To use the skill, assign it to a button on the hotbar. Either drag the skill or manually input it by pressing the hotbar on the bottom right and clicking its icon.

How to Get Gem Slots on Equipment Skills

Gain Slots by Leveling Up

The Equipment Skill will have 2 Support Gem slots available from the start. You can enhance the effects of your Equipment Skills by slotting Support Gems with matching tags to make them more effective.

As you progress further in the game additional Support Gem slots will become available with the fifth slot opening at level 90.
