Bug Report - Projectile Acceleration 3

Projectile acceleration 3's "Increases and reductions to projectile speed also apply to projectile damage with supported skill" does not work, tested it with Explosive shot and Crossbow Shot, the damage numbers do not change and from my limited testing, the "more projectile speed" part seems to work correctly.

"Increase" and "more" are different modifiers.
it shoud be "more speed" looking at the support descriptions so i too suppose it shoud apply "more dmg" and it shoud apply to projectile based minions too either way shoudnt it?

No, only "% increased Projectile Speed" mods will apply to damage with this support, "% more Projectile Speed" will not.
"Increases and reductions" are not abstract increases/reductions, but a specific type of modifier.

That seems to be how it works, but it makes no sense. More cast speed always multiplies increased cast speed.

But the additional mod for tier 3 apparently does nothing at all. Surely not intended. If it only affects "more cast speed" you get elsewhere other than the gem itself, it should state that because at the very least it's extremely confusing, and I'm not even sure there are any other sources of more cast speed anywhere in the game.

Ive checked it right now
Increeases/reductions from this gem, doesn work at all to damage of projectile.

ive tried to use Daevata's Wind also, doesnt count

It works if you have a source of projectile speed in your character

For example: Flexed Crossbow has an implicit of 20-30% more speed to bolts, when i put the Acceleration 3 support gem it increases my total dps for bolt skills
Bugged. Even path oF building is bugged.
COnfirmed: "increases and reductions to Projectile speed to also apply Damage" DO NOT WORk.
I am using Flying Spear, which has implicit 35% Increased Projectile speed.
However the gem does not take that in consideration, it was the reason why I even got this implicit as max roll.
Sad times, hopefully it gets fixed soon.
