Bane deals 1060.6 chaos damage per second... WUT !
Honeslty I was not excpecting that much, I thought it would be something like Contagion, more a support than anything. But with those numbers I can 6L it and easily use it as a main clear skill, just switching for Sourlend or ED when boss fighting I guess.

Why switch for one of those other skills when you can stack both?

But actually I'm surprised too, given how amazing the supports you can put on it are--3 curses at 47% more each then Efficacy and Controlled Destruction at 45% more each... why not? Though then again, the supports for other chaos DoT spells are also extremely strong and give over 40% more each anyhow. But yeah it's absolutely viable for clear, and just chuck some other chaos DoT on bosses to complement it and run around like an idiot until they die.

On another note, sad that Unleash support doesn't scale with cast speed in any way. With the cast speed in the build I'm planning (which isn't even specced for very much) and assuming Unleash continues to generate seals even while you cast, it works out to about 20% more casts than you'd get when standing still and holding the spell button (with a damage penalty) versus Spell Echo's 70% more cast speed (with a different damage penalty). I guess if you're moving after every cast it would pull up around even? I'll still probably give it a try (easy to swap gems anyhow) but it seems a little underwhelming to me.

EDIT: Whoops I did my math wrong on Unleash--I guess I'd actually get 40% more casts rather than 20% more cases if Unleash works in the way I'm imagining it does. That doesn't look too bad with the extra burst potential. Maybe.

Infused Channeling Support gem.

I haven't seen anything on it yet but if its read right, in a 6-link if all supports match skill tag does that mean is one support gem can grant 89% more damage?
