Exemplar Support Build Guide

• Support Target: It supports Minion skills.
• Primary Benefit: Your minions gain increased Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Multiplier.
• Trigger Condition: The magnitude of these bonuses is based on each of your own recent Critical Strikes.

This gem is best suited for Minion Critical Strike builds (e.g., Carrion Golems, Summon Raging Spirits, or any minion using Spirit Offering).

Since the bonus depends on your attacks, this gem is less effective in "pure" minion builds where the player stands still. It excels in "Battlemage" style archetypes where the player is actively diving into combat alongside their summons.

Exemplar Support transforms your minions into crit-monsters, provided you maintain a high attack rate. It effectively rewards players for being aggressive rather than just staying on the sidelines.
