Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - Awakened suport gems are a failure - Forum

Bet they are about as rare as mirrors. I've had a mirror drop. I don't plan on seeing one of these supports.	Posted by Shagsbeard#3964 on Dec 11, 2019, 1:19:03 PM Quote this Post

What if these gems alter the other effects instead like increased area of effect or increased attack/cast speed in addition to more damage? Maybe the downsides of these gems are bigger to match the increase in power? We just don’t know at this stage. The only support I recall doing anything interesting was Spell Cascade and even then that was strictly an upgrade in terms of adding effective AoE through giving it a better layout. I'm still annoyed that they wasted a cool name like "Awakened Support" for what seem like very bland designs.	Posted by VolcanoElixir#1787 on Dec 11, 2019, 1:32:13 PM Quote this Post
These items are purely for the streamers to showcase and pursue. They will be as rare as hen's teeth and if you're lucky you might see one drop during the whole league. Just your bog standard GGG bait activity. Don't count on them.	Posted by Aldora_the_Summoner#4021 on Dec 11, 2019, 2:24:21 PM Quote this Post
Players need something to think their exp and time into. Super supports are a great way to facilitate that. Even a 1% increased damage from 21/23 versus 21/20 gems was enough for players to dump several exalts into so imagine what 10-20% more damage will cause players to do. Even more for 6/20 awakened gems. IGN: Arlianth Check out my LA build: 1782214	Posted by Nephalim#2731 on Dec 11, 2019, 2:28:59 PM Quote this Post
Ppl saying they will be rare. Arent they supposed to drop from New Bosses? If its a Boss drop, it wont be so rare as a fucking mirror And even If they are rare, someone will have enough money to build around then. And for this build he will be limited in choices. So almost every maxed build will be using only 35 gems instead 130 Last edited by HoockBr#6817 on Dec 11, 2019, 2:37:32 PM	Posted by HoockBr#6817 on Dec 11, 2019, 2:35:04 PM Quote this Post

If its a Boss drop, it wont be so rare as a fucking mirror We dont know yet but they probably wont be rare as a mirror. We know that they are not a garanteed drop from bosses. Could require # boss kills or ##. Last edited by Walltrigger#5210 on Dec 11, 2019, 2:40:13 PM	Posted by Walltrigger#5210 on Dec 11, 2019, 2:38:56 PM Quote this Post

Awakened Support Gems aka support plus gems are just stronger version of normal gems with no new unique mechanic so just more powercreep. Last edited by Rakiii#5559 on Dec 12, 2019, 11:59:41 AM	Posted by Rakiii#5559 on Dec 12, 2019, 11:59:24 AM Quote this Post

I always lol at people who cry "failure" before the league even starts. Relax Chicken Little, the sky isn't falling.	Posted by Gulch#5697 on Dec 12, 2019, 12:55:35 PM Quote this Post
