Why this setup is not working?

I think image says all.


Portal Gem which is IN the wand IS SPELL.
So it gains +1 level from the wand.
Wand has no lvl req, but with Portal lv2 it has.
Why? There should be removed lvl restriction when Portal gem is lv 2.
??
PM ME on forums if i win ;)
+Gem Levels never has an effect on Level requirements - that's why you can still use a Gem in a +1 item even if you barely hit the base level requirements.

You seriously think that a higher level of a gem should have lower level requirements?

Even Diablo 3 doesn't hand-hold that much.
The Portal gem does remove the level requirement if you corrupt it to level 2.

It's a good idea to look up what the higher level gem in question actually does before making snotty misinformed comments.

There is a difference between what things are and what players should expect.

Things of a higher level or quality should have higher requirements.

So "snotty" would not be the applicable word.
Obviously most ppl understand it wrong.

As the portal gem wiki says: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Portal
"It is possible to gain an additional level on a Portal gem by applying a Vaal Orb to it. At level 2 (Max), the level requirement is removed but there are no other changes."

So what i mean, if gem is lv2 there should be no lvl requirement for Portal gem (and only for portal).
But IT IS on lv2 because wand is giving +1 gems in this item.

That's what i meant, ure right Viper, didnt realized that it doesnt affect lvl req when +1 gem.

At least that topic helped me a lot!
Now i know i shouldnt never even follow builds written by: Natharias.

How do you explain that ?


One of two cases is true:

1. Only a real level 2 Portal will have no level requirement. Supporting it up to level 2 won't work.

2. It is a bug and GGG should be notified. Clarification from GGG would be nice.
