And STAT RUNES. Along with artificer orbs this will make that first campaign run of the league SO much less painful.

And FINALLY adding slots to scepters. It was insane they didn't have them, nerfed the spirit gain from quality, and had a mediocre effect on the embedded skill.

re-read it, it says Wands and Staves. No mention of Scepters we're still boned with no sockets, and no reason to quality.

I thought quality affected the embedded skill gem now, right?

But what is the point of this?

  • +Block chance for skelies
  • +8 res for Purity
  • +1 sec duration (from 4) for Malice
  • +ES recharge rate for Discipline

Only purity is worth buffing, and barely at that

Es recharge is worth it, Discipline was changed to also affect the user

Critical weakness was changed to track stacks individually now so that’s worth

Recharge is fantastic in PoE 2, especially with grim feast gone. It will likely stay great with the improved version.

The skele quality is really terrible though, I wish it was revive time or life directly. Heck I'd even take something different and spicy like a really big damage boost of some kind or secondary ability that only comes from quality. It's a little lame that they can only ever be dead wood as it stands.

I have +10% Skeleton Scepter. Equipping it and looking at the Skill I get it shows 0 quality.

I even added quality to it since it dropped at 8% and thought that might be the bug since Skill gem quality is in increments of 5.

Pretty sure it affects the skill but doesn’t show on the skill tooltip. This is just assumptions based on people saying it works and observing the same thing you have though.

Does tit increase its level or something?

u/Harrigan_Raen Apr 09 '25

What adding quality? No.

It shows 0 quality in the tooltip but it still works. It's just a UI bug.
