Intensify Support

Intensify Support is a Support gem which causes the supported Spell to have an increased area of effect. Consecutive casts will have less area of effect and deal more area damage per intensity stack.

Skill functions and interactions

Gaining/Losing Stacks
- Each cast of the supported spell adds one intensity stack
- Using a movement skill removes one intensity stack
- Moving will remove intensity stacks at a rate of 1 stack every 0.25 seconds by default
- Stacks do not expire while standing still
Tips
- Setting the supported active skill to Always Attack Without Moving can help avoid loss of stacks due to accidental movement
- Maximum intensity can be increased by one stack by allocating the notable passive skill Intensity
