I just read this: " Lo4f wrote: "more" / "less" = multiplicative "increased" / "decreased" = additive Maybe it would make sense including that in the mechanics post. I have seen many questions related to the "additive/multiplicative" thing. EDIT: nevermind :) just saw that it's already in...

I'd like to see the mechanic listed of 'Order of Operations'. There are a lot of effects that must be applied in a particular order and that order is not always apparent.

Does having support gems linked to two of the same skill gem still work? Ex: Level 11 Lightning Arrow supported by Mana Leech/Multi Proj Level 9 Lightning Arrow supported by Added Lightning Damage socketed in another item I ask because this was possible before and I am not seeing any sort of DPS increase from the Added Lightning Damage gem.

It's not possible anymore. You'll get a skill lvl11 LA with Mana/Multi and another seperate skill, lvl 9 LA with LightningDmg. They don't stack. Also, take a look at the small icon on the lower right. It shows a letter for each support skill affecting it, if it doesn't show up, it doesn't work.

Ah, I feared that was the case :( It is probably better for balance though.
