Pinpoint Support is a support gem which grants the supported spell additional projectiles, but less projectile damage. Casting the spell while standing still gathers intensity, decreasing the number of projectiles but granting more projectile damage. Supports projectile spells you cast yourself. Cannot support triggered skills, Vaal skills, instant skills, channelling skills, skills with a reservation or which create minions, or skills used by totems, traps, or mines. Support, Projectile, Spell. Level: 1–20. Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 140%. Requires Level 31.
This is a Support Gem. It does not grant a bonus to your character, but to skills in sockets connected to it. Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Active Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket.

PoE 3.12 changed the Intensity mechanic to be one we can build into other skills and supports, like Crackling Lance and the new Pinpoint Support.
Pinpoint Support gives 3 additional projectiles, while each stack of Intensity will reduce the number of projectiles you fire by 1 while greatly increasing the skill’s damage. By increasing your maximum Intensity you could lose all projectiles, so this support works well with spells that can easily gain additional projectiles.
Frostbolt fires a slow-moving projectile that pierces through enemies, dealing cold damage.
