In POE2 Currency, the term “recently” always refers to the past 4 seconds. During this short window, the bonus is active, even if you don't land another crit immediately after. This makes Storm Charge especially useful for builds that can consistently trigger crits—even if their main elemental damage sources don’t themselves land critical hits.
Here’s an example: imagine a character whose main source of damage is a fire DoT skill like Flame Wall or Burning Ground. These effects generally don’t critically strike. However, if the player also uses a secondary ability like Fireball or Lightning Strike that can crit, those crits will activate Storm Charge. As a result, even the DoT effects will benefit from the 40% elemental damage boost.
The +20% critical chance provided by Storm Charge also feeds back into the system, increasing the likelihood of landing another crit and refreshing the effect. This synergy allows players to keep the buff active more consistently in prolonged combat.
