Another info from reddit: lv2 gets 1% extra "more", so at lv20 we can expect 49% more in total.
This means that this gem now replaces "added fire damage" which in practice only gave roughly 28.68% more dmg with something that gives roughly 49% more dmg. Edit: 10% less projectile attack speed => 1.49*0.9 = 1.341 XD
-------------------------

I think alpha testers really did a good job with this one. They saw that Spectral Throw and Physical bow builds were underpowered in current meta, so they received a much needed buff.

Where did these calculations come from??? maybe i'm worong but shouldn't be DPS calculate this way:

If you have 200 physical damage and 2 attack per second, your DPS is 400 ok? with a 49% physical increase gem AND 10% reduced attack speed (still gem) you can obtain 200*1,49(gem)*1,8(aps) = 536 dps.

Now with added fire damage at level 20 you add 39% of physical as fire damage. So you gain 200*0,39(gem)*2(aps) = 156 dps as fire. Add these 156 to 400 physical DPS and you have 556 combined dps

So with added fire dmg you would have 3,59% more dps.

Even with say 100% more physical damage passives it should be the same: 200 physical damage with phys proj gem would become 200*2(100% passive)*1,49(gem)*1,8(aps) = 1072 dps

With added fire damage you would have 400*0,39(gem)*2(aps) = 312 fire dps. Added to physical dps which is 200*2(100% passive)*2(aps) = 800 you would have 1112 combined dps

So again with added fire dmg you would have 3,59% more dps.

I'm not sure if it works with Lightning Strike. If it does, I'm getting back to that skill :)
