multistrike does not work with reposte

It does not appear that the 'multistrike' support gem has any interaction with the 'reposte' triggered melee attack.

I compared the damage displayed in the character offense screen under the reposte skill. I removed the gem and there was no change in damage. It neither increased the damage for having multiple attacks, nor decreased it as it does in the description.

I had a 4 linked gem chain with:

-2 reposte gems

-1 multistrike

-1 melee splash

The idea was to have an end result of 6 reposte attacks (3 attacks per reposte gem using multistrike) triggering with added melee splash.

*note melee splash did work as intended


*It is also unclear if multiple reposte skills will trigger. It is hard for me to determine this, since the skill does not trigger that often, and the animations would probably overlap if they did.

Well if the devs intended it to no be repeatable, there should be some description, or working of the game mechanics (i.e. something to do with key words such as melee) to state this. To put it another way: both melee splash and multistrike satisfy all player visible conditions).

"supported attacks" if it doesn't work then it's not intended to...that's one is pretty blatant that it wouldn't work with it being a triggered effect.

If the were to add every little stipulation then you screen would be covered in text and you would still not have a clue.

No different than Spell Echo not repeating spells using the Cast When gems.

Yes supported "attacks". Riposte is "attack, trigger, melee", so it is indeed an attack. POE is very careful with using these descriptive words so that you know how mechanics interact with each other. This is the only case I have come across where the opposite is true, hence it is either a bug that it doesn't work, or a bug that there is an omission that it should not work with this gem. If it indeed is not supposed to work with multistrike, then multistrike could have a caveat that it does not support trigger gems.

Assuming the devs have confirmed that that in itself isn't a bug, it could also give a statement that it cannot support trigger gems.

You're misreading the "supported attacks" part. It's not saying all attacks can be supported. It's saying it works with the ones it's designed to work with. Like when you see "offer valid at participating locations". Doesn't mean every location is participating. Just like multistrike doesn't make a linked skill a supported one.

Perhaps I am making an assumption here, but like I said POE has been very careful about their description, and that everything works as it is worded.

Everywhere else in the game "attack" or "attacks" refers to any skill with the "attack" descriptor. Nowhere does it refer to the act of reaching out and damaging the enemy. Else spells would would into the 'attack' description somewhere.

Mark is saying, it's not the word "Attack" that you should be looking at, it's the word "Supported". Multistrike does not Support Riposte, hence Riposte is not a Supported Attack.

You're completely off base here. Multistrike is a support gem. It supports everything it is linked to. Only some of them give a shit. Multistrike suggests that "all attack gems will give a shit that I'm here", when in fact it is a dirty liar and only some of them do. It should not be difficult for them to add in "Multistrike does not work with this gem" to riposte, since they've already added it into Ice Crash.

There are support gems that have zero effect on other skills other than to impact their mana/reservation costs. They don't support them in your sense, but they do in mine (which is GGG's intended sense).
