Support Gem: Collateral

Strength support gem
Level 12

Supported non-AoE melee attacks will deal damage to 3 targets near every target hit for 35% of initial damage

Levels increase physical damage
Quality increases the AoE of the support (the area in which it chooses targets)

The purpose of this gem is to provide a virtual AoE damage effect to single-target melee attacks, or any other attack skill that is not classified as AoE (such as Whirling Blades). This adds another potential option for melee builds that lack in the AoE department still.

I know where you are coming from but what I like about melee is that is feels melee. I wouldn't mind a support that adds bursting damage (like fireball does) to our hits.

I'm not sure what part of the support suggestion would make melee attacks feel less melee. You still have to walk up to enemies and smack them with your hammer. The functionality would be similar to Lightning Strike, but without the ability to attack from range with the hold-still key.
Nice.
This might be an alternative for lightning strike/sweep/ground slam builds.
Just imagine how cool would be a melee frenzy with this.
Or a flicker strike...

I sense melee puncture using it as well.
