Don't destroy the Voll's Protector!

Make it useful for pure damage users giving it 25% spell damage more (or a bit of crit multi).

Before saying it would be op, please consider that using a voll means to:

1- Halve your mana (and therefore having to invest some passive points in that).
2- Most importantly renounce on pure ES armors that can give 400+ (even double than that) ES, remember that a 400 es armor would give 330ES more than a Voll's, that would translate in about 1-1.5k ES with some ES passives (expecially to Ci users).

The fact that a 5L Voll's would give the same damage as a 6l pure Es with that gem, isn't enough of a reason to use a Voll's at its current state with the huge drawbacks it has.

Thanks for the update Chris and good luck in the city formerly known as the city of the hippies!

On gems: Would it be possible to further spell out the type of gem? I mean there is a system in a certain developers head for what supports work with what gems, but I would love to have a more explicit explaination of what combinations are meant to work. Like:

cleave
type: melee area of effect
required gear: axes or swords
Damage type: physical damage
Attack type: normal attack
Other info: none

Bear trap
type: single target trap
required gear: none
Damage type: physical damage
Attack type: trap
Other info: none

Molten Shell
type: single person defence
required gear: none
Damage type: fire damage
Attack type: threshold damage taken
Other info: Adds armour rating

And similar for support. Make it at the first post in the forum for the skills to make it useful. What is needed ingame is always only part of the total information!

That's actually exactly the purpose of keywords. Using the keywords below the name of the skill in the gem tooltip, you can get a very good idea of what it does. The fact that that;s what the keywords are for should be better communicated, though.

"

By the way, we're definitely listening to vocal feedback on topics like loot allocation. While we haven't said anything in the last few days, there is a lot of discussion occurring internally about various options for those systems. I'll post more once there's more information.

You don't even know how high the chance for a Charge is with a max level gem and talk about a item being made useless already.

I just don't understand some people.

Won't this make AoE melee skills like Cleave kind of useless?

I mean, considering you can just put on the splash gem on Heavy strike or Double strike and have something similar.
