Are Lineage Support Gems too rare—or are players just expecting them too quickly?

In Episode 50 of The Path 2 Exile Podcast, we're joined by @anime.princess to discuss one of the hottest topics in Patch 0.5: the rarity of Lineage Support Gems. We also dive into Runeforging, Jewels, Gemling Legionnaire, gem level scaling, leech, crafting, and what actually makes a good build in Path of Exile 2.

Along the way, we share stories from our own league experiences, discuss the current farming meta, and compare POE 2's systems to other ARPGs.

📌 Topics Discussed:

• How we got their names
• animeprincess' thoughts on Patch 0.5
• The Endless Voices grind
• Fun build stories from the league
• Runeforging items — pros & cons
• Our biggest rookie mistakes and unfortunate moments
• Are Lineage Support Gems too rare?
• Augment crafting discussion
• Are Jewels becoming too strong?
• Is Gemling Legionnaire overtuned?
• Has gem level scaling improved?
• Torchlight Infinite's crafting system
• Was leech nerfed too hard?
