Frostbolt doesnt Fork when using the Support gem with Fork

Hi,

Came across this because with the ring "Snakepit" I was able to Fork my Frostbolt; but when I try the support gem it doesnt fork.

Is this a bug or any reason why its like this?

Split, Pierce, Chain, Fork, and Return are all properties that modify what happens to a projectile when it hits a target, and as such they conflict with each other--a projectile that pierces (continues in the same direction) cannot chain (continues in a new direction).

There is a priority order for these behaviors, so their behavior is predictable.

Pierce has higher priority than Fork, so a projectile that always Pierces (like Frostbolt) will normally never Fork. However, Snakepit has a modifier to deal with that: whether the ring is in the left or right slot, the "Projectiles from Spells cannot Pierce" modifier is active. Because of this modifier, Frostbolt cannot pierce, so it can Chain or Fork depending on which slot the ring is in.
