Vaal Molten Shell is a vaal skill that temporarily grants you extra armour and causes you deal a burst of fire damage for each hit you take, for a short duration.
Skill Functions and Interactions
Duration: Skill duration will increase the duration of Vaal Molten Shell.
Spell Echo: When supported by Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Echo", Vaal Molten Shell will apply its buff once (the additional armour is not applied twice), but will detonate twice per hit, so the damage output is effectively doubled.
Strategy
Unlike its non-Vaal counterpart, Vaal Molten Shell will persist for the full duration, regardless of how many times an explosion is triggered. This unique property offers potentially vastly more utility than Molten Shell at the cost of less availability. Because of this, it is recommended that Vaal Molten Shell be saved for an occasion in which it will offer the greatest benefit, such as during an encounter with a Unique mob or even a troublesome Rare.
Due to the nature of Vaal Molten Shell, it has synergy with support gems that utilize the potentially frequent explosions, such as Stun or Life Leech; however, the rather steep soul cost of Vaal Molten Shell gates the strength of the gem. In addition, while the armor offered during Vaal Molten Shell's duration is first-rate, it may cause conflicts with Cast When Damage Taken.
