There are a lot of support gems available inPath of Exile 2.

Here, we are going to take a look at the best support gems out there.

8Arcane Tempo

First up, we have Arcane Tempo.

Path of Exile 2 Infernalist Class

With Arcane Tempo socketed into a skill, cast time will be increased by 25 percent.

This is perfect if you favor a skill that has a relatively long cast time.

The cast speed boost is definitely noticeable once you socket it into a skill.

7Unleash

Unleash is a support gem that has several effects.

Path of Exile 2 has finally launched, but is it worth playing?

Finally, the supported skill will deal 50 percent less damage when reoccurring.

So, what does all of this mean?

Visually, it will look like you are casting the skill two times in quick succession when using it.

For example, if you shoot out a fiery projectile, two will be fired.

This, of course, is helpful for skills that you use frequently, especially those with numerous projectiles.

Each gem here will increase the level of the supported skill by one.

For example, the Chaos Mastery will provide one level to the supported Chaos skill.

Essentially, this makes the supported skill a little bit better.

When combined with other support gems, these can really pack a punch.

5Infusion Support Gems

Continuing with broader gem types, we have Infusion support gems.

There are five of the game, which you’re free to find below.

This balance includes fire, lighting, and cold.

Cold Infusion will deal more cold damage and less fire/lightning damage.

Chaos Infusion works slightly differently.

Overall, these gems are great if a supported skill deals with just one bang out of elemental damage.

Remember, support gems only apply to the skill that it is socketed to.

This won’t increase or decrease your elemental damage for every skill that you use.

Jagged Ground is an effect that slows enemies in the area by 20 percent.

This skill is great for melee builds, especially since it only supports Slam skills.

Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4 are both fantastic games, but which takes the win?

Slam skills are a pop in of melee attack that causes an AoE of damage on the ground.

This is still considered melee damage, but you don’t actually hit enemies with your weapon directly.

3Conduction

Next up, we have Conduction.

This support gem has a simple description; it will increase your chances to shock by 100 percent.

This supports skills that hit enemies directly.

A player looking at the brutality support gem.

When shocked, enemies will take more damage for a short period of time.

Conduction comes in handy in a wide range of scenarios.

Don’t underestimate the power of lightning damage!

2Brutality

Brutality is a good choice for those of you who deal physical damage.

With this support gem, you’ll be able to increase your physical damage by 35 percent.

Of course, there is a downside; the supported skill will deal no chaos or elemental damage.

Use this wisely though, as there are other support gems that add chaos/elemental damage to your skills.

You don’t want to accidentally cancel out any support gems that you have equipped.

1Wildshards

Last but not least, we have Wildshards.

Path of Exile 2 Cover

This supports skills that fire projectiles, which is quite a lot.

With Wildshards, you’ll have a 20 percent chance to fire eight more projectiles in a circle.

It should go without saying, but this is incredibly helpful.

The Player Facing An Optional Boss

Wildshards is quite versatile, since many classes use some sort of projectile.
