Multiple of the Same Skills
|
Really quick question for devs or beta players:
Can you have multiple of the same skill gemmed on different pieces of gear, which are modded differently with different support gems? For example, can I have BOTH a Cold Snap with added damage and bigger AoE as well as a Cold Snap with fast attacks and magic find at the same time active? Thanks! Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow,

Haven't gotten that many support gems/gear to use them in what you're referring to, but when it comes to duplicate gems I think you use the higher level gem for the skill. Could be wrong; I'd check but I can't get into the game right now.

Well, no.
But you can have more than one of the same gem in different pieces of equipment, in this case the highest level gem gets used, and benefits from all the support gems attached to any of the gems of the same type. So, gloves with level 3 cold snap + added damage + Boots with level 7 cold snap + increased AoE = Level 7 Cold Snap with added damage and increased AoE |

" To my knowledge, yes you can. For instance, I have a Cold Snap with +AoE and +rarity in one slot, then in another I have +chaos damage -- and I see the chaos damage added to my Cold Snap, as well as the AoE/rarity. Whether this is intended or not, I cannot say. " You started out saying no.. then used his exact example to say yes?

Yes. You can have multiple gems equipped of the same type. This allows you to have more options for modifying your skill with support gems. You will not have two different versions of the skill though. Just one version with multiple effects.
You can read about it in the skills section under advanced supports. Last edited by Phuture#7252 on Aug 17, 2011, 5:38:55 PM

" His example was having two different versions of cold snap, each with different supports - which is not possible. |

The amount of stuff that should be able to be achieved with this system has me very excited.

Sweet, thanks for your answers.
That's a bit of a bummer... I was hoping I'd be able to have two specialized versions of the spell rather than just one super spell... being able to mod one Cold Snap ability(for example) through multiple items seems like a mechanic that really really emphasizes spamming only one Hulk ability. I'm sure throughout the beta that issue (or development direction) will be addressed. I just hope that it doesn't turn into a single-spell spam-fest. Edit: clarified what sort of "spam-fest" I meant.
