Leveling Slower Projectiles gem past 19?

Slower projectile speed is not a nerf for spectral throw. Slower ST projectiles can mean more single-target hits.
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

alright, so except for these skills, the higher level is just a "nerf" for all others? (barrage, spectral throw, etc.)


Except for the skills where it is beneficial, it is indeed detrimental.

(That is true for every support gem though.)

I'm having trouble seeing the detriment of level 0 enlighten.

Good thinking. I'm pretty sure that's not what the OP meant by a "nerf" though, or what you meant by detrimental. :P

Yeah. What I wanted to say is that either something is good or it is bad. (Or it has no effect, as you said.) Giammafix is asking for examples of where the gem is good, and got several. But for every example he just replies "yes, but except for this, what is it good for"? Well obviously, if you ignore all the cases where it is good, it will only be bad.

Plus raised mana cost, of course, for everything that isn't enlighten but is otherwise similar. ;)

That said, one tiny exception doesn't break the general point.
