A List of Alternate Gem Behaviors in Game

Hey GGG,

I can't find anywhere that describes what the Alternate Behaviors are of (applicable) skill gems. With most of the skills, whether I'm in my hideout or in gameplay, I have a really difficult time trying to figure out what the difference is between behaviours for the gems that have the option (both on PC and Xbox).

So my suggestion is to have somewhere in-game, that describes the difference between the skill's behaviour options. For example, with the console screen, maybe have a description that pops up while the skill is highlighted in the section where you can change which skills are assigned to which buttons. Does that make sense? If it doesn't, it'd still be nice to know what the Alternate Behavior toggle is actually toggling.

Thanks for your time! I'm loving the core changes with 3.12!

EDIT: This is the screen I poorly described above as my suggestion for explaining how the selected behaviour differs from its opposing option.

Um what are you talking about? It's literally just what the quality on the gem does which you can see what the quality does in game already.

Thanks IonDrako!

I'm not referring to Quality. I'm referring to Alternate Gem Behaviour. Some gems have options to act differently based on the selected option. I just added a picture so people don't get this post mixed up with Alternate Quality.

Oh that must be something purely on consoles as I've never seen that before. My bad for misunderstanding, maybe try posting in the console feedback/suggestion forum https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/716

Oh no problem at all. I wasn't sure if the issue was just console-specific or not. I know some alternate behaviours would be console-specific...maybe they all are? I'll post it there to be sure.

I think it's more the alt-behaviour occurs when you're attacking with the Stand in Place key held on PC.

PoE console doesn't have a Stand in Place option, so this would be a kludge to work around it.

Might be, ya. For some skills anyway. The picture above is for Animate Weapon and I can't tell via in-game testing what the difference is between either option.
