Self cast discharge is a timeless skill that is famous from the very early days of poe. I am always tempted to come back to this skill.

It is hard to beat the satisfaction of a multi-screen explosion that one shots everything.

In modern day poe this skill is definitely outperformed by others but it still has it's place. And with the new shrine belt it is in a very good place that we haven't seen in awhile.

It's very cheap to get started and to clear t16s / watchstone bosses. The budget starts getting crazy once you want to do the uber bosses.

This pob will take you from twink leveling all the way to ubers. Discharge can be swapped to comfortably once you hit level 56.
