Must be this:

I have never seen anyone use it. Ever. It seems like it could be useful for summoners but it works with physical damage only.

Thoughts?

I think it should work with all 3 damage types. Chaos and elemental too. Then it could be useful for summoners or even multiplayer.

Let me know in this thread what gems you think are the weakest out of all. if any can surpass punishment in least usefullness.

Edit: Changed title from worst gem in the game to weakest gem in the game. Worst sounded so negative. Don't want negativity on the forums =) I don't create this thread to whinge. Only to discuss for fun and to learn new stuff

My top 3 of weakest and least used skills:

1. Punishment
2. Sweep
3. Shield charge or chance to flee

"

the most useless gem in the game is not punishment but end charge on melee stun.

Hell no. Endurance charge on stun allows for the absolute best way of getting ECs in the game. Utilized it on my stun build for constant 15+ second ICs while instantly getting full ECs each time. It's also the best 6th link for stunning ability.

Most useless is chance to flee period. No real pvp or pve use.

my link is cleave - weapon elemental damage - CoMK - Discharge - Endurance Charge on Melee Stun
It works no so bad (not so good too. My single cleave can do similar damage than my 10 charges Discharge...) in solo, but shitty as hell in party.
I have already used Oro's Sacrifice (which has Culling Strike against Burning Enemies). However, it's still so bad in party.

1. You melee attack can't do even enough damage in a 6 man party. BAD.
2. You can only deal so little killing blow to mods even if you have culling strike. Really BAD.
3. Your spell is still not strong enough even if you can kill a mod (I use Disharge with 4 frenzy, 3 endurance and 3 power with over 200% elemental damage passive). Still not xxx enough. I will expect that spell triggered by CoMK should do massive damage (Should be CoC -> many but small in one hit. Selfcast -> middle. CoMK -> few but massive) but it's not. Really Really BAD BAD BAD.
