To the guys saying it's a bad suggestion, what about taking into account if you require x mana for a 6 link, and you then make it a 10 link, it becomes sh*t tons times x = total mana cost per cast.
Add onto that my suggestion to make Link into a "More" mana cost, and you're REALLY going to have to spec into having enough mana to cast it once, which means you give up survivability, you give up straight up damage, you give up a lot.
Also take into account that there aren't many spells that can effectively gain much from linking with 10 supports.
More over, it's more of a convenience things. You don't need a 6 link now, you only need 2 4 links. This solves the problem of not having proper links to progress anywhere near merciless unless you grind the same area for hours to either accumulate enough wealth to buy something mediocre with 5 or 6 links, or pray to the RNGods for SOMETHING useful.
It's still a ton more efficient to get 6 links, and allows you to use more skills, but this means you don't have to downgrade stats for links.

i think the idea is totally fine and legit.
BUT i would pick up the idea of the gem leveling up and u can actually only link up to 4 linked items. so u Could get for example a 6 link with 2 one hand weapons or onehand and shield.
So u wouldnt suffer so much bcs 2 6 links atm is in my opinion op as hell. So many guys go 2hand over safer way one hand shield bcs they cant get 2nd 6 link.


Btw. imagine u make the MORE mana *2 the linked gems.
So u could get easily a 1k mana or hp spell firing it once.

There are ways to make this a legit way to get a 6 link.
Just need a bit restraints. and well at least i think its an interesting idea,
instead of crying to ggg to make it easier to get 5l/6l make a gem thats let u get to lategame without those expensive items.

Well, fine, don't allow 10 links. Simply solution: (taking my previous suggestion into account), make it so it can only level up to level 4. There, no 10 links, and still getting the benefits not having to have a 6 link be mandatory.

How would limiting the max level of each linked gem to four prevent you from getting ten links?

You must be using either drugged or alien logic. Please explain.
