[2021] I was thinking about a trigger attack gems , is that could be a new gems for 3.16 ?

It would have to be a new type of gem altogether. If it was just a support gem, it would lead to an infinite loop where your first attack triggers a second attack which triggers the first attack, which triggers the second attack, and so on and so forth. A gem like this would have to be it's own attack+trigger in one gem. Not saying that it can't or shouldn't be done, just that it's not as simple as just creating a support gem to link 2 attack gems to as you're suggesting with Chain Hook and one of the other skills.

couldn't there be a trigger attack in the style of "alternating attack support gem"(with inherit +dmg or attackspeed bonus) linking 2 attack skills (lets say ice crush + tectonic) grays out the second skill. so that when you attack with ice, holding down the button then it does an tectonic, then an ice, then an tectonic, and so on.

having 2 skills linked is an inherit negetive, whilethe trigg support need to have some +x damage in some way. could make use of some nice combos, easily as elemental ofc.

imo sounds like an easy simple support gem that seems almost like a spellslinger, for attack skills

How about something like:

"Supports melee attack skills, causing other melee attack skills to trigger when used. Cannot support Vaal skills or triggered skills. Only skills you use can trigger other attack skills."?

Give it about a level 1 20%, level 20 39% chance to trigger, and a .35 second cooldown.

Couldn't you accomplish that with something similar to the way Corrupting Fever works? It wouldn't be a trigger gem anymore but it would accomplish the same thing more or less.

In this case, a hybrid active/passive gem that gives the player a buff that triggers an unlinked attack when a linked attack is used.

is it possible to make the trigger support remember which supported skill was manually used to differentiate it and then trigger all other attack skills?

Would be interesting if one could use either skill to trigger the other.

Would it be possible to do this with an active skill, such as:

Combo Strike

Grants Combo Strike and supports other linked strike attack skills, granting them a cooldown and allowing them to be triggered by Combo Strike and each other. At the end of Combo Strike or a linked attack, if there is a target within melee strike range, trigger a linked attack toward that target.

And then have it grant something like 20% more attack speed for each attack previously used in the combo (up to a maximum of 80%)?

The cooldown could be short (like 0.5s or something) and just there to prevent attacks from triggering each other back and forth repeatedly unless you get super slow attack speed (and even then you'd be able to "break" it by canceling the attack action by moving or ordering some other action, or running out of resources to use the skill, or running out of targets).

Hmm. I suspect that as fun as something like that would be to try to build around, it probably doesn't feel very intuitive and therefore probably would be a pretty poor skill as far as fitting into the game would go.

I fondly remember the days back in the Fall of Oriath beta where Al Dhih would mistakenly trigger socketed attacks on hit and you could break the servers.

Regarding the animation issue, would having the triggered skill be performed through a spirit overlaid or above the character, like Ancestral Call/Fist Of War, make that easier? So that the character itself isn’t performing the triggered action.

Although I can already see there is the obvious difficulty of making the activation actually get communicated to the player without adding clutter.

Would it be possible to have a Strike Skill support that triggers a Slam Skill?
