How to use gem skills in Path of Exile from tonghuan's blog

Active skills in Path of Exile consume POE Currency and can be used after being activated in weapons or armor. You can easily link the most important skills to the four-point keys on the controller so you can always master them. This way, you don’t have to go to inventory first.



Using your skills in “Path of Exile” is not much different from other RPGs. Once you figure out what the gem’s settings can do for you, just collect a lot of manas and chop off hordes of monsters. The major difference between other games and PoE lies in how you additionally use the power of gems.



The role of these auxiliary gems differs slightly from the talent gems you used to become powerful. Auxiliary gems can also reach higher levels and are limited by color. The difference is that these gems do not directly attack your enemies, but can support your talent gems in this battle. Clever use of auxiliary gems can be a matter of life and death in battle.



To use support gems, it is very important to place them in slots connected to the talent gems that need support. Color doesn’t work in it. We can use support gems with gems of any color. Auxiliary gems can affect multiple other gems.



You can also have talented gems such as split arrows and be supported by two auxiliary gems such as burning and crit. In this way, the arrows you fire will not only cause extra damage to the enemy’s heart but also have a greater chance of hitting. If you want to use the skills of these gems to their best in the path of exile, you must use them effectively, but POE Items can also help you do this.
