A List of Alternate Gem Behaviours in Game

Hey GGG,

I can't find anywhere that describes what the Alternate Behaviours 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.

Oh, i've used that skill before, they must have changed it's icon
Agreed, there's a lot of unknowns with what they all do differently unless personally tested. It would be nice to know what they are intending to do differently.

Like if its a movement skill:
Max range
Nearest enemy
Backwards
In place (shield charge?)

We have no idea what from that list, or things not even on that list, will happen with the main skill VS the 'alt behavior' is chosen.

TOTALLY. I'm really glad that so many console skills have Alternate Behaviours. I think it's an awesome addition..but I can't figure out so many of them.
