PoE Behead Support Skill

The new Behead Support Behead Support gem can only support Strike skills and is basically like a mini-Headhunter Headhunter. When a supported Strike kills a rare enemy, you’ll steal one of its modifiers.

Obviously this gem can’t be as crazy as the full Headhunter Headhunter experience, so it comes with some restrictions. Stolen modifiers only persist for 20 seconds and slaying another rare enemy will replace the modifier you have active.

The Behead Support Behead Support gem also grants you more damage against enemies on low life. In conjunction with the Slayer’s Bane of Legends ascendancy passive, this bonus really embraces the execution theme of the Behead Support Behead Support.

Interactions

When used with Dominating Blow, minions are capable of stealing modifiers, potentially increasing map clear speed depending on number of rares available to cull and which mods are stolen. However damage bonus is only applied on low life enemies meaning until the enemy is on low life, the supported skill is essentially 5 link with a 6 link cost.

Item acquisition

Behead Support can drop anywhere. Drop level: 38.
