Path of Exile: The Awakening introduces more than a dozen new gems to use against the denizens of Wraeclast, including two new categories of skills.

The first new category of skills are the Golems. These conjured allies are more durable than regular Path of Exile minions and have one important rule: You can only have one Golem out at a time - summoning a new one immediately replaces the current one.

The Awakening includes a second category of skills called Warcries. The Warcries all share a cooldown, and are helpful in group play. Warcries scale in effectiveness based on how many monsters are nearby when the skill is used.
