The Coming Calamity Support Gem Issue

The Coming Calamity Support Gem Issue
Summary of the Problem

Players are experiencing significant issues when trying to use support gems with the herald skills granted by The Coming Calamity Heroic Armour in Path of Exile 2. The main problems reported include:

Inability to socket support gems into the heralds provided by the armour, with the game stating "support gem does not work with this skill".

Attribute requirements may prevent support gems from being socketed or functioning correctly, even if the herald skill is active.

Attempting to socket certain support gems (e.g., into Herald of Ice) can cause the game to crash instantly.

Support gems may disappear or duplicate, and sometimes the entire armour piece vanishes temporarily when entering a map or portal.

Logging out and back in may restore the armour, but missing support gems are often permanently lost.

Possible Causes
Attribute Requirements: Not meeting the attribute requirements for a support gem can prevent it from being used, even if the herald skill appears active.

Game Bugs: There are widespread bugs affecting both the herald skills and support gems, leading to crashes, item disappearance, and gem loss.

Developer Status
As of April 2025, these issues appear to be unresolved and are causing significant frustration in the community. Players are advised to exercise caution when using The Coming Calamity with support gems, and to report any bugs to the official forums.

Workarounds
Ensure all attribute requirements for support gems are met before socketing them.

If items or gems disappear, try restarting the game to recover missing items, though lost support gems may not return.

Avoid socketing support gems into heralds if you encounter crashes or item loss, until a fix is released.

Additional Notes
The Coming Calamity is intended to allow heralds to be linked to support gems without increasing their reservation cost, but current bugs are preventing this from functioning as intended in Path of Exile 2
