دليل Path of Exile: ميكانيكا Holy Hammers و Holy Sweep

Path of Exile 3.28 Mirage League shook up the skill meta by introducing an entirely new family of holy skills, and two of them stand out immediately for their map-clearing and single-target potential: Holy Hammers and the reworked Holy Sweep. These skills share a core hammer-drop mechanic that rewards players who invest in area-of-effect scaling, and understanding how they interact is the fastest way to get ahead in the early league. This guide breaks down every important number, the best support pairings, and the exact AoE investments you need to maximize overlapping damage.

ما هي المهارات المقدسة الجديدة في PoE 3.28؟

Mirage League adds a full suite of holy skill gems tied primarily to the new Reliquarian Ascendancy for Scion, though several holy skills are accessible to other classes as well. The flagship additions include:

• Holy Hammers (Strength/Intelligence): A ground-slam that cascades hammers forward on enemy hits, with Power Charge consumption for additional side hammers.
• Holy Sweep (reworked from the old Sweep): A 360-degree weapon swing that randomly drops hammers on struck enemies. Hammer hits cannot be evaded.
• Holy Strike (Strength/Intelligence): Infuses your weapon and summons undamageable Holy Armament minions on hit that copy your main-hand weapon stats.
• Divine Blast (Strength/Intelligence): A shield-scaling beam that creates a delayed implosion followed by a larger explosion.
• Shield of Light (Strength/Intelligence): A retaliation skill triggered on block that sends out a wave of light in a cone.

This guide focuses specifically on Holy Hammers and Holy Sweep, since they share overlapping mechanics and are the most immediately accessible for early-league farming.

إحصائيات أساسية لجواهر Holy Hammers

Holy Hammers: كيف تعمل آلية التسلسل؟

Holy Hammers requires a mace or staff to function. When you slam the ground, a hammer falls from above. If that hammer contacts an enemy, it immediately spawns another hammer that cascades forward, repeating for each subsequent enemy hit up to a maximum cap. Consuming a Power Charge calls down additional hammers to both sides of your initial slam, which is the key to unlocking the skill's full clearing width.

إحصائيات أساسية لـ Holy Hammers

At level 20 with 20% quality, two attacks hitting two areas each produces 792% total weapon damage. With an 85% attack speed multiplier applied, consistent two-area coverage reaches approximately 673% weapon damage.

The critical insight here is that the first attack range in every chain receives a flat 100% more damage multiplier. This means stacking overlapping areas is not just a clearing tool but a genuine single-target damage amplifier.

كيف تحقق أقصى تداخل للمنطقة؟

The skill's base radius of 1.8 meters is modest on its own. Visual estimates from trailer footage suggest that simple overlap can push the effective radius to around 3 meters. To hit the triple-overlap threshold where the hammer radius reaches 6.2 meters and total damage climbs to 1848% weapon damage, you need dedicated AoE investment.

Here are the confirmed AoE sources that stack toward this goal:

• Fist of War Support (level 20, 20% quality): 59% AoE increase
• Pulverise Support (level 20, 20% quality): 44% AoE increase
• Juggernaut Endurance Charge Stacking: 90% AoE increase
• Unyielding Talent Node: 30% AoE increase
• Brinkmanship Passive Cluster: 10% per small node, 20% from the main notable
• Seismic Cry Warcry Skill: 50% AoE increase
• Ribcage Crusher Notable: 8% per small node and 15% per notable when you have recently stunned an enemy

For the absolute maximum setup, you also need Cluster Jewels, Strength stacking, and Elder-modifier affixes on one-handed maces (which grant 3% additional AoE per 50 Strength).

Holy Sweep: ماذا تغير في إعادة العمل؟

The old Sweep was one of Path of Exile's most neglected skills. It could not deal damage or land critical hits, functioning only as a clumsy knockback tool that almost no player used in serious builds. The 3.28 rework transforms it entirely.

Holy Sweep now swings a two-handed mace or staff in a full 360-degree arc. Enemies struck have a chance to drop a hammer that attacks other enemies within range. Critically, these hammer hits cannot be evaded, giving the skill a built-in accuracy bypass.

إحصائيات أساسية لـ Holy Sweep

The 360-degree coverage makes Holy Sweep more effective against multiple simultaneous targets than against a single boss, which creates an interesting niche. In encounters like Uber Cortex where two bosses are present simultaneously, the multi-hammer drops have more targets to land on, making Holy Sweep proportionally stronger there than in single-boss fights.

كيف تزيد ضرر Holy Sweep ضد هدف واحد؟

The key to pushing Holy Sweep's single-target output is generating additional attackable targets so more hammers drop and overlap on your primary enemy.

Writhing Jar is the first essential tool. This life flask summons two attackable worms when an enemy is stationary in combat. By hitting both worms simultaneously with Holy Sweep while their attack ranges overlap the primary target, you stack extra hammer drops on a single enemy. With both worms hit and their hammers overlapping, the math breaks down as:

• Base Holy Sweep: 726% weapon damage
• Two additional hammer drops: +572% weapon damage
• Total: 1298% weapon damage

Squirming Terror Ring automates part of this process by summoning a worm every two seconds. Killing that worm also has a chance to trigger a socketed spell, adding a secondary layer of utility.

Hydrosphere provides a different angle. Each cast spawns an extra attackable target (or applies a soaking debuff), and attacking the water orb generates an additional hammer drop. Hydrosphere has a one-second internal cooldown, capping it at one extra attack per second, but including it brings the per-use total to approximately 1012% weapon damage.

The most powerful interaction, however, involves Battlemage's Cry combined with two Hydrospheres. Battlemage's Cry triggers five attacks from you on use and triggers an equipped spell on the first melee hit. Because each Battlemage's Cry hit alternates between the two Hydrospheres, you effectively bypass the one-second Hydrosphere cooldown entirely.

General's Cry is the standout answer. At level 20 with 20% quality, General's Cry summons six phantoms, each of which performs one attack before disappearing. A late-3.27 update changed how phantom activation works: newly spawned phantoms are not immediately counted as active, so using General's Cry destroys your existing phantoms and grants more time to execute their attacks. The slow attack speed of General's Cry itself becomes irrelevant because you are limited only by the warcry's cooldown.

Blood and Sand under Sand Stance is another strong AoE amplifier. AoE buffs are genuinely rare in Path of Exile, and Sand Stance represents one of the most accessible sources of that stat for melee builds.

جواهر الدعم الجديدة التي تقترن بالمهارات المقدسة

3.28 introduces four new support gems with direct relevance to holy skill builds:

Blessed Call Support deserves special attention for Holy Hammers. The Consecrated Ground it generates helps sustain life while you stand in place executing hammer slams, and the thematic match with holy skills is a bonus. Note that it cannot support triggered warcries, so it works alongside manual warcry setups rather than Autoexertion.

Reliquarian Ascendancy والمهارات المقدسة

The Reliquarian is the new Scion Ascendancy introduced in 3.28, and Holy Hammers is listed as one of its primary associated skills. The Reliquarian's design borrows from the Scavenger class in the Legacy of Phrecia event, allowing players to absorb the passive effects of specific Unique items through Ascendancy nodes.

For Holy Hammers builds specifically, the most relevant Reliquarian nodes include:

• The Brass Dome (Armour node): Provides 350-400% armor boost, elemental resistance cap increase of +1-5%, and critical strike immunity. Ideal for tanky slam builds that want to stand still while hammers cascade.
• Victario's Influence (Armour node): 15% increased skill reservation efficiency and +2 levels to all Aura Gems, useful for aura-stacking setups.
• Terminus Est (Martial Weapon node): Frenzy Charge on critical hit via Blink Strike, which feeds into the Power Charge consumption mechanic of Holy Hammers indirectly through charge generation loops.
• Tear of Purity (Jewellery node): Level 30 Purity of Elements with 100% mana reservation efficiency and immunity to elemental ailments. Expected to be one of the most popular nodes in the league.

النقاط الرئيسية للعب Holy Hammers و Holy Sweep

Both skills share a satisfying hammer-drop loop that scales with AoE investment, but they serve different primary roles:

• Holy Hammers excels at map clearing through cascading chains and wide AoE coverage. Its 9-range maximum with Power Charges makes it one of the broadest-hitting slam skills in the game.
• Holy Sweep shines in multi-target encounters and can be pushed to impressive single-target numbers through Writhing Jar, Hydrosphere, and General's Cry interactions.
• Both skills benefit from the same AoE investment sources, so building one helps you understand the other.
• The new Blessed Call Support and Hallow Support are purpose-built for these archetypes and worth testing in your support gem setup.
• For the Reliquarian specifically, The Brass Dome and Tear of Purity nodes are the strongest defensive picks to anchor a Holy Hammers build.

Start with modest AoE investment and feel how the cascade mechanic responds before committing to the full triple-overlap endgame setup. The base experience is already strong enough to carry you through early maps, and the ceiling is genuinely high once the currency starts flowing.
