{

Melee totems sucked in PoE 1 because it's so hard to keep them alive without investing in totem stats, aside from the combat that is way too fast for players to effectively stop attacking to raise a totem, but in PoE 2 players will be encouraged to use multi-skill combos so raising a totem there won't feel the same as doing it in PoE 1.",

Will they move around a bunch of skills?\n\n2. This UI doesnt look like it will support adding new skills so easily.

You could for instance have a good weapon for cold skills and a weapon for fire skills and then configure to use a fire skill with the fire weapon and cold skill with cold weapon, but it doesnt mean the cold skill could *only* be used with this type of weapon. \n\nThese are 2 separate systems."

{
"body": "I think it drops uncut skill gem, which you can turn into any skill regardless of color, and uncut support gem, which you can turn into any support gem \n\nBut I think they’re level based, you can only unlock a skill if you’re high enough level, and I think support gems are unlocked by default \n\nAlso socket colors were removed",

"body": "You get uncut skill gems as drops or quest rewards. They’re these grey blocky gens. You click on the uncut gem and you can choose what skill you want to turn it into from this menu, from any weapon or spell type.\n\nThe uncut gem has a level and a tier. Level is just what level the skill gem will be. So if you find lvl 13 uncut gem, you get lvl 13 skill without needing to level it up yourself from 1.\n\nTier determines which skills you can get. On the picture you see the different rows of skills are the tiers with higher tiers at the bottom. If you get a tier 3 uncut gem, you can only make it into skills in tier 3 or below. For a skill in a higher tier, you need to find a higher tier uncut gem.",
