Hello,

Have you GGG ever thought about making Multistrike a quest-reward gem ?

The support gem has proven to be mandatory for a lot of melee builds.
In hardcore league, the price is increasing as demand excels offer, and it becomes unaffordable for new players (sometimes 3 or 4 people are like "WTB Multistrike" at the same time in the trade chat)


Yeah, it seems ATM every melee build is using Multistrike lol!

There is no knowledge
That is not power
It is reasonably easy to get these days. The price has dropped from around 1 Exalt when it was first put into the game, to a couple GCP, then 1 GCP. and I have recently seen it on sale for 2 Chaos. I've had about 4 drop for me as well. It's a lot like Chain in that regard.
Light as a neutral force.

The new flesh emerges.

In softcore, yes.
But what about hardcore, where players die on regular basis, and their Multistrikes vanish?

Is Multistrike a quest reward only for scion ?

Spoiler

It's for all classes.

A Fixture of Fate (golden pages quest) -- look at the merciless rewards.
Maybe this was earlier in the thread but, do each 2nd and 3rd hit cost mana as well? or is the initial hit the only one that uses mana and just has the mana multiplier applied to it?
Resource costs are once per skill activation; Multistrike "repeats" the skill twice, but it's still just one activation.
Does this gem drop more often now?

My low level Marauder has already found 2 +5% quality Multistrikes in the last few days I've been leveling him.

So when will Multistrike be fixed? When will it take same 2nd and 3rd target on client and server? Chris, Rory or whoever is responsible for support gems, please answer.

I will not support this game until this shit is fixed.
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.
is it soon time to fix MultiStrike ?

MultiStrike reduce's the mana cost of your ability - increases attack speed and it increases the damage you deal. you wont find a melee player who is not using this support gem or searches for it in order to use it.

the gem only reduces damage by 36% but at lvl 20 it grants 57% more damage + if you improve the quality to max it add's 10% more...

take a look at this as an example:

there's many other abilities that are being spammed like this and pvp is a mess due to the extreme high attack speed of player's along with aoe or movement based skill's.

you no-longer need movement speed to avoid heavy damage but you can become close to immortal for a brief moment instead... there is not much use in trying to run either since all abilities land within a split second and are aoe based....

nerf multistrike before it is too late and by that i mean players getting too accustomed to it
