Pinpoint Support Gem - Path of Exile

Pinpoint Support is a support gem which grants the supported spell additional projectiles, but less projectile damage. Casting the spell while standing still gathers intensity, decreasing the number of projectiles but granting more projectile damage.

Supports projectile spells you cast yourself. Cannot support triggered skills, Vaal skills, instant skills, channelling skills, skills with a reservation or which create minions, or skills used by totems, traps, or mines.

Support, Projectile, Spell. Level: 1–20. Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 140%. Requires Level 31.

Supported Spells gain Intensity when you Cast them, to a maximum of 3
Supported Skills fire 1 fewer Projectile per Intensity
Supported Spells lose 1 Intensity every 0.25 seconds while moving, or immediately if you teleport
Projectiles from Supported Skills deal 20% more Damage with Hits per Intensity
Supported Skills fire 3 additional Projectiles
Supported Skills deal (16–25)% less Projectile Damage

Pinpoint Support Build Guide

PoE 3.12 changed the Intensity mechanic to be one we can build into other skills and supports, like Crackling Lance and the new Pinpoint Support.

Pinpoint Support gives 3 additional projectiles, while each stack of Intensity will reduce the number of projectiles you fire by 1 while greatly increasing the skill’s damage. By increasing your maximum Intensity you could lose all projectiles, so this support works well with spells that can easily gain additional projectiles.
