Fortify Support

This page is about the support gem. For the buff, see Fortify.

Fortify is a support gem. It causes the linked melee skills to apply the Fortify buff on the user, which reduces incoming damage from hits by 20%. This effect only applies to active melee skills and does not work with trigger gems.
