New Support Gem Reveal - Blasphemy



This support gem overrides the mana cost of your skill, replacing it with a 25% mana reservation. The curse is applied as an aura around you, affected by both your curse and aura radius increases. It is not, however, affected by Aura Effect passives, as these will now only apply to friendly auras.



It will still follow curse limit restrictions, so you can only have one curse aura affecting a monster at once without investing in additional curses. Aura curses will take priority over cast curses, but if you have additional curses, enemies can have both.

The skill provides an alternative aura for characters that prefer close range combat. We've got Doedre to thank for this support, as the system was set up to let us create the curse zones in her encounter.



I hope you've enjoyed this sneak peek at the upcoming support. For more on upcoming content, keep watching www.pathofexile.com.

Can curses using this support be reflected back to you? Say if Atziri stands in radius of the aura? I am thinking no since it would now be classified as an aura. Confirmation?


That's right, currently it can't be reflected. Atziri may need to come up with some alternatives to ruin your day, but she's not prepared for curse auras yet.

Doedre, on the other hand, will probably gorge herself on the seemingly unlimited supply of curses affecting her.
