The concept of "charges"

I am a new player in the world of MMO's and lack the depth and experience of most people when it comes to some aspects. For instance, "Charges". I don't understand them and how to obtain them or utilize them.

If there is anyone that would care to educate me with the concepts or could point me to someone/somewhere that has the indepth information, I would be very appreciative.

If you press C in game and click charges it will tell you what each charge does.. You can also poe's wiki...

The way to gain charges is through certain skills such as frenzy, it gives a frenzy charge each time you hit a mob with that skill.

Charges are granted to your character by skills. Charges are a temporary boost that lasts 10 seconds but in almost all cases can be "refreshed" to last indefinitely if you keep fighting hard. By default, you can only have up to three of each charge but gear and passive skill nodes can increase that number.

There are three types of charges: power, endurance and frenzy. Power charges give you a greater to score a critical hit when attacking or casting a spell. Endurance charges reduce physical and elemental damage. Frenzy charges grant a faster attack or cast rate.

That's the basics.

edit: accidentally a word.

Ok, please endure the basic nature of my questions just a little longer...

So then I need to find/obtain skill gems that have charges skills attributed to them? Am I getting close? :)

Charges are ten second buffs represented by the swirly balls you'll probably see around enemies well before you get your own. Each ball signifies one 'charge'.

If you recharge one charge, all of them are recharged.

I'll list what I know, but I might miss a few item details. Check the [http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/12056]unique list[/url] just to make sure.

Green are frenzy:

-- cast/attack speed increased per
-- gained by hitting with the 'Frenzy' attack skill, killing something while under the effects of 'Blood Rage' self buff/debuff, and I believe the unique sword Terminus Est can grant them

Red are endurance:

-- armour/resistance increased per
-- Gained by using 'Enduring Cry' buff and killing things affected by the 'Warlord's Mark' curse. The unique ring 'Kaom's Sign' allows for one extra charge.

Blue are power:

-- crit hit chance increased per
-- gained by killing with the wand-only attack skill 'Power Siphon' and scoring a critical hit while wearing the unique holy chainmail 'Voll's Protector'
