In Path of Exile: Necropolis, you can automate many Instant Skills and Warcries with two new Skills Gems, Automation and Call to Arms.
We are adding two new Skill Gems in 3.24 Automation and Call to Arms. These Skill Gems can be toggled on to autocast linked instant skills the moment they’re off cooldown. We've removed the capacity to bind any instant skills to left click as a result. This not only allows you to retain the same behaviour as before, but it will now autocast the skills while you are stationary. Players who use a gamepad will appreciate this one.
Call to Arms is a new Strength Skill Gem. Call to ArmsTags: Warcry, Trigger, Spell. Level: (1–20). Cooldown Time: 0.60 sec. Cast Time: Instant. Requires Level (24–70), (58–155) Str While this skill is active, a supported warcry will be repeatedly triggered, and all your warcry skills will share cooldowns.
Call to Arms SupportCost & Reservation Multiplier: 150%. Cooldown Time: 0.20 sec. Supports warcry skills. Cannot modify the skills of minions.
Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality: Supported Skills have (0–5)% increased Cooldown Recovery Rate. Place into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket. |
Call to Arms in Path of Exile is a support gem, not a direct attack skill. It empowers your warcry skills, transforming them into a continuous stream of buffs and effects. Here's a breakdown of its functionality:
Continuous Warcry Onslaught: While Call to Arms is active, any warcry skills you've linked to it will automatically trigger whenever their cooldown finishes. This essentially creates a loop of warcry effects, providing a constant stream of benefits.
Shared Cooldown Harmony: Another crucial aspect of Call to Arms is that it makes all your linked warcries share a single cooldown. This means using one warcry puts all your linked warcries on cooldown as well. However, with the constant triggering from Call to Arms, they all come back online together, creating a synchronized warcry symphony.
Reduced Cooldown Recovery: While it might seem counterintuitive due to the shared cooldown, Call to Arms also offers a slight benefit. Supported warcry skills have an 11% reduced cooldown recovery rate. This means the base cooldown of your warcries is slightly lower, allowing them to potentially trigger more frequently within the Call to Arms loop.
Who Needs Call to Arms?
This support gem is a powerful tool for builds that heavily rely on warcries for their offensive and defensive buffs. Here are some aspects to consider when incorporating Call to Arms:
