View source for Active skill

{{#ev:twitchvod|v97697662||right|||}}
'''Active skills''', often referred to as '''skills''', are abilities actively used by [[player]]s and [[monster]]s, unlike [[passive skills]]. Active skills are typically gained by placing an [[active skill gem]] into an item [[socket]]. Some [[item]]s also grant active skills through specific item [[modifiers]].

Active skills can be augmented with [[Support Skill Gems|support skill gems]] and used automatically with the [[trigger]] mechanic.

For item modifiers such as {{c|mod|+2 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems }}from [[Unnatural Strength]], "skill gems" refers to active skill gems only. Conversely, [[support skill gems]] are referred to as "support gems" in passive skill and item mods, such as [[Catarina, Master of Undeath|Catarina]]'s {{c|craft|+# to Level of Socketed Support Gems}}.

==Obtaining active skills==

===Skill gems===
All [[active skill gem]]s grant active skills.

===Items that grant unique active skills===
<!-- The nested queries are needed so the wiki doesn't die on this.
Some of the weapons have a non-skill gem version of a skill gem skill and may need to be excluded manually -->

===Enchantment mods that grant unique active skills===
[[Labyrinth_Enchantment#Glove_enchantments|Glove Enchantments]] grant unique skills. These skills cannot be used directly, and can only be [[Trigger|triggered]].

===Corrupted mods that grant active skills===
By using a {{il|Vaal Orb}} it is possible to receive the following active skills from [[corrupted]] items:

{{Query spawnable modifiers
|where=mods.generation_type=5 AND mods.granted_skill!="" AND mods.granted_skill NOT LIKE "%Support%" AND mods.granted_skill NOT LIKE "%ReducedMana%"
|stat_text=1
|spawn_weights=1
|level=1
}}

====Legacy corrupted mods that grant skills====
The following corrupted implicit mods have been drop-disabled since [[version 3.3.0]]. Players can trade with other players in the permanent leagues to obtain an item with these [[legacy variant|legacy]] mods. It is not possible to obtain legacy items with two corrupted implicit mods, as double corruption was introduced in version 3.3 ([[Incursion league]]).
{{Modifier table
|q_tables = mod_stats, spawn_weights
|q_join = mods._pageID=mod_stats._pageID, mods._pageID=spawn_weights._pageID
|q_where = mods.generation_type=5 AND mods.granted_skill!="" AND mods.granted_skill NOT LIKE "%Support%" AND mods.granted_skill NOT LIKE "%ReducedMana%"
|q_having = SUM(spawn_weights.weight) = 0
|q_groupBy = spawn_weights._pageID
|stat_text=1
|level=1
|spawn_weights=1
}}

===Synthesis Implicts Active Skills===
Synthesis implict mods can be found on synthesis unique items, added to items by [[Harvest]] craft, or found on [[legacy variant|legacy]] items in permanent leagues.

{{Modifier table
|q_tables=mod_stats, spawn_weights
|q_join=mods._pageID=mod_stats._pageID, mods._pageID=spawn_weights._pageID
|q_where=
  mods.id LIKE "%SynthesisImplicit%" AND mods.granted_skill!="" AND mods.granted_skill NOT LIKE "%Support%" AND mods.granted_skill NOT LIKE "%ReducedMana%"
|stat_text=1
|level=1
}}
