Edit

Multistrike Support

Multistrike Support is a Support gem. Melee attack skills that are linked to Multistrike will repeat themselves twice after the initial attack (e.g.: linking Double Strike with it will make it hit six times instead of just two per use of the skill), automatically selecting valid targets within range for the successive attacks. Each repeat deals more damage.

Skill functions and interactions

When multistrike is linked to attacks that involve player movement such as Flicker Strike the skill will first travel to the destination selected and then will travel to any enemy within range for the next two attacks. If no enemy is available the attacks will be targeted at or near player location. As of 2.0, Leap Slam and Shield Charge used by players can no longer be supported by Multistrike (it will support these skills if they are used by minions created by Raise Zombie, Raise Spectre or Dominating Blow, etc).
Critical strike hits are rolled once for all three strikes. Effects that trigger on an outgoing melee critical strike will only trigger once per activation of the attack, even though all three strikes will crit.
Mind that Multistrike only works when used with attacks. For the spell variant of this gem, view Spell Echo Support.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.15.0d	Multistrike Support now has a Cost and Reservation Multiplier of 150% (previously 160%).
3.15.0	Supported Skills now deal 30-20% less Attack Damage (previously 20-10%). Can now support melee totem skills.
3.7.0	Now grants supported skills 35% more melee attack speed at gem level 1 (from 75% more), up to 44% more at gem level 20 (from 94% more). Now causes the first repeat of supported skills to deal 40% more damage at gem level 1, up to 50% more at gem level 20. Now causes the second repeat of supported skills to deal 80% more damage at gem level 1, up to 99% more at gem level 20
3.1.0	Melee attacks supported by Multistrike now more accurately take attack range (including area of effect modifiers) into account when checking for targets for subsequent attacks. This has negatively impacted some skills and positively impacted others, but in general melee skills supported by Multistrike will target monsters that better fit the behaviour of the attack.
2.0.0	Damage penalty has been reduced to 30% less damage (was 36% less) and attack speed bonus at level 1 has been reduced to 75% increased attack speed (was 88%). Multistrike no longer gains increased damage per gem level.
0.11.0c	Fix a bug where Shield Charge Multistrike hits after the first did no damage.
0.11.0	Damage penalty reduced from 40% to 36%.
0.10.7	Multistrike's damage penalty is now "Less Damage" rather than "Less Melee Damage". This affects Lightning Strike's projectiles which were not intended to have no penalty with this support gem.
0.10.5	Multistrike has been added to the game.
