POE2 Currency expands on the deep customization of its predecessor, and one of the standout passive skills gaining popularity is Storm Charge. Whether you're building around elemental spells, stacking crits for massive bursts, or just looking to boost your DPS window, Storm Charge is a simple yet powerful tool for many builds. It offers consistent damage amplification, provided you understand how to use it effectively.

Storm Charge is a passive skill that grants the following effects:

20% increased Critical Strike Chance

40% increased Elemental Damage if you've dealt a Critical Hit recently

The term "recently" in Path of Exile 2 Currency means within the last 4 seconds. So, if you land a critical hit on an enemy, the 40% bonus to elemental damage kicks in and lasts for 4 seconds. You don’t have to keep landing crits nonstop—just land one every few seconds to maintain the buff’s uptime.
