Using same support gem twice: sorceress exploit

[SHwoKing]

It might be already known but I think I have found an exploit with the sorceress, which may also work with the witch: it's possible with her to equip support gems on her staff and identical support gems on another skill when you usually can’t.

It works because for this class, support gems on staff basic attack are linked to a particular staff and unequipping it also unequipping its gems but doing so doesn’t put them in the inventory: they remain linked to the staff.

So, the trick is to put support gems on a staff, unequip it for another one (which also unequips the staff’s support gems), put identical support gems used with the staff on other skills and once you've done that, you can re-equip the staff and have several identical support gems at once. You MUST equip the staff using a shortcut (it's square on a PS5 controller, I haven’t tested it with a keyboard) because if you slide the staff into the hands slot, it won't work.

This is useful for optimizing DPS on both basic staff attack and another skill.

Cool. Such a needlessly arbitrary limitation deserves a workaround.
