All Skill gems have gem tags (also called keywords) listed in the first line of the mouseover description. In addition to dividing the skills into groups, gem tags largely determine which support gems and modifiers can modify a certain skill. The relationship is not strict, however.
Support Skill Keywords
While you can technically link any support gem to any skill gem, some combinations will have no effect. If a support gem contains one of the following keywords, the skill must have the keyword as well to be affected. Note that any skill with the Bow keyword counts as having Projectile.
Just "Support":
Elemental Focus
For example, Freezing Pulse and Ethereal Knives get no benefit from being linked to Point Blank: although they are Projectiles, they are not Attacks.
Overview of gem tags
Category | Mainpage | Description |
---|---|---|
AoE | Area of effect | Skills that have some Area of Effect portion to them.
Note that some skills with the AoE may not be affected by Area Damage but only benefit from increases and reductions to the radius. |

An aura is a permanent effect focused on your character that also affects nearby party members and minions.

Bow | Bow | These skills require a bow to be used. They implicitly have the Projectile gem tag. |
