The Multistrike support gem's damage penalty is now "Less Attack Damage" rather than "Less Melee Damage". This affects Lightning Strike's projectiles which were not intended to have no penalty with this support gem.

My gem just says "Less Damage" instead of the intended "Less Attack Damage"

how will this affect the explosion of infernal blow, or the minions of dominating blow?
if i dominate a melee mob it will probably work as intended, but if i dominate a ranged or caster mob will it have decresed damage without having the benefit of multistrike?

Can someone answer this? Does the 36% Less Damage apply to infernal blow's explosion? That sucks if it does because no other support gem can counter this damage reduction other than fire penetration. Considering multistrike's damage reduction balances the attack speed, it doesn't make sense to reduce a kill effect.

Spoiler

Assuming Infernal Blow's 125% damage effectiveness applies and multistrike's 36% less damage:
20% * (1.25 * 0.64) = 16% HP explosion vs 25%

A mob above the fire resist cap with fire penetration (0.6 effectiveness = 75%-35% resistance).
20% * (1.25 * .64 * .6) = 9.6% HP if Multistrike's 36% less damage applies.
