I would be very happy, if multistrike would always target the very nearest target of your current position, and not a random target.

I have a multistrike/flickerstrike/highcrit/terminus est char. Everything would be great and fine, if i not would permanent desync.
The reason it doesn't target the nearest one is because doing so is, far, far more prone to desync. If it targeted the nearest, you'd get out of sync more often and faster, because very small differences in monster position due to latency between client and server can very easily change which monster is the nearest to you.


But than i would desync, but stand near to the position iam actualy flickering...and could resync with a leap slam. Is there a possibility to give it a try?

also always attacking nearest character would destroy the monkey-grind-core-drummer effect multistrike currently is... which is kinda cool.

leapslam + dualwield multistrike cleave = a grindcore drummer monkey

For this ability, I would prefer that it would attack a single target multiple times until it is dead, and then choose another target if it is available. When there are multiple enemies around me, I start attacking them randomly, spreading out the damage that I want to be concentrated on a certain enemy (or in a single area/direction). The random factor removes a lot of targeting strategy, and prevents things like stunlocking a given target.

why multistrike with leap slam doesnt choose random targets
It does.
We can't have multistrike different for certain skills because multistrike is common to all attacks, and thus lives in the shared code that is executed by all attacks. It isn't separately implemented in every skill, that would be a ridiculous amount of code duplication, and a nightmare to maintain.
Anyone has tested multistrike with raise zombie or summon skeleton? Shouldnt they multistrike then? Dont know if this is a good idea but 8 multistriking zombies with added fire damage, minion damage and supported with wrath and anger aura sounds like fun to me. ^^
i tried to use frenzy with multistrike as result i get only 1 charge per atack is this intended ???????????
In my opinion it would make the support a lot more viable if it would act as if 3 separate attacks were made; this would make it useful for critical builds which want to smoothen out their DPS a bit instead of being hit and miss with lots of overkill.


Supposedly life gain on hit gains extra health from subsequent attacks, so why shouldn't critical hits be calculated individually as well?

I guess it would be pretty strong with frenzy, but what's so bad about that? it doesn't make frenzy overpowered, especially since it's melee-only. Frenzy is underused right now if anything.

Overall I think the skill is too niche right now, and that making it more useful by having it simulate individual attacks would be a nice small change to the skill making it have more use (such as smoothening DPS). Right now it seems limited to just a few little niches like flicker strike and life gain on hit.

Question about this gem with Lightning Strike.
I know it got fixed , and i'm fine with it , but the point is : the projectiles get the 40% reduction but do they get the bonus damage from levelling the skill? I would say they don't because the tootip says Increased Physical Damage, is this intended? I need to know for planning my build accuratly :P

( another question: the damage reduction is additive with the -30% reduction of the skill itself? or it's 40% of the 70% remaining?)
