I understand that, but all of the responses seemed to be advising me on how to increase the size of the ice stream, and I wanted to get more than 1 stream....
I WASN'T trying to ask the SAME question twice, I was clarifying my initial question.
Still, thanks for the rude reply!!

So Spell Echo only increases the size of something, and doesn't cause it to be cast twice?

CoC doesn't cause supported attacks to cast linked spells?

Really? I'd say you are the rude one here, not us.

How was I being rude exactly??
This guy added a reply to my post that had absolutely NO contribution to the discussion, just to be antagonistic, and I AM RUDE??
Again, for the record, I was NOT trying to ask the same question twice, I was clarifying my initial question because I felt it was not completely understood.
Plus, even if I did ask the same question twice, and answer was obviously what I wanted, not some smarmy little comeback....

As for the other replies, Thank you for keeping it civil, and I got it, cascade can only be made larger, but not multiple streams, THAT was my question!!

Then let's look at how this thread went:

First you post:

I realize that Glacial Cascade is not a projectile, and that LMP/GMP/Fork will not work to increase the number of streams sent out, but I am wondering if there is a spell support that will accomplish this??
Forgive me, long time player, but new to Glacial Cascade....
Oh yeah, and thanks in advance!!

Asking how to accomplish what is obtained from LMP/GMP/Fork.

Vipermagi replies, but only gives one of the two possible scenarios:

Spell Echo, from a strictly technical standpoint.
That's all.

He does say "technically", but that isn't entirely true. So then I post, adding the only other possible scenario (excluding other proc gems as damage and rate will be too weak to be worthwhile):

Or CoC.

The only two ways to obtain what is normally done through other supports are now listed. WE HAVE FULLY ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION, and in quick answers that needn't any explanation. If you know this game, you know how these two answers work and how to use them.

CoC doesn't send out more then one stream per technical cast. It works as if you have 1000000000000% cast speed.

No, but what the OP really wants is a way to increase one or both of the following:

1. Area coverage, as is the main purpose of LMP/GMP.

or

2. Shotgunning, another use of LMP/GMP. Most commonly used for Incinerate.

Either way, the best way to get both is to use CoC. It not only doesn't require cast speed or significant spell damage, it requires only crit chance and attack speed. It also has more benefits than regular spellcasting.

I then post this, since someone argued how CoC was not an answer. I fully explain how CoC is technically another form of LMP/GMP/Spell Echo, and so on. It increases rate and area coverage.

I am not sure if I explained this correctly....
I have seen, I believe in groups, players who have a build that fires a number of cascade streams out in different directions, at least that is what I thought was happening.
THAT is what I was curious about here, was there a way to make more than one stream of ice shoot out from Glacial Cascade??
Again, thanks in advance!!

This post proves you either:

1. Didn't read Vipermagi's and my own post.

or

2. This is a troll thread.

or

3. You didn't understand our answers, for whatever reason.

Vipermagi then tells you that we have fully answered your question, on both how to increase each single GC and how to increase the number/rate of them (by my post).

You then call us rude, even after we have explained the answer. Your second post was fine, as you didn't understand our answers (or didn't read them) and restated your question in just about the same way. But this third post was rude and out of line.

I now use sarcasm to both show that you likely didn't read or fully understand our answers. I also use sarcasm to show what the answers do, should you not know how they work. I also state that you are the rude one, since we had answered your question and you didn't seem to get it.

You then post this. So now it is obvious that this is a troll thread, and you never had any intention of benefiting from this other than wasting the time of others.

And there is a way to get multiple streams:

1. CoC

2. Hit multiple enemies in different directions

3. Multiple streams

So, how exactly is it impossible to get multiple streams? Oh, wait, it isn't.

Alright, so that I do not have to be hounded forever over this supposedly "troll thread", I will stop, and accept that multiple strings cannot be accomplished here....

Also, I did read Vipermagi's response, but having tried Spell Echo, to no effect as it didn't even cast the spell twice, I disregarded it....
NOT trying to be rude in any way whatsoever, just trying to be sure that my question was properly stated.

So PLEASE, do NOT keep hounding me over this, I am trying to say that I got it, multiple streams cannot be done with the spell!!
