Skills
Can you link multiples of one support gem to a skill?
Yes, but they don't stack. Only the highest level gem will take effect.
Can a support gem affect more than one skill?
Yes, it affects every skill in the link.
Does this support work with this skill?
As a general rule, the keywords of the support gem need to be included in the skill gem. (Keywords are the category words near the top of the mouseover description, such as "Attack" or "Projectile".) Exceptions are the words "Fire", "Cold", "Lightning", and "Chaos"; supports like Added Fire Damage affect any damage-dealing skill. "Bow" is also equivalent to "Projectile". Below are answers to common questions:
- Life Gain on Hit only works with Attack skills. Life Leech works with everything, however.
- Freezing Pulse has 100% pierce chance, so it doesn't work with Chain or Fork.
- Increased Duration won't make charges gained from skills last longer. It only affects the skill itself, which is instantaneous.
