And suddenly all the spellcasters start building for crit. Sucks for incineraters though. =P

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

These gems might have mattered if they offered any survivability.

Attacking 3 times faster with Life gain on hit doesn't help survivability?

Attacking 3 times with glacial hammer for 3 times the chances to freeze doesn't help survivability?

Strength Support Gem - Melee Splash: Adds an area of effect splash radius to a single target melee attack.
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.
Intelligence Support Gem - Power Charge on Critical: Critical strikes with the supported skill have a chance of granting you a Power Charge.

i really hope you dont nerf or alter these skills too much! would be so much fun to play with. all 3 of those supports would be sweet on a melee skill >:)

Power Charge on critical will probably just be another plus for Ele Bow + LA suite. Casters generally have too slow of a cast speed to crit as often as a bow user. Exception being Ice spear's massive crit chance.

Didn't understand Multistrike really. It makes your melee attack to kind of flicker strike without a teleport? How can this be used with Flicker Strike?
