LMP and GMP no more?

looks like they'll be removing lesser multiple projectiles and greater multiple projectiles and having a support skill gem called Additional Projectiles Support.

"

Supporting the skill with the Additional Projectiles support gem causes the extra projectiles to be fired in a line, giving the skill a unique damage pattern.

could be good. do you think it'll remain 4 bonus projectiles? i think it'll probably start at 2 and level up to 4 as the gem levels up. im kind of hoping it gives projectile speed as quality, 1% per 1%, but maybe thats just me


edit: let me be clear. the way that sentence is worded implies only one additional projectiles support gem exists. "the" is a definitive article, meaning THE, as in one. if he meant a choice between the two existing he should have said, "an". could be just poorly worded but i doubt it

Could be a mistype this change seems rather out of the blue.

makes sense, it was always kind of silly to have lmp and gmp as seperate gems. There is an edge case where some builds liked lmp for the lower mana cost modifier, but if the new gem just has the lmp mod, I dont think making GMP be a little less mana intensive will be a big deal.

i think it would be beneficial. nobody uses lmp unless you use it until you can get gmp.

i think it would be great if it had a mana multi of 130% instead of 140% and it ramped up in projectiles added. you'd essentially just be consolidating the two skill gems

this looks pretty confirmed to me

new announcement says this

"

but the skill works very well with Projectile modifying supports like Pierce, Multiple Projectiles and Vicious Projectiles.

Now I wish they would do something with Chain.

OR they are just saving typing out lesser multiple projectiles and greater multiple projectiles every time they have to write something up about them and instead just lump the two together as multiple projectiles

Chain just needs its damage nerf heavily reducing (or removing) nobody at the GGG office has noticed that pierce has the same effect in terms of clearing shit but has a more multiplier whereas poor pleb chain gets the heaviest less multiplier of them all.

I suspect this is a review written by somebody that doesn't know the game too well, or a bad structured sentence. I may be mistaken, though. I think there's still room for both GMP and LMP in the game.
