The Siege of the Atlas expansion is bringing so many new items to Path of Exile that it'southward easy to miss a few of them. But it's a pretty big deal any time Grinding Gear Games adds new gems to the game. This time, all the new gems are Support gems. Here are all three gems arriving with Siege of the Atlas, and a few thoughts on each. Remember that the example images are all of level 20 gems with 20% quality, and so exact values will vary per gem.

Divine Blessing (force/intelligence)

Divine Blessing is a catchy 1 to evaluate. The core mechanic has interesting implications, potentially giving players the selection to add another aura to their builds by instead casting them every 10 seconds or so. Simply, most endgame builds already reserve enough mana that in that location may not be plenty left over to cast a supported skill at the penalty of 233 extra mana.

Eternal Blessing (strength)

On the other terminate of the spectrum, in many ways, Eternal Blessing limits you to just a unmarried aura while reducing its cost to zero. This could be an interesting manner to encourage more than builds to manage mana more actively, rather than stacking mana reservation until they're simply left with a modest sliver.

Mark on Hit (dexterity)

While the convenience of not having to cast marks manually is a nice benefit, We're not sure if Mark on Hit volition run across also much use in its current form. Triggering on attacks means that this won't utilize to spellcasters. That, combined with the tripled (!) mana price of the supported skill, makes this a tough gem to justify for builds that tend to accept lower mana pools.
