Can't say I don't like the idea of these supports, but I would have much preferred some sort of buff/solution to the huge lack of survivability when it comes to melee.
In any case, I'm sure it's in the works, so I'll just be patient(or try at least), i guess! Time to shelf the Mara for another few weeks :P

Survivability changes are being handled separately from the addition of the new supports.

Great to hear!

i think that adding power charge on crit is not a good idea, it will make volls protector useless if there wont be lowered chance to get this charge (something like 15-25%), but then propably not many ppl will use it, so imo its not a good idea. however there have to be some other way to get power charge besides power siphon, i think adding a curse, something like warlords mark, but for power charges - caster will get a skill to gain them, volls protector will still be usable for those who are too lazy to cast curses or prefer other curses, power siphon will still be good for wanders, because they will can use other curses - everyone wins. pls GGG reconsider this new int support.

edit:

other solution would be making a downside of volls protector (-50% max mana) to hurt less, maybe by making it 25%, or adding some other properties (some resistances, life, mana regen or something) to it.

I hope these gems will make melee character almost as efficient as the ranged char are currently.

I love you GGG. You're all doing an awesome job!

Strength/Dexterity Support Gem - Multistrike: Causes you to attack quickly three times with a melee attack. New targets are selected for subsequent attacks if available.

so not a single target melee attac ?

that will get some real dps with cylone and WB.

edit :
and multistrike + double strike = 6 hits combo ?

viper strike + multistrike + splash + life gain + blind ... wouh !
