Convalescence not sockable

There are spirit cost modifiers on support gems... could this be the problem?

I ran into this last league trying to run the Heightened Curse support gem with Blasphemy. Heightened Curse applies a '140% reservation multiplier' to supported gems.

Try socketing Convalescence without any supports...

Or find a large increased intelligence (or other modfier it requires) equip those and try to slot again

Just a test so to speak

Perhaps the tooltip is bugged and it actually requires higher stats at that level than your currently have?

It was somwthing they adjusted this league so its possible it might have fell through a crack where the tooltip got upgraded but the actual requirements didnt.

Just a thought

For me the highest lvl is 15 i think it has to do with max enery shield. I was at 4500 and it let me use a lvl 18 then when i dropped to 2600 i had to switch to 15.

Same issue for me..

1st Blasphemy gem broken now Convalescence won't socket.

Someone please fix these gems.

Just had this happen with a level 18 convalescence gem and I think I figured out what is going on.

This patch they made changes to attribute requirements on gems.

My character had 182 int and the level 18 convalescence gem says it requires 137 int yet I cannot socket it anywhere. I looked up the gem requirement on the wiki which still has the old value at 189 at lvl 18.

I added two int nodes to my tree and went from 182 to 192 and now I can place it in a socket and activate it. If I remove the int nodes again the skill becomes unusable in the socket without an explanation. It seems the attribute requirement is still using the old values even if the gem says otherwise. At least for the level 18 gem, didn't test other levels.

So I think I figured out the issue, the convalescence skill gem is only taking into account intelligence from the skill tree only and not including int modifiers from items, or at least not your weapons.

My overall int is 160 with 27 of that coming from my Sceptre. I am unable to socket my lvl 18 skill gem that requires 137 int however when I spec one of my life nodes into int taking my int from the skill tree only to 138, it is letting me socket the gem as well as activate it. If I then turn those nodes back into life, the skill is no longer active.

Bumping. Pretty sure it has a hidden int requirement from +skill levels to all spells. Temp fix is to just get more int then you need for other attribute reqs or use a lower level gem until then.

This really does need to get fixed, I have a min maxed toon where every affix slot is important and have to accept a convalescence gem 10 levels lower than everything else even though I need the int requirements on the gem.
