I assume this counts only for the non-spell projectiles ?

All of the projectiles in Molten Strike are non-spell...

I meant that just because it's a projectile it doesn't mean it can miss ...

Which is why I assumed the rule works with all the projectiles that are not spells at the same time.

Did someone look into using BoR? (Didn't read whole thread, so sorry if it has been discussed - feel free to share the post numbers if so)

I assume someone in here knows the answer.

Missing with the attack produces Projectiles. Does this mean that the Explosion (projectiles/AoE) always hits when it lands on a target ?

The projectiles can probably miss but not sure if anyone has confirmed or denied this. Keep in mind that because the melee swing and projectiles are two components of the same attack that they have the same hit roll. This means if one misses, then other does too (in most cases).

It's not really all that good. You don't get any benefit from Blind unless you don't take Unwavering Stance, which you could do, but the real issue is that Melee Physical Damage isn't that great of a support for Molten Strike.

It sucks. You don't want the Melee Damage gem at all and Faster Attacks is decent, but not as good as other choices.

Just saw it was discussed on p3-4. Hm. Saw someone running Molten Strike with a 4L BoR (and GMP in it) - he also had a Soul Taker though.

Sounds like he was running something else and then just swapped over to Molten Strike when it came out, without actually optimizing his setup for it.

Any idea on the best order to look for quality gems?

I'm running Molten / Multi / WED / BM / LL / Conc. or Fire Pen (don't have a 6L yet, gotta test it myself when I get one).

I'm thinking for me the best order would be something like WED -> Molten -> Multi (multi would only help the initial hit, but I don't have a 6L so quality on the 6th gem would be pointless right now).

I think WED would give better overall damage, either 0.75% on the fire portion (molten), or 0.5% on fire and cold from hatred (WED).

Thoughts?

EDIT: This is without running AoF (I tried it, and without fire pen and flammability the damage sucks against anything that resists fire, and it's harder w/ ele reflect than split damage).

The one biggest drawback to AoF is you have to use flammability on everything for it to be really worth it.
