Mechanics[ | ]

One socketed spell is triggered at the end of an attack. If you have more than one spell socketed in a wand they will be alternately triggered between attacks, in order (top to bottom).

Cooldown Time: When a supported spell is successfully cast, it and all supported spells of the same name are put on cooldown for 150 milliseconds.[2][3] The resulting optimal attacks per second have certain breakpoints, which are lower than pure calculations would yield, likely due to technical constraints.[4]

Dual wielding: Spells will trigger right after their corresponding wand attack. Spells of the same name share the cooldown even if they are socketed in each wand (Ex: 1 Arc inventory iconArcArcSpell, Chaining, Lightning
