Updated: Frost Blades has many 'possible' unintentional mechanic malfunctions. Please fix.

If it has the Projectile tag then it scales with Projectile Damage nodes and the like, including Iron Grip if the skill qualifies for Iron Grip (which means it'd be a projectile attack skill, not a spell or something else).

Projectile -Speed- is mentioned because it's sometimes an outlier since some projectiles don't care about it (such as Molten Strike's) while others do (like Frost Blades').

As far as this thread not going the way you wanted it to, you might want to look at your wording and how people reacted to it. Until your most recent posts spelling out exactly what you want you have done a poor job of conveying the ideas you've got.

Okay, so why not include that excluded information regarding Projectile Damage nodes and Iron Grip on the Wiki for Frost Blades to describe the relationship between those things? The Wiki still remains in its ever-so-less poor state (since you said it was updated) with that missing information.

That is even more a reason why more information needs to be added that was left out on the Wiki pages regarding such details for Frost Blades, Lightning Strike and Molten Strike IF the projectiles from Molten Strike and/or Lightning Strike do not work with modifiers like Projectile Speed like Frost Blades does.

So be it. At least now I got what I wanted to get across to begin with. Better now than never, right?

P.S. Rereading my original OP I crossed out, it was quite clear, and I verified that on Page 2 of this thread, second post from the last one. You just misinterpreted most of it regarding how you thought my OP was talking about the initial Melee hit when it was the Projectile portion of Frost Blades I was talking about, regardless if I was wrong (at the time) about Projectile Damage nodes and the Iron Grip Keystone not working with Frost Blades.

How was I not clear about that in my original OP?
When game developers ignore the criticism that would improve their game, the game fails.
Just because a game receives a great amount of praise vs. only a small amount of criticism
does not mean to call it a day and make a foolish misplaced assumption that it is perfect.

It's crystal clear to me. I can't speak for anyone else, though.
