Unlike standard support gems obtainable through the campaign, Lineage Support Gems are rare, endgame-focused treasures that act like unique items for skills, offering radical effects that can completely reshape how players engage with their abilities.
Complementing the new additions, the PoE 2 0.4.0 patch delivers extensive rebalancing to the existing Lineage Support Gems. For example, Atalui's Bloodletting Lineage Support now grants 2% extra Physical damage per 20 Life cost (previously per 10 life cost), up to 40%, and no longer has a cost multiplier. This balance pass isn’t limited to lineage variants either: nearly all Ascendancy classes, 90 active skills spanning every class, and dozens of Unique items have been adjusted in tandem. With the new and reworked Lineage support gems, combined with over 250 new passive skills to synergize with, players will find unprecedented freedom to craft builds that blend raw power with creative mechanics when they dive into the Vaal-themed endgame of Fate of the Vaal.
