New Blessing support gems

I haven't seen any chatter about these gems, but they seem like kind of a big deal. I've been on a break from PoE for a while so maybe I'm just missing something, don't these gems just give you a free aura? It seems like the only cost here is the extra socket required.

So if I have an essence worm, an Eternal Blessing support, and the Clarity %100 reservation reduction mastery can I have 3 completely free auras on my MOM build? 4 if you add in free Vitality from it's mastery (why not while I'm at it)

Is there some drawback I'm not seeing? It seems weird that nobody is talking about something that looks like it will be required for almost every build from now on.

100% increased eficiency = 0,5cost not 0

Your non-blessing skills which reserve mana are disabled during blessing.

Somehow I think they intended for essense worm not to bypass this.

So, its a temp aura to replace your normal ones? Doesnt seem overly strong.

Basically, if you are MoM or Archmage, you could have a temp aura now if you press a button (macro..) every 11.2 seconds.

Damnit. I read those gems like 10 times and somehow my brain kept dropping the "non" part of non-blessing. I don't know what I thought that line meant, but I definitely misread it.

Thanks for the clarification.

It does look like Divine Blessing doesn't have that line, but it's drawback is that you have to continually recast the aura at a pretty major mana cost.

A bit more research did bring me to this little gem though

They destroyed supreme ego keystone for essence worm, so it should damn well work with eternal blessing.

Also since the path of math video release, the gems were also released and his assumption that the blessing would last 20 sec turned out to be wrong - at gem lvl 20 it lasts 10.90 sec.

March of Legion allowed to bless 4 of your auras before the nerf. Now Blessing limits the number of blessed auras to ... ONE. It means aura stackers lost from 1 to 3 possible auras in their setup.
