EDIT: inb4 elemental hit + splash. its melee only, i don't think will work on lead slam/ flicker strike/ whirling blade etc ign thisiseplaner	Posted by eplaner#3640 on Mar 23, 2013, 1:54:42 AM Quote this Post
While the idea behind new melee support gems is fine, I'm not overly happy with them. First because they are purely for offense--there are no blatant issues with offensive potential once a player can stay on a target. Secondly, it is apparent that these support gems will not increase power of the supported skill but rather modify it. This is a trade off I'm not willing to do often, especially when it would be the splash gem because I already have a functioning AOE--cleave, ground slam or leap slam. Multistrike support gem is different as it is possible modified skill might hit same target if no other targets are available. How will this be handled in already high attack speeds is beyond my imagination at the moment. Also, this support gem should be reserved for 2H weapons only since 1H/DW is alraedy attacking at crazy speeds.	Posted by Baron01#3047 on Mar 23, 2013, 1:56:35 AM Quote this Post
" I'm really sorry about having to delay the 0.10.5 patch by a week. Don't even worry about it - better to take some extra time and get it right. You guys are doing a great job, keep up the good work!	Posted by rileyjt#2917 on Mar 23, 2013, 1:57:21 AM Quote this Post
" Chris wrote: Strength/Dexterity Support Gem - Multistrike: Causes you to attack quickly three times with a melee attack. New targets are selected for subsequent attacks if available. So if Multistrike really is a support gem, this means you could combine it with Double Strike and get six hits with one click...? PLUS the auto target switch if there are multiple mobs...?! Phew, really hope you tested this intensive.	Posted by Khy#1460 on Mar 23, 2013, 2:01:39 AM Quote this Post

so, my volls protector build is useless now, i really liked the tradeoff you had to do to make it work, power charges are most powerfull in my opinion, and there should be something like the "50% mx mana reduced" to get them, putting power charge on crit on support gem is too op imo, unless there is something like 200% mana cost multiplier and 25% chance to get this power charge, then volls protector will still be useable.i know there is power siphon to get power charge easly, but casters dont use it.

I swear to God, all these "melee is underpowered" posts are from the retards trying to double strike/heavy strike 100% of the game. Stop being a baddie and use AoE skills, for fuck's sake. If you're reading this, I'm probably on another year-long ban. Thanks GGG.	Posted by casval776#6397 on Mar 23, 2013, 2:05:38 AM On Probation Quote this Post
Would power charge on critical work with spell totems? I want to use it with an ice spear totem.	Posted by cdotter#3645 on Mar 23, 2013, 2:05:45 AM Quote this Post
