Meta
(Redirected from Meta gem)
Meta Gems
Tooltip
Meta Gems are Skill Gems that can use, Trigger, or otherwise apply the effects of other Skill Gems. Skill Gems and Support Gems can be socketed into them interchangeably, though most Meta Gems require at least one Skill Gem to be socketed to function.
Meta skills are those that allow you to socket other active skills as support gems. Meta gems are usually always trigger skills or create an aura-like effect.
Mechanics
Support gems socketed in a meta gem will support the meta gem and any other compatible socketed skill gems.
Energy
Main page: Energy
Most meta gems generate and use Energy, a counter that balances the frequency of triggering the skill based on its use time. The rate that Energy is obtained may be influenced by enemy Power, a stat dependent on the enemy's rarity.
