New Skill Gem system feels like a downgrade

Be honest, under almost no circumstance have any of you reading this NOT linked at least three of the following support gems in every skill in PoE1: 1) Increased cast/attack speed; 2) Increased damage of desired type; 3) Increased crit chance; 4) Increased ailment; 5) Leech.

Honestly, never have I put those on more than 1 skill. And two of those I've never used.

But I also play ruthless so finding more than 1 support of the same type is rare.

it's a glorified d3 skill rune system. gives me ptsd flashbacks of it, not sure wtf they were thinking

+1, this game just feels like a cheap Diablo clone it feels more like diablo than POE

I think the gem system is great now that I don't have to deal with links anymore, now I just worry about getting my stats up.

I feel like I'm enjoying the game alot more with this gem system as i don't feel punished with bad RNG. Don't forget that if you have trouble finding a game or an uncut onee, if you got some exalted orbs or transmutation orbs that your not using, you can use them to purchase the gems you needed.
