# Skill Gems Description Level Tag
1 Exsanguinate Exsanguinate Releases several tendrils of blood from your character, targeting enemies in a narrow angle in front of you.

Effects which allow skills to chain can apply to these tendrils. 12 Spell, Chaining, Physical, Duration
2 Static Strike Static Strike Attack with a melee weapon, gaining static energy for a duration if you hit an enemy. While you have static energy, you'll frequently hit a number of nearby enemies with beams, dealing attack damage. 12 Attack, Melee, Strike, AoE, Duration, Lightning, Chaining
3 Wild Strike Wild Strike Your melee weapon strikes enemies, converting physical damage to a random element. Then, depending on the element chosen, it releases a fiery explosion, an arcing bolt of lightning, or an icy wave. It will avoid choosing the same element twice in a row. 28 Attack, Melee, Strike, Lightning, Cold, Fire, Projectile, AoE, Chaining, Prismatic
4 Rolling Magma Rolling Magma Lob a fiery orb that explodes as it hits the ground. The skill chains, releasing another fiery orb that repeats this effect. 1 Spell, AoE, Fire, Projectile, Chaining
5 Orb of Storms Orb of Storms Creates a stationary electrical orb that frequently unleashes a splitting bolt of lightning at a nearby enemy. Modifiers to cast speed will increase how frequently it does this. Using a lightning skill while inside the orb's cloud unleashes additional bolts. Casting this skill again will replace the previous orb. 4 Lightning, Spell, Duration, AoE, Chaining, Orb
6 Vaal Arc Arc An arc of lightning stretches from the caster to a targeted enemy and chains on to other nearby enemies. Each time the main beam chains it will also chain to a second enemy, but that secondary arc cannot chain further. 12 Spell, Chaining, Lightning

8 Vaal Arc Vaal Arc A shocking arc of lightning stretches from the caster to a targeted enemy and chains to other nearby enemies.

Also grants a buff making you lucky when damaging enemies with Arc for a short duration. 12 Vaal, Spell, Chaining, Lightning, Duration
9 Tempest Shield Tempest Shield Enchants your shield with the power of storms, which lashes out to deal arcing lightning damage to attackers when you block them. 16 Spell, Lightning, Chaining
10 Dark Pact Dark Pact This spell removes some life from one of your Skeleton minions near you or the targeted location to deal chaos damage in an area around it.

Chain Support

Chain Support Chain Support is a support gem that causes any projectiles created by the linked skill to chain when they hit an enemy. When this happens, the projectile targets another enemy in range and changes direction to fly towards second enemy. It will continue to chain until all the chains are used up. This gem adds 2 to the number of times a projectile can chain.

The gem also works with non-projectile skills that can chain, which are currently Orb of Storms, Dark Pact, Tempest Shield, Wild Strike, Arc, Exsanguinate, and Vaal Arc.

Supports projectile skills, and any other skills that chain.

Support, Chaining, Projectile. Level: 1–20. Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 150%. Requires Level 38.
