Build Guide
The ~"38% more" stat is a unique multiplier that applies to the base cap of a minion skill. Because Path of Exile typically rounds down, hitting specific levels is critical for extra "bodies":
Low-Cap Minions: This is most effective for minions with low natural limits, such as Herald of Purity or Holy Relic. For example, a build with 4 max minions would jump to 6 (a 50% increase in actual minions).
Leveling Scaling: At Level 4 (achievable through corruption or Enhance Support), the multiplier is expected to reach 40%, which serves as a clean breakpoint for many builds.
Dark Monarch Interaction. Maximum number of "random minion type" is Doubled. Early testing shows this gem scales particularly well with the Dark Monarch unique, potentially allowing for setups with over 28 Golems.
Over 40 New Exceptional Support Gems
Upon defeating the Endgame Incarnation bosses in Path of Exile: Mirage, powerful new Support Gems will begin dropping from specific Atlas Bosses. These new Support gems are categorised as Exceptional, being a significant expansion of that class of Support gem.
Exceptional Support Gems are more transformative, offering an additional way to customise your build in the late game and extending character customisation even further into a build’s life.
