Get Passives That Grant Reduced Reservation

Reducing the Spirit Reservation of your skills allows more Spirit for other abilities. Minion-focused builds should consider the Lord of Horrors notable passive, while Fate Finding is another option for reducing Herald skill reservations.

Spirit Resource Explained

Used for Skills with Lasting Effects

POE 2 - Arctic Armour

Spirit is a resource you allocate to activate and maintain Persistent effects such as Buffs, Auras, Summoned Minions, and Triggered Effects. Using your limited Spirit wisely and picking the right effects to have is essential to make your build even stronger.

Spirit can also be used for support gems that improve Persistent Buffs. An example of this is Precision which makes the supported Persistent Buff to also grant Accuracy for a small spirit cost.
