There's Multistrike and there's Echo - where's Multi attack?

Barrage should have been a support gem.

Chain..?

yep. auto hit. gg.

Totems need one as well, I've made the suggestion before with the name Splinter gem, but Multiply would be an effective solution for a Bow/Wand/Totem Support gem.

Because ranged toons really needs more advantages other than range and snipeing friggin everything from a safe spot...

LMP, GMP?

LMP & GMP are more comparable with melee splash



Spells work with lmp/gmp + spell echo

Melee skills can use melee splash + multistrike



Wands & bows have no such thing.

melee splash and multistrike exists to balance melee against spells and ranged attacks
spell echo exists to balance selfcast spells against CoC

I'm merely stating that multistrike + melee splash function the same as lmp/gmp + spell echo.


If a multi ranged attack were be added, it would be a kind of gem to use instead of chain, so you got for example: lightning arrow - lmp/gmp - multistrike (rather then chain).


Not sure if it's really necessary to have a multi ranged attack gem though, I don't play bow builds myself.

Please god no more Multistrike clones. Spell Echo was bad enough. This trend is getting out of hand.

It's senseless to use other gems as a reason to create another.

Where is point blank for spells and melee. Where are gems that effectively shotgun for melee. Chain? Etc.

They are different for a reason. Spells probably needed it because manual casting was not popular for several reasons.

yep, why not give me something that makes my off-screen SA/Puncture better, i never want to see living monster on my screen again... :D

No, seriously that echoshrine already gives me god-mode, so no more attackspeed to bow skills.. Quill Rain and Barrage are enough.
