Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - Can two skill gems share support gems? - Forum

I've looked and can't find an answer. If I have 4 links can I place gems so that two skill gems seem to share two support gems, i.e. Skill-1<->Sup1<->Sup2<->Skill-2? How do they interact?

They don't have to be next to each other. Just need to have a "path" between them.	Posted by MagosX#1099 on Dec 16, 2022, 4:34:09 PM Quote this Post
Thank you. I was, also, able to find this: " This sword has 1 strength socket, 1 intelligence socket, and 2 dexterity sockets. Every socket is linked to every other socket. In this sword you could put: 4 skill gems. You would get access to 4 active skills. 3 skill gems and one support gem. You would get access to 3 active skills, and all three would be improved by the support gem. 2 skill gems, 2 support gems. You get 2 active skills, both are improved by both support gems 1 skill gem, 3 support gems. You get 1 active skill that is boosted by all 3 support gems. at https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Game_mechanics#Attributes. I definitely need to keep digging deeper. There's so much out there.

Zizaran's Cold DoT Trickster Leaguestarter takes advantage of this mechanic... effectively turning a six-link chest into two five-link items https://pobb.in/U6_GR3T0ksDt (set gems dropdown to Maps) Vortex Creeping Frost Lifetap Controlled Destruction Elemental Focus Cruelty Notice that, in-game, if you hoover your mouse over one of the skill gems the support gems that are connected get highlighted too (I'm missing lifetap)... indicating which gems are linked to the one you are hoovering Last edited by Caraota#3621 on Dec 16, 2022, 9:15:19 PM	Posted by Caraota#3621 on Dec 16, 2022, 9:12:46 PM Quote this Post
