Skill Functions and Interactions
Repeatedly attacks a large area: At the start of the attack the player is instantly granted 4 stacks of Reave. After striking the targeted area, the attack repeats 7 times, rotating 135 degrees (the angle of the cone) counterclockwise for each strike.
Stacks: If no enemy is hit with Reave or Vaal Reave for three seconds, stacks are lost incrementally.
More Area of Effect: This is a local multiplicative bonus, it applies only to Vaal Reave and Reave. The maximum number of stacks that can be applied by Vaal Reave is 8, for a total of 240% more radius which ends up at about 41 units. This is in contrast to Reave which can only apply up to 4 stacks, but is capable of maintaining any number of stacks. Area of effect spreads out in a 135 degree arc.
Duration: Because Vaal Reave lacks the Modifiers to Skill Effect Duration also apply to this Skill's Soul Gain Prevention line (as duration has no effect on reave), Vaal Reave's soul gain prevention period cannot be modified with skill effect duration. However, the soul gain prevention duration can be modified by things that directly affect soul gain prevention, such as the Soul Catcher flask.
