Skill Tree for active gems

I think there should be small skill trees for active gems. Four points per 5 level that change the nature of the gem.

For example fireball could be changed to aoe and now is an explosive giant ball of fire.

Righteous Fire could lower mana and not life.

Molten strike balls could circle the player shooting small jets of flames.

Freezing pulse has a small chance to do no damage but freeze an enemy for 4 seconds including status immune bosses

Split arrow fires in a straight line (no spread) piercing all targets.

Firestorm has its damage reduced by 50% but now launches ice bolts from the air.

Raise zombies, the zombies now use dominating blow, but its duration is greatly reduced.

You get the idea.

I find the skills in path of exile to be boring. I want more variety.

Hi,

I just want to suggest skill gems Heal and Mass Heal. These would be used to heal party members. I could be wrong but I think this game might be lacking a healer class. Many people such as myself love playing supportive roles in RPG's which I think is lacking in PoE.

Hello, I just want to help maybe I'm doing something wrong.

- I have a ranged attack totem linked with split arrow in boots my bow is Null's inclication wich some minion skills SRS,zombies etc. This bow cast socketed minion spells on kill with this weapon, but doesn't work.

- I have 2 spectres from lunaris temple, they cast 1 different curse each one (enfeeble, temporal chains) They can't cast these 2 curses with my +1 curse from tree.

- I'm being playing summoner since start of poe and Spectre gem is a bit tedious, at the point that I have to forget using it with my necromancers and replace by golem, golems are more supported by GGG IMHO because not only necromancers play them. My suggestion is that Spectre gem save your last used spectre, because the bad part of this gem is that you have to travel every time they die to find new ones. Maybe there are good players that can keep their spectres alive for an entire day but the rest of us don't have that knowledge.

Sorry for my english and Thanks in advance.

I have a suggestion, though I'm pretty sure someone must have suggested something similar at some point. Anyway, what about adding a Greed curse? Curse mobs, and they drop more/rarer gear?

WHERE INCINERATE NERF TEAM? WHY HE DONT WORK WITH FLAMEBLAST?
flameblast way to STRONGER. fb have more base damage, more dmg effectiveness, more damage per stage, more damage with Ailments for each stage, more stage, flameblast have 5% crit inci have 0.they have 4 tag on gem.
GGG flameblast need hard nerf.

Cast while Channelling - would be nice if they would work on totems also.

Hi, I've been wondering for some time if we'll ever see shape-shifting gems in PoE.
Something like the werewolf or the werebear of D2.
and why not?
Rigwald is transformed into a wolf. Piety in lunaris transforms into ... something. Just as in an abomination in belly of the beast. Dominus has a transformation too.
If they can why exiles do not?
Could be part of some new series of vaal skillgems.

And since we played the theme of vaal, some vaal support would not be bad either. Support gems that only work with vaal skillgems or corrupt gems.
I do not know, they are just ideas.
I think I will start to share my ideas more often since I have many.
Greetings.

Make Spectral Throw great again!

Not overpowered but in line with the new Glacial Cascade, Frost Blades etc. GMP takes so much damage away but is needed to get good clearspeed, something needs to be buffed.

It's way too weak at the moment (Howa nerfed, ES nerfed with 3.0, I like that but ST is now a shit show).

Where are the threads for the new skill gems???

Gem lvl progression.

I'm curious about this one still that as you level your gems level with you but they still seem to surpass you. I'm on a lvl 15 Templar(20%xp) in prisoners gate and both my elemental pro and molten shell levels 5 and 4 respectively have levelled up but require level 16. It seems that the gems are possibly leveling up too fast compared to the character as it seems they should be closer. I've also got a lvl 5 molten strike and infernal blow almost ready to level up and I have a feeling they will be in the same boat?
