Persistent is a Skill Tag in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). Read on to learn what skills and gems that have the Persistent tag, and what Persistent is!
List of Contents
Persistent skills are toggled in the skills panel instead of being used normally and often need to reserve spirit in order to be activated.
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
 Temporal Rift |
Passively leaves afterimages of your recent past. Cast the Spell to return to the oldest afterimage, teleporting to that location and resetting your Life, Mana and Energy Shield to the values they had at the time. |
 Life Remnants |
Drinks the blood of your enemies to restore your Life. While active, enemies you kill have a chance to spawn a Life Remnant, and Critically Hitting a target spawns a Life Remnant every few seconds. Picking up a Life Remnant grants you Life which can Overflow maximum Life. |
 Demon Form |
Shapeshift into a demon, vastly boosting the power of your Spells. You gain Demonflame every second you remain in demon form, causing your Life to be lost at an ever-increasing rate. Revert to human form if you reach 1 Life, use a Skill that isn't a Spell, or reactivate this Skill. |
 Summon Infernal Hound |
Summons a Reviving Infernal Hound which Ignites enemies near it. The Hound takes a portion of damage from Hits for you. |
 Sorcery Ward |
Passively manifests a protective barrier which takes Elemental Damage from Hits for you until depleted. The barrier instantly recharges to its full value a short time after it stops taking damage or is fully depleted. |
