The Support Gem is a skill in Path of Exile 2, and the choice is truly huge. The sheer amount of material available can be intimidating (and for good reason), but there are some gems of support that should absolutely not be ignored.
The strongest support gems in Path of Exile 2
Support gems are the foundation of your skills, and the best ones can turn a good build into an amazing one. These are the strongest; those that ultimately define or unlock the potential of the Skill.
Controlled destruction
When Controlled Destruction is equipped with any Spell, it gains 30% increased damage at the cost of preventing it from critically hitting. If you’re building raw damage, this Support Gem is one of the most powerful thanks to its multiplicative nature. It’s best used on Spells with high base damage, but will still be very mighty on any of your main Spell-based Skills. Just remember that it is Just for Spells. Attacks cannot exploit this.
Fight pace
Any build that uses Combat Skills/weapons (a skill/weapon that is swinging or physically used) can exploit Combat Tempo. This powerful Support Gem provides a free skill to which it is attached 25% attack speedwhich is huge in terms of stats. This means that your slowest Skills can become quite brisk when equipped. Attack speed is a major factor in DPS, so this Support Gem is a must-have for many builds.
Unleash
Unleash can be a game-changing Support Gem for any spell it is paired with thanks to its incredibly powerful effect. Without getting into the mud of things, it effectively allows cast the spell twice in one go, with the second spell causing a immense 50% damage reduction. Still, Unleash provides a consistent DPS boost because the spell’s mana cost doesn’t change despite being cast a second time, effectively for free. All that said, Deliverance should be on one of your main DPS spells because the damage enhance is especially huge in burst-based scenarios.
Casting considered
If Controlled Destruction wasn’t enough damage for your Spell, consider considering casting instead. Considered casting makes your Spell monstrous 40% Damage enhance at considerable cost 15% casting speed. The penalty here is huge and you should take it into account before using this Support Gem. However, if you can find a way to suppress the negative, this gem is absolutely insane for your damage output.
Inevitably critical
Critical hits on a target can trigger many triggers, but without enough critical hit chance you won’t see them trigger. Enter Inevitable Critical, a support gem that has you covered 25% base critical hit chance per second for the Skill it is equipped for, up to a maximum of 100% criticism. This actually means that every four secondsyour Skill is guaranteed to critically hit, which can be extremely useful for your main DPS skill. Alternatively, you can also exploit this Support Gem on a Skill you are not using, unless Critical Hit stacks 100%.
Momentum
If your build relies heavily on generating energy for meta-skills such as casting burn or casting smite, Impetus is a very useful support gem to consider. Momentum can only be equipped on Meta-skillsbecause it provides an unconditional enhance in energy gain by 40%.
Primal Weapons
It’s very essential to enhance DPS (damage per second), especially during the endgame, and Primal Armament is one of the best-in-class Support Gems that can be used for this purpose. When equipped with Attack based Skill, he assures 25% unconditional damage enhance. always, without any obligations. There are also no negatives associated with Primal Weapons, making it one of the most influential Support Gems for any of the main damage-dealing Skills.
Cannibalism
Cannibalism is a powerful Support Gem that allows this Recover 4% of your max life each time you score a kill. This is fantastic for sustain-based playstyles that rely on killing enemies, and it’s something you’ll need to do a lot of to survive the endgame. It can only be inserted into the slot Reinforcement based Skills and possessions The cost of spirit related to its exploit, so you may need to plan ahead for this. However, if you can, Cannibalism is an amazing Support Gem to exploit.
Deadly poison
For any build that uses poison-based damage, Deadly Poison is an irreplaceable Support Gem to slot into. Equipping it with the Skill dramatically increases your Poison Infliction power (75% of the size) at the expense of 25% less damage on direct hits. This negativity is painful, but if your goal is to deal damage with Poison DoT (Damage Over Time), then Deadly Poison is a crucial aspect of your build. Take advantage of it.
Burning Flame
At the cost of 25% of the damage to the Assisted Skill, Blazing Flame compensates for this with a huge enhance in Ignition Power of 75%making this Support Gem an ideal choice for Ignite based builds. Increasing the size of the ailment isn’t the easiest thing to achieve, so having such a immense enhance for the Support Gem makes it something that shouldn’t be ignored.
Elementary focus
Elemental Focus is another Support Gem that does nothing but enhance the damage of the Skill you put it into. Increases damage by a significant amount 25% and can be combined with other similar Support Gems such as Primal Armaments for even greater effect. The only noticeable downside to using Elemental Focus is that it prevents the Skill it’s attached to from dealing Ailment, which can be problematic if that’s your goal.
Championship support
Any type of damage Path of Exile 2 has a Support Gem designed to improve the overall level of the Skill to which it is attached one. If you didn’t know, leveling up Skills provides more benefits than most other mechanics in the game (including other Support Gems), which makes these Gems extremely essential when it comes to placing the Skills most integral to your build/playstyle. There are no downsides to using them, so it’s worth doing.
Sacrifice
Immolate is one of the absolute strongest damage-dealing support gems in the game. Grants Rift Skill by 30% Additional Fire damage to enemies with Ignite, which is ridiculous for a Support Gem. This “Extra” part is especially essential because it means that the damage this Gem provides is coming After all other damage calculations are performed as a stand-alone remaining damage modifier. In elementary words: increases your damage significantly more than other Support Gems. Generally speaking, “extra” damage is extremely difficult to come by, so it’s crazy for this gem to deal it. If you want to significantly enhance your damage, exploit Immolate.
Supports exposure to the elements
All elemental forces in Path of Exile 2 have access to the Exposure Support gem, which causes a debuff to an enemy hit by the skill it is attached to. The debuff reduces this type’s resistance by a significant amount, allowing you to deal more damage to this elemental against that target. This is very valuable in getting rid of the high elemental resistances common to endgame enemies, allowing you to deal with them much easier. Furthermore, Exposure debuffs stack with Curse debuffs, allowing you to easily strip away Resistance.
Bloodlust
If you are using Bleeding Ailment, you should consider using a Bloodlust Support Gem on your main damaging Skill. Bloodlust grants the Skill it is attached to significant power Damage increased by 30%.at the expense of an ability that cannot trigger the Bleeding status. More damage is always useful, so exploit this if you like Bleed.
Vitality
Self-sufficiency is more essential Path of Exile 2 compared to its predecessor thanks to its incredibly punishing ending. After all, you can’t deal damage when your health pool is zero. There are many ways to enhance your survivability, and Vitality is an almost free and uncomplicated way to achieve this. It allows you to regenerate one percent of maximum health per second. While this obviously won’t save you from hefty blast damage, it is fantastic for maintaining your health for a longer period of time. The only real limitation is his high spirit costwhich can make entry hard if you are not prepared for it.
Secret time
Arcane Tempo works identically to Martial Tempo, except that it involves spells rather than weapon-based skills. Provides a rift spell 25% increased throwing speedwhich means a significant DPS enhance when using generic Support Gems for your main damage skill. Like Martial Tempo, it has no downsides to speak of, making it one of the best support gems you can exploit to enhance your overall DPS.
Mobility
Mobility is a mighty option as a Support Gem, as it allows you to position yourself more safely in combat without suffering most of the negative effects associated with attacking from a distance. While all movement penalty is not negated with this Support Gem, most of it is, and it is very noticeable Path of Exile 2 most hard content.
