How Can I Tell If Impale Is Working in the Game?

-

I’m new to the game and still figuring things out. I’m wondering if there’s any visual cue that shows when impale is active. Sometimes, it’s tough to tell if it’s actually working and if I’m getting any benefits from it. I’ve got the Impale support gem equipped with my spectral throw skill, so I’m hopeful it’s applying correctly. Additionally, I want to know if I’m getting enough stacks and whether stacking them is worth it. Any insights would be really helpful!

I didn’t realize the spikes were a sign of impale either! It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the visuals in the game. Testing it out in a controlled environment sounds like a great plan. And yeah, Path of Building is a lifesaver; it really simplifies figuring out your builds!

When you impale mobs, you should see big metal spikes sticking out of them. It’s pretty noticeable! Also, if you’re looking to optimize your build, definitely check out Path of Building Community. It can show you your impale damage and average DPS, which really helps in tracking how effective your setups are.
