[New Support Gem] Remember Frozen Orb from D2?

I'd rather LMP or GMP fired 3 - 5 Orbs. DELICIOUS!!!!

That would be imba as feck and you know it!

Maybe we should try and have a go at statting this theoretical support?

Mana Cost Multiplier: 200%
Damage Penalty: 50%
Cast Speed Penalty: 20%
Orb casts the supported skill every 0.2 seconds (increasing to 0.1 by 20th level)
Orb lasts for 2 seconds

This sound reasonable to people?

The rate the orb releases projectiles should correspond to the core skill's cast rate; the faster the core skill cast rate, the faster the release. I'm actually thinking cast speed shouldn't effect the orb itself, it should always have the same cast time regardless, and faster cast rate is entirely transferred to the orb.

By the way, I've updated the main post with all revisions, and renamed it Sphere because, frankly, this game already has a lot of Orbs.

It doesn't have to be limited to frost.

Fireballs, arrows and other projectile-like skills.

I wasn't planning on making it allow arrows; I think there are too many "projectile-only" supports so I'm making this specific to spells. No Spheres of Lightning Arrow for you.

Also, bump.

That's a cool idea. (rimshot)

Also, I like it. Make it work with spells the same way that spell totem does.

I could see this being "OP"

So basically a moving spell totem? Sounds fun!

Just imagine that with something like a trap or a summon attached, lol.

Sphere of skeletons.... would be much more fun, though probably not as efficient, than a stuff old spell totem. I'd like to reserve a gem at the NPC that will be offering them.
