Arcanist Brand

Arcanist Brand is an active skill gem that turns a linked spell into a trigger skill. The brand periodically triggers all linked spells in a sequence while being attached to an enemy.

Skill functions and interactions

• The gem consists of two components: a skill part Arcanist Brand and a support part Arcanist Brand Support. However, it does not have the Support gem tag. It is one of the few active-skill/support hybrid gems. Other examples of this are; item skill , or skill gems such as , , , , etc..
• Channelling Spells: Even though it's not mentioned in the gem's description, linking a channelling spell won't cause it to be activated by this skill.
• Arcanist Brand's base cast speed determines how long it takes to cast the brand itself. The activation frequency is how often the brand triggers linked spells. Both of these are increased by cast speed modifiers.
• Targeting - Arcanist Brand auto-targets enemies with precision. For skills that can be hard to aim close to enemies like , this will get corpses close to enemies.
• Arcanist Brand will cast all linked spells in a sequence, until its duration runs out. This can allow the character to apply multiple spells with one cast, assuming the brand has enough duration.
• Trigger: Attempting to support Arcanist Brand in linked to other spells will cancel both out, making Arcanist Brand unlinked to any spell, and lock the spells in , making them untriggerable. This is an action similar to attempting supporting a spell with multiple trigger mechanics, such as , or other trigger supports or triggering items, such as or .
