... And he is right. The new melee support gems are good, but not for physical. please GGG buff phys. dmg.

Linking Melee Splash and Multitrike to Groundslam is sooo much fun, but seeing your DPs go down like 50% is total garbage. instead of buffin melee the new support gems in some cases made it worse

The main point is that stacking attack speed is bad for physical hits.. Physical damage itself can be ok.

I agree it needs more general passive nodes... and possibly a way to make reflect less devestating. It's really disheartening to see people with 10k+ armor/8k+ hp still almost dying to reflect.

This isn't exactly new information, it's not like the armour mechanics radically changed recently.

Without having seen the video, basically any damage effectiveness is going to effect physical more (just like stacking physical typically gives you better returns than is perhaps obvious) because of the reduction formula. It's been the case for as long as I've played the game, low-medium physical damage does not work.
Physical damage always sucked in this game since armor works so good against it. At least the amounth players can inflict.
You are linking two supports with a very high "Less" modifier and then complain you are doing low damage.

Uuuh...

Why would you link melee splash to ground slam? It's already an AOE skill.
Just noticed, why isn't there a "Armor reduction" curse? I mean we have like 5 elemental curses? If the 8000 number is correct a (-4000-6000) curse would be a nice addition to the existing 32% more dmg curse.

PS: Ofc this wont solve the problem that in nearly every map group i'm in my curse always gets overridden by either enfeeble/proj weakness/ele curses. Still would be fair to have something similar to resistance reduction.

yeah just added this as PS, how about a combined armor/ele curse?
im predicting that they will add increase physical damage by % aura in the near future
