(1)Clarification on Ruthless Support Gem's Effect Description Vs. it's Effect Tooltip/Affected Gem's Tooltip;
Is the "USE" condition stated in Description and not re-stated in Tooltip enforced elsewhere?
If so where? on the Skill Gem? in the backend? on the client side or server side? When can we expect to see a VFX/indicator for hit(s) modified by Ruthless Blows and/or MTX added/altered VFX for immediate verification from practical application experiences.

(1)Basically a published clarification on the interaction or lack thereof, and acknowledgement there is a lack of clarity within game where Ruthless Support is concerned in the following 6-link setup or otherwise:

(2)As an addendum to that, note the Rage Support Gem, i have for your convenience provided a suggestion in the relevant "Support Gem Feedback Thread" and a link from here to there (boy it's like a ghost town in there), on the Divergent type alternate quality as it pertains to this 6-link combo.

(2)Since the "USE" condition from said Quality is expressly stated in tooltip and officially excludes interaction with Triggered Attacks, an entirely unacceptable mechanical restriction and limitation, for those reasons i felt the need to bring it up.

(3)Offhandedly wondered if developing triggered attacks for dodge/evade was a feasible or interesting opportunity the other day but i happened to look at that compendium just now and the latest answer post happened to seem to indicate that could be interesting, but not realistically feasible due to other decisions made, so R.I.P. But then again, THAT WAS 2016?????

Hi everyone, I have a basic question about curses.

If I have a curse with vulnerability on hit, with 20% increased effect ring, does that increase apply to level 1 gem version of the curse? so enemies would take 30% * 1.2 = 36% increased physical damage?

Why does crit roll per action rather than per target/hit? Is there any reason it's handled differently from (AFAIK) most other on-hit effects?

This is why only cyclone and assassin class can pull off CoC builds. Barrage CoC feels bad unless you are crit-capped, as in you can go long stretches without casting anything, which gets you mobbed and killed.

This question belongs to Feedback and Suggestion Section.

Thank you for the reply, but I think you're reading too much into my question. I've never played cast-on-crit, and I'm not providing feedback or a suggestion; it's a plain question about game mechanics. Namely, is there currently, or was there historically, a mechanical reason the crit roll occurs per action?

Is it just a design decision? Does it have something to do with how targets get an evasion check against crits? Is it significantly less calculation for the server? Am I mistaken about crit being an exception to the rule, and it's actually standard for procs (e.g. chance to bleed, chance to deal double damage) to roll per action?
