Why Fortify isn't the answer

How about instead of a separate Fortify support gem, just apply the mod to the melee attack gems?

Ähm, what? You don't use fortify in your main gemsetup, Use something like shield charge, faster attacks, fortify or wirling blades to apply the buff in a seperate 3l. ^^

Re-read his post, he already said that that requires you to disengage your main attack in order to apply the buff if you do have Fortify associated with a different skill. ie: Your DPS has to stop/drastically reduce periodically if it isn't as a part of your main attack setup.

Every 5 seconds you loose about 0,2 seconds that's only 4% dmg loss you cannot compare that to linking this shit to your main attack. In fact if you use EQ or BV you will not even notice a difference in dmg.

In the world I play in, when eg. playing hard mods like -max res or vuln + twinned or whatever else you pick to do to help your map pool and have some challenge, it is not even so much about the dmg loss but you as well lose leech (insta leech), lose control like e.g. freeze or stun, etc. You wanna keep your leech and control stuff all the time up and the damage as well.

In high level play and in HC imo it is no option for most builds to have foritify not in main attack.

Come on, I run yolo alch & vaal corrupted maps all day long just to get more maps:

Spoiler

Sadly down to t11-t13 right now. :/

Some of the maps are not even identified when I run them and I use shield-charge, faster attacks, fortify all the time so please spare me the drama. All the chars I'm playing right now are l91-95 so believe it or not I really would hate to die because of the stupid XP-penalty. And for alt-f4 core I don't give a fuck and I'm pretty sure ggg doesn't give a fuck too.

If you had a single high level char you would know that after about lvl. 87 dying is not an option anymore and after reaching about lvl. 92 a standard char need to have as much survivability than a alt-f4-core char.
