More Possibilities for Contagion?

- Allow spreading of other effect(s) in addition to ED. For example, Curses, Poison, Blind etc. The main issue with this is trying to limit how useful it might be for non-DoT builds as an easy cheesy way of getting free prolif for these effects...

Threshold Jewels! Maybe with additional downsides. I would imagine "20% chance to spread" somehow

+% skill duration
with 40 dex in the area, poison stacks spread
with 40 int in the area, curses spread

Would give it more versatility.

I could see the curses spread with contagion being a meta curser build. Literally all +1 curses you can get and curse on hit (if contagion were allowed to be considered a "hit" for this, but not going to happen) ed and contagion or something.

I more so was referring to lmp/gmp would probably kill dps of ed overall since the base design is simply, contagion and 1 ed blast since the blasts themselves don't stack. That rogue's dps is cranked to hell to do so much damage with a single projectile unless I am missing something.

Well, there are other ways of getting multiple projectiles than LMP/GMP. For instance the Dying Sun flask or the Deadeye ascendency.

Though, come 3.0 and LMP/GMP won't affect ED's damage since the DoT won't be projectile damage and so won't be affected by the Less Projectile Damage on those supports (Though, it will mean that Pierce won't buff its damage too)

That seems pretty cool.

Though, personally, I'd prefer +% Area of Effect over Skill duration (Since its duration is not bad at all, but its area leaves something to be desired since the AoE nerfs)

But Dying Sun is not permanent, limited time use unless refilling very fast (doubtful if trying to just do multi proj ed instead of standard ed and contagion), and again, the dots don't stack aside from any poison involved once things start contagion dying, and I doubt many people are doing deadeye ed over occultist (I know there are at least some but just a small group just because they can) for permanent extra projectile
