Look I edited and added more info to my post after your quote:


How is it possible that you guys can overlook the biggest factors here.

At level 19 LMP evens out to giving a bonus of 2% extra dmg.

At level 19 GMP decreases dmg by 20%

The damage difference is 22%.

This is without upgrading the quality.

With Quality at 20%:

LMP at 20% 20x.5 = 10% extra cast speed

GMP at 20% 20x.35 = 7% extra cast speed

Cast speed difference is 3%.

The major difference between GMP AND LMP is that GMP gives 2 extra projectiles for the trade off of 22% less dmg and slower cast speed of 3% per projectile. Also GMP multiplies your mana cost by 2 while LMP multiplies it by 1.5.

For a base spell dmg of 100:

LMP 102 dmg per projectile 10% extra cast speed.

GMP 80 dmg per projectile 7% extra cast speed.

You cannot factor in x 3 or x 5 projectiles because monsters might only get hit by 1 projectile. Basically, you can say that you can attack more and have a wider spread with GMP with 5 targets than LMP with 3. GMP also multiplies your total mana cost by 2 while LMP multiples your total mana cost by 1.5.
