The Intuitive Leap Jewel is actually garbage

Over in Gameplay Help it was brought up that you might be able to respec out all the points leading up to the jewel node, which seems plausible unless they specifically code against it.

If so, that could be a few points to get to the outer edge of the Medium-sized ring, 1 point for the jewel node, and then every desirable notable within the Medium-sized ring. That seems way more powerful than originally stated.

Going to have to wait and see unless GGG is in the mood to talk more about how it works than they already have (such as it being un-removable without respecing everything in the ring).

I remember something contradicting this in one of the preview video's.

Something along the lines of "no you cant continue a road from a intuitive leap selected notable"

This would imply that you cannot respec out of the nodes that lead up to the jewel, since this would mean a new road is started from the exit node in the radius, which i not allowed.

(would have to check all video's again to find relevant one though)

I could understand if it is something like, "IL locks all assigned passives in the ring when it is placed, any any new passives allocated in the ring can be allocated without direct connection", but I wish that that is what they would put on the gem description. :(

That would be an accurate description, if it works like i imagine it works.

"this jewel allows you to pick up nodes without paying the travel cost as long as a single route is available to the rest of your passive tree"

Is also an option.

(haven't actually read the description on it yet, is it visible somewhere?)

Yeah, https://www.pathofexile.com/theawakening in the Skill Jewels section at the far right.

"Passives in Radius can be Allocated without being connected to your tree"

Your description would also fit if that is how it works. The current wording lends credence to my interpretation, though I can't imagine them not coding it so that you have to pay more than the 1 jewel slot to get the benefit.

Add the word "Other" preceding the rest of the text as is.

The other bit of misleading wording is "connected to your tree."

If those disconnected passives allocated are "part of your tree," as having points allocated to them would suggest, then the next leap of logic is to assume that these passives can begin new paths.

The wording should then read "Other passives in radius can be allocated without being connected to one of your character's starting nodes." Tallying in at just over 100 characters, it's still pretty concise. The same assumption could be made even with this wording, but it is (imo) less likely to directly lead a reader to that conclusion.

Overall, I find the jewel's name rather ironic; nothing can any less intuitive than allocating passives that are not part of your character's path(s). Unless that's what leap means--a leap away from intuition ^-^

Agreed the current wording allows a lot of interpretations and as such disappointment from users.

Should definitely be changed to something more fitting.

Hmm all other ones are pretty straight forward so far, this is really the only one that does something completely out of the ordinary, will be interesting if more jewels like this one appear.

I simply can't imagine it working in another fashion then i think it will, it would just be to blatantly OP and a must have.

Would be like leveling up 5x when you drop this jewel in your passive tree if you could respec the path towards it.

Well your an alpha pneuma :) so make the feedback count and make sure that line of text get's looked at.

yea...I really hope that you can use Intuitive Leap to get Charisma (the aura branch). That's the only use I see for it at the moment. If the radius is too small for even that, then I don't even know why they have this jewel because I'm only saving 2 skill points (1 +10 attribute node and 1 "increased aura area of effect" node, which is actually somewhat useful for a minion build...)

I would even petition for Herd the Flock to get some Intuitive Leap love. It's only going to save 1 skill point.

GGG is obviously afraid of making Intuitive Leap Jewel, and perhaps all other Jewels, op. Therefore we are presented with something like new, but scaled to something not awesome and build enabling. Which is shame...

Hello,

I've just bought that jewel.

I had many plans. First I though that I can save few points +10stat. Then I read that jewel must be connected to tree. Ok I though and I was still happy that I save some points. Then I realise (after using 6 refund points) that I can pick up node that's not connected to the tree but still if I want to pick further nodes I must connect it to the main tree.

To summarize - I lost some time and good mood to realize that it works in other way that I though. I'm very disappointed. Maybe in 9x+ lvl when all nodes counts it can be useful, but for me using jewel that can spare 1-2 points paying jewel slot is not good option.

Good think I sold it with 2 chaos profit:)

I suggest empowering that jewel - for example by giving more range or by using it as virtual tree (one can refund all nodes in it's range and still go further as long as jewel is in place).
