🏹

Attack Support

Best paired with attack-based skills. Your weapon's base damage directly scales the benefit of this support.

🌈

Elemental Specialization

Only benefits fire skills. Worthless for other elements — make sure your main skill matches.

📊

Gem Level Priority

Support gem level often provides bigger DPS gains than you'd expect. +1 gem level gear is excellent value.
