I got a question about the support gem "Endurance charge on melee stun",
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place, I didn't find the specific thread about this gem. So I got it linked with leap slam and stun, and when I leapslam in a whole pack of lower life creatures, I stun a whole lot more then 1 creature, yet I only get 1 charge out of the attack. I was wondering weather this is intentional or not? I get that with the skill power charge on crit, you only get 1 power charge when you crit a whole bunch, because its 1 attack that crits, but it seems more logical to me to get a endurance charge for each stunned monster. If this was the intent of the skill, I don't think alot of people will use it as it'll be much better to link a dmg dealing gem with it instead. Sorry if this isn't the right spot, or if this was reported before. Cheers |

First off, Support gems have their own section on the forum: that's why you couldn't find it here :) It's alright though.
The EC on Stun gem is a binary check, in an IF/THEN format: IF you Stun a monster with the linked Skill THEN you get an Endurance Charge. If you stun five monsters with one Leap, you simply get five yesses to the same question, which still only has one answer :) EC on Stun, just like almost everything else in Path of Exile, synergises much better with faster attacks. However, it will still permanently keep your Charges up during a fight, which can be pretty handy. Open up with a Cry for the first few Charges, and the rest will come through Leaping. Even if you hit your cap, Leap Slam will simply refresh the duration over and over. No need to Cry more than just the one time. I think it's pretty okay. Damage is awesome too, though, so yeah. Tradeoffs. | |

My question is do gems get bonus experience from wearing items such as

" Yes, gems will level 0.3% faster. Sauce:

3% of 10% is 0.3%.
The chance to Vaal +1% maximum resists on an amulet is less than 1/300.

Gems gain 10% of the Exp you'd gain; they do not gain 10% of the Increased Exp Gain you gain. That's something else entirely. :/
If they benefit (which is very likely), they will benefit fully. | |

Dear GGG!
As someone who likes lightning spells in games, I was highly dissapointed in lightning skills you gave to players after the game release. It was fine during the beta... because you know.. beta. But honestly, I find the current lightning gems... not particularly interesting. Maybe it's just me, i don't know. But when I saw what spells Piety uses in Act 3, I thought to myself: "That's what they should've given me!" Lightning ball traveling through enemies zapping them with sparks like BFG9000? I want that! Lightning charges strike from the sky with neat effects? Hell yeah! My point is - the current selection of lightning gems avaliable is too shallow to make an interesting build. Atleast for me. Well yeah, I could make "spork", like everyone else does... But that's BORING! I want to rain destruction upon my enemies with thunder and lightning! Fire gems feels nice in that regard. Cold gems as well. Lighning? Meh... I would be really happy to see more variety of lighning spells in the future. P.S. That's all just my opinion, so I hope people won't go apeshit on my post :) | |
" I would have to agree, I think that spells in general need some love. I generally do not play spell casters because it gets old after a while..Just my opinion. There are some ideas that would make spell casting more interesting. I may be stealing these ideas from other games but still I they would be fun. 1. Ignite Blood. fire magic spell that instantly ignites someone and causes increaed fire damage from spells on inflicted targets. 2. Hail Storm. Ice version of fire storm. 3. Freeze Explosion. A CC Skill that will instantly freeze anyone in a close proximity( should have cooldown) like freeze mine. 4. Sleep....I think you know what this means 5. Lightning Storm. channels a storm zapping any target in targeted area. 6. A poison curse that removes a percentage of HP(Could be OP but I still think it would be cool. 7. I think exploding corpse should be an Int Skill, and more powerful. 8. a spell that uses all three elements in an attack...other than overcharge. ------------ Now I believe that POE is awesome, and will keep play, but I currently play melee classes, and there are just ideas to make me excited to play as a spell caster. What do you think about these Skills...please be nice...Just some ideas :) | |

lightning storm is already ingame.....piety has that spell.
but there is stil no gem. |
