Runic Inscription - GGG Needs to start adding way more information in game

I was looking at the support burning inscription and i couldnt find a single skill in game that created, or casted a runic inscription.

After extensive google searching i found that curses create runic inscriptions after using impending doom. So in order to make burning inscription work, you need impending doom. I dont know if anything else works because quite frankly i dont know why impending doom works.

The new direction of path of exile 2 needs to be less obfuscation and confusion. If youre going to have highlighted key words, i should be able to type those words into the search box and get results. I am really tired of needing third party tools and reddit and all other types of community guidance to find information on basic mechanics.

The same struggle happened when i tried to find out the difference between exposure and penetration. And needing to turn to reddit to find out that exposure is applied first, then penetration and penetration cant go below zero...none of this information is actually in game. I dont know where they got it from, maybe they heard one of the hundreds of interviews honathan rogers has done over the last few months.

My point is, if you guys dont want to official support path of building, then make the need for it obsolete. Start explaining everything in game.

After an hour of looking, i still have no idea what a runic inscription is, what skills do them, i just know that curses will trigger burning inscription. why runic inscription is not a visible tag on the gem only GGG will know.

Hello fellow Exile,

I am sorry for your somewhat frustration about the mechanics related to Runic Inspirations.
First: The game is still in early access. Please always consider this as far as you play the EA of any game. We are here to help, make the full release version more accessable for all interested gamers.

Now to your request: Runic inscrictions are literally what it says. Everything, that can be cast in form of a rune on the ground. The mechanic is what is says. This includes all common curses, that you can cast as a rune on the ground, but some more.
As far as I figured out, the rune casted by Profane Ritual to sacrifice a corpse for a Power Charge, is supported by Burning Inscription as well.
Sigil of Power on the other hand is not supported by it, because its considerd a sigil, not a rune.

Other than that, runes are not a fully developed mechanic as it stands. Its up to us, the community, to make something good out of it.

Hope, I could give you some helpful information here.

See you in Wraeclast, Exile.
join the evil side of live
