Can Support Skill Gems support Skills granted by Equipment?

or to put the question differently: do skills granted by equipment act like skills linked to any support gems socketed into that piece of equipment?

specifically / for example, if I socket a hex support gem into "asenath's gentle touch", would it support it's "curse on hit" skill?

and for my education & future reference: where were you able to find this information?

tyty!

You can indeed support a skill from an item, but only in cases where the item actually grants you a skill to support. Asenath's doesn't do that, so you can't do anything to support the Temp Chains it casts.
I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.
oh? (thanks for the reply!)

so how can one tell whether an item confers a skill or just an ability(?)
would it have to match/refer to an actual, existing skill gem?
(such as "item grants ICE SHOT level 10")

and, is there a list somewhere showing all the items which grant skills?

thanks again!

"Grant skill", "trigger skill" can be supported by support gems (excluding Empower, Enhance, Enlighten). "Curse on hit" can't.
thanks everyone!
