New Lineage gems are needed in 0.5.0 for more build diversity options.

Playing already 3 different classes i quickly realised that support gems are important for build diversity options but many Skills and especially Buff skills are lacking gem support and sometimes spirit cost makes conditions even worse. Lineage gems are mostly with no cost and despite the restrictive use are preferred.

So I'm suggesting some new Lineage implementations about:

1) Build up support ( Stunn, Freeze, Pin etc).

2) Conditional damage support ( Low/Full life,Presence,Burned,Frozen,Cursed etc)

3) Some Lineage support for more Pet support or new coming minions/Companions for restrictive time use.

4) Generally Time duration support (Skill effect duration, Cooldown recovery, Ailments time duration).

5) And lastly some flat benefits ( Life,Mana,ES,Armour,Dext,Strength points,etc) that will absorb unused spirit points for getting the bonus.

+1 I'm counting on this. Im very disappointed about build diversity in poe2 despite the big number of support gems and Lineage becouse they are to restrictive in use. So you can't actually use them as you like and redirects you where it is allowed.

Yeah, many are useless because they are so specific.

Some things are extremely weird like breach unique tablet vs abyss unique tablets. One is worse than normal tablets, the other one is insane.

Many items (like lineage gems/uniques) have so many downsides that they are useless...
These are all pretty solid launching pads for stuff I'd like to see Lineage Supports for (in some form), except maybe #5.

Poison/Bleed could maybe use some additional/revisional love too.
Don't get lost by being so focused on the target that you forget to enjoy your surroundings.
