Iron Grip Support

Iron Grip Support is a Support gem. When this gem is linked to a skill gem, the user is treated as if they have the Iron Grip keystone when determining the damage done by the linked skill.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Since this gem applies the same effect as the Iron Grip, these effects do not stack. The strength bonus only applies once if both the keystone and the gem are used together.

The damage bonus of strength normally applies only to Melee Physical Damage. This gem causes strength's physical damage bonus to also apply to projectile attacks made with the supported skills. Only physical damage dealt by the projectile will be increased. The bonus from strength will be +1% increased Projectile Attack Physical Damage for every five points of strength.
