GGG has added three new Support Gems in patch 3.21. These Support Gems are all given out in Act One, and supplement the early game of some archetypes as well as introducing players to interesting Path of Exile mechanics early on, such as gems triggering other gems, in a relatively simple manner.
For most non-channelling attacks, attack speed is calculated only once when you start the attack. Since using the attack always grants 1 Momentum, the attack accounts for the momentum it's generating, and will benefit from that Momentum, so the first attack will have the attack speed for 1 Momentum (the one it generates), rather than 0. The attack which brings you to maximum Momentum will benefit from that maximum amount of Momentum, despite it being lost immediately to grant Swiftness. Because it's accounting for the momentum it's going to generate, you'll see this reflected in the attack time of the skill when the gem is socketed, before using it.
Channelling attacks do dynamically update attack speed during their use, so initially work out to basically the same result in that when you use them you'll immediately gain 1 Momentum and the attack will update it's speed to account for that Momentum, so you'll start out with attack speed equivalent to 1 Momentum rather than 0, just like the non-channelling case. But the attack speed will continue to update while you channel as Momentum is gained and lost, so as you gain additional Momentum based on how long you channel for the skill will speed up, but when you reach maximum and lose it all, the skill will slow down, so you don't get to benefit from the maximum amount for any length of time, since you never get to keep maximum Momentum.
The Momentum Support Gem replaces the Onslaught Support Gem and gives you a momentary speed boost that's great for going fast in the early acts.
