Whats up with the 'Cast while Channeling' mega buff?

10% more for triggered skill which is cast every 0.35 seconds.

See: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cast_while_Channelling_Support

It was a bit on the weak side when announced. But this looks rather on the 'too strong' side? Or do I miss something here?

Is it necessary to consider 'breakpoints' for the channel skill? Or will it cast every 0.35 seconds?

Wow, what the heck happened? It was pretty weaksauce when it was first announced, but they more than doubled its power. Having a more multiplier is fine, but it should really have a 0.5 seconds trigger time like CoC to keep it in line.

It starts at like .45 s with no damage penalty.

Was really surprised when I looked at in it a4.

It casts my firestorm faster than I can cast it myself on my starter char. Plus I get to use flameblast at the same time. Doh.

Well this just changed my plans for my build.

I wonder if it can be linked on totem. Like spell totem - channeling skill - CWC - regular skill?

What in the actual fuck, lol.

It's resulting in some fairly neat looking builds, at least. Saw one guy using it on scorching ray with glacial cascade (at least) to turn himself into a death laser.

I am playing a Blade Flurry + Cast When Channeling + Bladefall + Added Fire assassin and using mostly generic nodes (% physical damage, %area damage, critical strike change & critical multiplier).

End result is me casting a 3.5k average damage bladefall every 0.45 seconds with my level 70 shadow, clear speed is insane.

This gem is so much fun for hybrid attack+spell users, can only imagine it with Incinerate + Fireball.
