Concentrated Effect Support

Supports any skill with an area of effect, regardless of whether that skill deals damage.

POEXPLORER FIELD NOTE

How to think about it

This exchanges area coverage for stronger area damage. Check the skill's actual overlap, targeting, and encounter movement; a smaller area can erase the paper gain when hits stop connecting.

COMPATIBILITY METHOD

What it can support

PoExplorer accepts a match only when this support's allowed types intersect the active skill's source types, none of its exclusions conflict, and any gem-only restriction is satisfied.
