Path of Exile 2 Skill Introduction, New Players Come in

In Path of Exile 2, skills are divided into three parts: active skills, auxiliary skills, and spirit skills. All skills have wearing requirements, some require character level, some require specific equipment, and some require attribute values. You can click on the corresponding skill details to see the specific.

Most curse skills and mark skills can be cast unarmed, but they also require character level and attribute values.

When choosing skills, we should also look at the skill tags (skill keyword introduction), which can help us more quickly understand whether the skill is suitable for our school. Let's take a look at these three types of skills!

Active Skills

Casting requirements: Need to be manually cast, or passively triggered.

Skill classification: Usually mainly damage skills, subdivided into curse skills, mark skills, and buff skills. Curse skills are used to release curses and debuff enemies; while buff skills are to buff yourself.

Unlocking conditions: Skills are unlocked at level 1-level 3-level 5-level 7-level 9-level 11-level 13. Whenever a skill gem of a new level is dropped from a mission or map, prioritize the skills you don't have, and then upgrade the skills that are most useful to you first.

Auxiliary Skills

Function: Assist active or spirit skills, enhance the effects of active or spirit skills.

Number of wearables: Active skills have two holes by default, and you can use craftsman stones to drill holes for active and spirit skills to increase the slots for auxiliary skills. Low-level craftsman stones can add 1 hole, high-level craftsman stones add 2 holes, and perfect craftsman stones add 3 holes. The more holes, the more auxiliary gems can be inlaid, and the greater the improvement.

Unlocking conditions: In the early stage, we will obtain 1-3 level auxiliary gems in sequence according to the progress of the plot. Unlocking auxiliary skills also requires corresponding levels.

Spirit Skills

Casting requirements: Spirit skills need to retain the spirit to take effect, and spirit skills are passively cast.

Sustainability advantages: Spirit skills have very powerful effects. Basically, spirit skills have the advantage of sustainability, and you don't have to operate them all the time. Different spirit skills require different numbers of spirits to be retained. For details, please check the corresponding spirit gems.

Effects: Different spirit skills have different effects. Some are used on enemies, some are used on yourself, and some are used on teammates.

Spirit gems are powerful and are also the most difficult to obtain in the game. Therefore, you should be careful when choosing spirit skills in the early stage.

Unlocking conditions: Spirit skills are also divided into 3 levels, and skills are unlocked at levels 4-8-14.
