is Gem Studded bugged?

[Laenthal]

Same two spirit reservation support gems on two different active spirit reservation persistent skills do not stack, is this a known to be fixed bug or a feature?

You cannot use the same support gem on two different skills, that includes spirit skills. Only gemling ascendancy can do this if you spec that ascendancy point.

Edit: My bad, didn't read title properly lol. I am unsure if this is intentional or not.

And that is exactly what he's talking about (it's called Gem Studded).
I would assume it's a bug / non-intentional interaction, as it's a rather niche case. The intent was probably that you can use stuff like lightning-infused or scattershot on two active skills, not double up on an persistent buff through spirit gem supports. IMHO it should stack, as it's an ascendancy bonus and they are supposed to be strong, and having for example 2% life reg instead of 1 for using two vitalities doesn't seem broken to me, since you can only use 1 support gem twice.

In PoE 1 support gems of the same name wouldn't stack, if they keep that logic, it'd be intentional, even if it's "applied" through different "active" gems.

you can't get the same active buff twice.

And the question is if that's intentional, since the buff comes from a support gem, which you normally can only equip once. But one of the Gemling special ascendancy bonuses is that you CAN wear ONE support gem twice. So why shouldn't it work in that special case, for that special ascendancy bonus?

You are right, my bad, I completely glossed over the title and didn't check what gem studded is. Oops.
