Again, I'll ask, please state the premise for your disagreement. I can respect your opinion, but I would like more information about the circumstances in which you believe the gem is not bad.

More than 50 % extra dps with 100 % extra mana cost sounds fair to me.

What I'm saying is that I can't think of a single projectile gem that I wouldn't use some other support gem for. Give me an example of which skills you're suggesting should be used with the gem.

with Chain or Spectral Throw ?

My main char is using chain and it kicks ass really...

Ranged Attack Totem + Elemental Hit + Weapon Elemental Damage + Increase Critical Damage + Elemental Proliferation + Chain :)

Chain please

please see my answer just above your post so.

Yeah, recently I tried chain with Lightning Trap, thought it will be fine since it already does a lot of projectiles. Turned out pierce does a much better job, AND I can use it with multiple trap without completely neutering my damage potential.

Pretty much the only skill it works fine with is LA, but only if used with LMP too, otherwise both LMP and GMP will top it in damage or efficiency. And shock stacking is the only reason it works in that combo too.

So this is the norm rng loot is based on?

Good luck finding anything good in your lifetime using single target attack :)

you completely underestimate the combo chain+elemental proliferation.

It's not more, it's exactly 50%, on the other target, and only if it's not a single target, if it is you cut your dps in half.

Honestly, who cares about all that crap. I'm just happy that my theorycrafting was proven to work in this video.
