Hextouch Support

Curse on Hit is a trigger gem that causes a linked curse to cast when the player makes a successful hit.

Mechanics and Interactions

Curses cast via this trigger no longer possess their AoE effect, only affecting the enemy hit with the linked skill.

Traps and Totems supported by this gem will not apply any curses even though the tooltip says they can and curses linked to this gem are disabled from being cast directly. This is still true even when using a spell or attack linked to the Trap or Spell Totem/Ranged Attack Totem support gems.

To use this gem, it needs both a linked attack, and a linked curse. Otherwise it has no effect.
