MASSIVE bug discovered effecting seemingly MOST or ALL support gems

Found major major major bug

There's several support gems I've found so far that are actually turning off abilities even though it's NOT SHOWING YOU it's turning them off in tooltip and in MANY cases the ability still APPEARS to actually work even though they actually don't. They're using more spirit than they advertise and more spirit than it deducts from your spirit bar. This is the cause and have confirmed it with gear swapping to an amulet that has ONLY spirit.

I made a video of it showing it's effect in 1 way, but it's actually effecting presumably ALL support gems that use spirit, and in many cases, your spirit abilities might look like they're working, but are actually doing nothing at all.

Check your spirit abilities and make sure they're actually working!! Sadly, visual confirmation isn't enough. Neither is the tooltip telling you the ability is active.

My understanding is that only a few skills are affected by this, though I haven't tested them all.
That doesn't make it any less of an issue, especially since one of them is the Infernalist's Demon Form--just pointing out that this isn't something you should have to check EVERY spirit ability for.

Demon Form and Temporal Rift cost nothing to have passive/available, and grant a skill to activate their effect. Seems to cost nothing for Temporal Rift, and some Mana for Demon Form.

It looks like adding support gems that cause these skills to reserve Spirit adds that reservation both to having the skill passive/available, AND to pressing the keybind to activate them. This results in needing unreserved Spirit equal to the to the amount they reserve in order to activate them.



Until there's a fix for this, you should avoid adding Spirit costs to these two skills, and double check for any other persistant skills with an active skill component.

I've had some time to think about what you're saying but that doesn't fit here as per the demonstration in the video. I put a gem in that requires 15, and still have 15+ left afterwards, and it still does it. If it was just doubled, it still would have worked. It was only when i obtained an obsessive overage by equipping the amulet that the problem subsided. Obviously there's going to be a value where it goes from not working to working, but if it was exactly what you're saying, the number would be 15, in which case I show is not it.

In the video, when it works without the amulet or Mysticism, you have Temporal Rift socketed with Clarity.
With 10 Spirit reservation and 30 free spirit, you were able to activate it.

Then, you socketed Mysticism, increasing the reservation by 15.
With 25 Spirit reservation and 15 free spirit, you were not able to activate it.
