What weapon is Occult and Elemental spells tied to?

[O_o]

I see them on the skill gem tree, but it does not say what weapon they require.

Staff, sceptre and wand more likely. Like in POE 1.

Do they require a weapon though ? Like in poe 1 spells don't use weapon damage, they have their own damage per level.

I imagine it's the same in poe 2.

[O_o]

That is where I am unsure, as they said in the recent stream that skills are tied to weapons >.<

But still weapons give you spell dmg inc, elemental inc, crit chance etc. Weapon in spell build is huge case.

Yes, some weapons have build in skill, like fireball or something like that. You can you use it, but its not mandatory. Choice is yours.

The spell gems are not tied to weapons/armor slots anymore

Spells aren't really tied to a weapon, so you can use them in any situation.

They might not be tied but some weapons offer bonuses to spell casting.
