Persistent is used to describe buffs or effects that remain active indefinitely until they are manually deactivated or the required resource is depleted. These often take the form of auras or sustained buffs, which continuously consume a portion of Spirit to remain active. Unlike temporary buffs (which may have a duration and cooldown), persistent buffs are ongoing and do not expire as long as their conditions are maintained.
For instance, skills like Arctic Armour create effects that continuously grant defensive benefits. Persistent Minions, such as Skeletal Warrior, also use Spirit to stay active, respawning automatically after death.
Activating Persistent Skills
Persistent skills cannot be added to the skill bar but can be toggled on and off in the Skills panel.
- Learn the desired persistent skill by cutting an appropriate level uncut skill gem
- Add the learned skill to a slot within the skills panel
- Still within the skills panel, right-click the desired persistent skill icon (in the row next to the skill name) to activate or de-activate the skill
Spirit Requirements
- You must have enough free spirit to activate the persistent skill. Hovering over the persistent skill gem will indicate how much spirit is required.
- Adding support gems to the skill will add additional spirit requirement amount. You must have the full amount of spirit available, or the persistent skill cannot be activated. If you have only enough spirit to cover the requirement for the persistent skill but not the support gem, then you must remove the support gem to allow the persistent skill to be activated.
