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.

Chain itself gives 50% less damage and at level 20 it only gives 38% increased damage (not more damage!), so you lose damage by using Chain. Remember to read everything on the skill :)

It is 50% more damage, on the OTHER target though. It's just not for single.

Because 100% vs 50+50+50%=150%

Only Chain wont chain with Weapon Throw as Weapon Throw pierces.

Yes, I am aware of that. I am just randomly discussing chain with no regards to the original post, instead of discussing it in the chain support thread.

No argument then. Chain is insane - just not for Weapon Throw :)

I would like it if ''50% less damage'' would be ''50% less projectile dmg'' instead.

No. Or only on tooltip or single target ( but what's the point to use chain on single target ?? )
50+50+50 = 150 % damage.
+38 % , so slightly more than 150 %.

Yes.

Have to see the skill to be a believer, though the leapslam combo or what it was is a nice touch and the spell looks nice.

Saying this because 2 handers with this are like bows and the damage difference between them is not that big (marginal) if you take into account what a quiver can add and the quiver will also give you life/ resist, so it will all depend on what my excel sheets will tell and how the damage effectiveness of this spell will be.

(skepticism born from weak introduced skills in the past :( and generally some still weak skills existing for a long time, till this day :( )

I could see this as one of the main uses of "Slower projectiles" ;)

why ? the fastest it is, the longest it goes.

I would use Faster Projectile on this one.
