burning arrow

for now level 50 shadow

you can switch the gem in town to another item and keep your charges when you go back
