hollow palm not working with projectile or area damage any more

after the change to hollow palm in 3.15 it now only works with melee hits. so the new skill volcanic fissure is useless as most of your damage overlap is due to the damage from the projectile balls. smite has a similar problem and with vaal smite coming out you cant really make use of that skill either. to me the change in 3.15 was unnecessary and caused more limitation to skills for hollow palm then there needed to be. reducing the attack speed was fine. changing it from attack damage to melee damage doesn't make sense. being Unencumbered should be a big enough limitation to what skills you can use. does anyone else feel this way?

How do you know what the Vaal version of Smite will give?
And why exactly now do you have a desire to find justice for the variety of available skills in an archetype where there is no variety?
The 3 gear slots are empty.
Boots are always Garukhan's Flight.
Amulet is almost always Astramentis.
Helmet is always Fractal Thoughts.
Body armour is almost always Briskwrap.
The only original "choice" is in regards to costume jewelry. It depends on how much resources you are willing to spend.

Otherwise, the main diversity of the build is the 4 most appropriate active skills.
What are we even talking about, lol.

I was gonna write something to justify why a build that has literally no variety anywhere else would be nice to have more skills than just Ice Crash and the occasional Infernal Blow "maybe I could make it work"

but why bother. You're right, this build has no variety in the gear = no need to make it varied anywhere else.

Good vibes
