I'm sorry, but these supports [Removed by Support]

These supports are Doa, LESS damage??

Are you for real, you want me to slot a support that provides no immediate real benefit, but actually has a drawback???

This is banal, [Removed by Support]

Unreal...

It's like you started and stopped at "less damage" without considering the gem's intended use (hint: it's not for your primary damage skill).

There is no use, they are strict gimping

LESS damage.

LESS

How hard is it to ascertain that that is a bad idea/ game design?

Ya that gems doesnt go on your primary damage links. I see it going on something like OoS or the like. Shock as though dealing 500% more damage should make getting 50% shock doable if you dedicate a 4 link to it.

Its also level 1. We will see how the less damage/shock effect scale with levels too.

"Bad design", lol. In particular, maybe look at that other skill gem added that does damage based on shock value and cannot shock. I wonder if these combo when using the support on a low damage high shock secondary skill? I wonder I wonder...

Let me ask you a question, you think that adding a gimping, non-"kill faster" support in a secondary skill is superior to not doing that and instead just find a way to kill faster?

I'm truly curious here.

Don't bother. Most players of this game have devolved into "go fast, hold right click, everything explodes". Skill synergies, combos, use of multiple skills...."nah, fuck that, too slow"

nevermind, I think I misread the topic

Looked OK to me i've not seen the numbers yet but relatively optimistic

Besides the "unholy" 2 button builds, it could also be slotted on a mobility skill like lighting warp and combined with elemental focus on the main skill to squeeze in more deeps, I'm liking the support gem.
