Frost Blades + Ruthless support = ?

Just to be sure, linking Ruthless support to Frost Blades will increase the damage just for the inital attack, or also the projectiles? I noticed everyone gets stun (on the third hit), but I'm still not sure about the damage part...

halp?

it says "more melee damage" so it is not supposed to work with projectiles

Why the Stun part works though? Strange.

Because of the wording
"
Ruthless Blows with Supported Skills have a base Stun Duration of 0.8 seconds

Compare with
"
Ruthless Blows with Supported Skills deal (75-113)% more Melee Damage

Well that depends. Frost Blades lags more single target DPS which Ruthless would give you.

In case it wasn't clear - Skills can have 2, or even 3, different damage delivery-sources available to them. Frost Blades has two: A Melee hit that deals Melee damage and not projectile damage, and Projectiles that are fired out that deal Projectile damage and not melee damage. Ruthless will grant its damage boost to the Melee hit.
