Why does Physical Projectile Attack Damage not work with Ethereal Knives?

That is the same lame response a GGG employee made about it. It was Mark if I recall correctly.

The question that was actually asked is why the support is Physical Projectile ATTACK Damage instead of Physical Projectile Damage.

That wasn't OP's question though. hissnail answered his question perfectly.

It has the attack modifer on it specifically to NOT scale EK would be my guess. EK would be pretty fucking nuts with that kind of a more multiplier on it considering how well it already scales. Basically it would make casting anything but EK incredibly lackluster, whereas now it's just somewhat lackluster lol.

It would put EK on equal footing to melee dps, but for some reason GGG is violently against that.

EK is fine as it is. It can easily be buffed by added fire damage and the hatred aura. Other usefull supports for it can be faster casting, iron will (I did an Iron will Marauder EK caster back in nemesis), faster projectiles, all crit supports...

More than enough to boost its damage.

Ek + hatred deals double the cold damage ice nova does and that's without adding the physical portion of EK in that example.

Seriously why bitch about a buff for EK when it is the most potent available spell atm?

Me no understand yu.

Yeah, for some reason they don't want a ranged AoE skill that requires almost no investment to deal as much damage as melee.
