Updated my spreadsheet to account for the details provided about Molten Strike's interaction with Point Blank by Mark_GGG here. This means that Conc Effect will increase the effectiveness of Point Blank, and increased area of effect radius modifiers will reduce it.
Also fixed a bug with additional lightning damage being overvalued.
So, point blank is not mandatory for molten strike anymore...
I don't know why you would think that, it's only marginally worse than we thought it was (and exactly as good as it has been all along, which is very).
The main thing that's important about the clarification is that Concentrated Effect is even better than it seems at first glance, and stacking increased Area of Effect radius actually decreases your damage so it makes justifying nodes like Amplify or Blast Radius more difficult.

You can't be 100% sure about conc effect, maybe it also decreases point blank range from 10 to 8.

Yes we can. A GGG employee posted the math for it for Molten Strike.
Also, everyone try Mana Leech on gear out. I thought it would suck...holy crap I can almost completely support my 5L with 2% with a 1H weapon! It's freaking good!

He does, but he does not say anything about conc effect.

You don't understand how Point Blank works. It has a set range for the damage reduction. This range never changes. Ever.
These are my items so far. Need to get better gem setup and some gear is junk but getting there. Level 68 now with about 8.5k tooltip DPs with hatred aura on. Lots of room for improvement as this is a ground slam build so will be better once I can respec a bit. I feel Kaoms is a great 2 handed option for this build. Anyway, enjoying this char right now ☺
sorry about the mislinked flask, stupid tablet is hard to edit :D

If you looked a little lower he said if you run point blank without concentrated effect you have a 43% increased damage. If you run it with concentrated effect it provides a 48% increase in damage.
