As in the item would only have one designated skill slot with x amount of support slots?


right (one extra for a total of 3) in a tabula

1h weapons/shields have 2 slots
2h weapons have 4 slots
Armor has 2 slots
Helm, Glove, Boots have 1 slot each
Unset rings have 1 slot
socket talisman has 1 slot

Once you put the skill gem into the skill slot it unlocks the links, depending on how many the skill gem has.

This is the whole reason for the meta support gems I believe - they will act as the "active skill" and the skills you link to it become the support skills.

well it's still, for exemple, an extra arc + controlled destruction + added lighting damage + whatever support gems you wanna give a shot at +21 or /23%


right
but is that worth giving up stats? probably not.
If your armor didnt matter just use a dialla's with the increase xp gain and even though you give up 1 extra slot all your gems will level faster anyway.

in poe2

only fusing will be obsolete. you still roll gems with jewelers and chromes for colors and sockets.

IMO Tabula will be useless, but it will give an extra socket slot for armour (3 instead of 2) so you could have another 6 link with it. And the colors will still be white so you don't have to worry about colors.
They have not figured out what to do with items like Kaom's Heart that have no sockets as of the announcement.


Fusings aren't going to be obsoleted. They'll be needed to activate your support gems still.
Kaom's will still have 0 sockets.

Don't think so. That's not what it sounded like from the presentation.

This is so wrong. They clearly said fusings wont exist anymore in the game, and the current fusings will be transformed into jewellers when 4.0.0 launches, at the ratio they will decide later on, most likely 4:1.
