It's a support gem, not a skill. It adds AOE to the single target skill, but that doesn't mean it converts the single target skill into an AOE skill so that it can benefit from Blast Radius or Amplify. The AOE support gem works with melee splash though.

Atleast these are my observation from testing melee splash some time ago. May be wrong, but I don't think so.

Why test it and not just look at the tooltip ?

20% from melee splash + 12% from amplify => 32% increased AoE

Damn someone said I was wrong on the internet and I proved him I was right :o Time to fap.

That pic is your proof, really, really??? Go make another screenshot now but this time remove the splash gem from its socket. Guess what it will still say 12% inscrease.

"Skill Area of Effect Radius Increase"

I still think it does not increase the effect of a support gem. What you could actually do is spec out of the passive node and see if your dmg decreases, if it does, it most likely also gets smaller.

So ? It still adds the 20% to the base 12% you get from passives , if it adds up to that and add an AoE to your skill then it works ... there's absolutely no reason whatsoever why it shouldn't work , and if you can't even trust the tooltip of the skill then we're done , better ask someone from ggg since you won't listen to anything else it seems

Did you just said that Amplify increases the non existing AOE of single target attacks or I'm getting delusional? But whateva trust your toolip all you want. It's you who uses 2 points to get a total of 10 int.
Amplify also gives 12% increased AOE to your default attack, right? Cuz so does the almighty toolpit say.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT NOW HEH ? WANT MORE ?

So what kind of mobs/maps you have to be careful with when playing this build? I'm making one after my leap slammer died :( (my fault)

Why do you not take more passives for the DPS ?

Usual stuff , don't stack too many monster damage mods , don't do ele weakness if you're not capped with like 4-5 endurance charges (ele weakness reduces all your resistances except chaos by -44%) and be careful if you're using multistrike of lightning thorns because they hurt quite bad (especially promenade boss) , otherwise even rhoas with granite + 7 endurance charges barely hurt you . Also be careful when you are in half regen map on how you use your skill because you'll rape your life. Also on no regen swap a gem (multistrike or melee phys) for life leech

My dps is more than enough to rape maps , i'd rather stack more and more life (and some armor) to just be able to facetank/faceroll shit , especially after the nerfs and the current CI dominance
