Trigger Support Gems no longer support Trapped or Remote Mined skills.

what exactly does this mean? thanks

It means that trigger gems no longer try to support trapped or remote mined active skills. Previously they supported those skills, showing the support letter, but did not function.

It is just a little confusing on how to decipher the intent of COD if it was not designed with the intent to use cleverly.

It is intended to provide a large benefit on dying. If it was to work for long periods as death, then the benefit could not be so great.

Making minions viable is already a huge challenge without substantial gear...

It seems like this is a quick fix to the exploits in nemesis, but it affects all summoners.

I'm a summoner and I didn't use CoD xD

Me too. I dc too much to go through all that trouble.

RIP burning miscreation.

i use them without the exploits they fixed just fine

Me too. I didn't see anything specific to BM getting wacked by the nerf-hammer, but I hope the abuse of them doesn't put them on The Radar. I use them un-twinked & love em' mixed with something else.

GGG don't penalize the majority for the sins of the few ...

Added support for the Fracturing mod in races.

I hope for you bosses also split

Pretty sure unless you're doing PvP, and you're trying to troll by getting a last pot shot in, this gem is utterly useless now with this change.

There is no "large benefit" on death even with this gem. It had a sole use with making powerful minions, but now it's really just another throw-away gem.

Cast on Death always felt like a gem designed purely to be used with minions. When I found out it didn't actually work with them, I was completely confused. The whole concept of the gem feels as if it missed the mark. Even in a PvP sense, it is asinine.
