PoE2DB, Path of Exile Wiki

# Gems

Tier information was added to the skills on the poe2db website. Tier will require the corresponding Uncut Gem Level to unlock. Tier will also affect the Skill Gem/Spirit Gem minimum required level. Class within Tier is a source, not limit. Most gems without Tier information have been removed at the start of Early Access.

Path of Exile 2 features 300 Skill Gems that grant devastating active skills and 200 Support Gems that modify their behaviour. Combine these together to create your perfect build.

This is the next generation of Path of Exile's famous skill system. [Support Gems](Support_Gems) are now socketed directly into [Skill Gems](Skill_Gems), removing many of the frustrations present in the old system while maintaining all the previous depth. It's now possible to six-link every skill your character uses.

Skill Gems
* Characters start with 9 Skill gem sockets. 
* "Effectiveness of Added Damage" has also been removed
* Skill gems have their own sockets, always have 2 gem sockets by default.

## Uncut Skill Gem

* Uncut Gem Level can unlock Gem below the same level Gem Tier.

* [[Uncut Support Gem]] are 1/2/3 Levels.
* [[Uncut Spirit Gem]] are 4/8/14 Levels.

Players can find "Uncut Skill Gem" which can be crafted into a skill gem in the Gemcutting menu. Skills in the Gemcutting menu are categorized by each of the 12 character classes, but are not class-locked; any skill of appropriate level can be crafted on any character. The resulting gem's level will be scaled relative to its item level.

Uncut Gems can be turned into specific gems via the Gemcutting menu. Skills are not locked by class and are only sorted by theme per class.

## New Skills

Many skills have in-built dynamic movement to close gaps if targeting far away or move away from enemies for some charge-up skills, and can change directions mid-skill (longer animations can turn further).

Extra skill options and shift-attack behaviours, as well as targeting options

Skills will mostly be limited to a single type of weapon.

* Brands somewhat merged with Totems
* Mines and traps are no longer spells or attacks and instead a separate damage type. They also are a separate weapon type with different detonation types (proximity, manual, etc)
* Wand skills now are spells (as wands do not have attack stats)

## Raise Spectre

Though now the gem functions kind of like a pokeball, where you [[Bind Spectre]] to the gem once and then it will permanently summon that spectre when used, reserved Spirit, rather than having to stress about corpses all the time.

* Faridun Impaler: 120 Spirit
* Winged Fiend: 40 Spirit
