Slower Projectiles can support Ball Lightning, which causes the projectiles to deal more total hits/damage because enemies would be in the area of effect for longer before the projectile passes by them. At level 20, Slower Projectiles would result in approximately 16 Ball Lightning hits to an enemy instead of 8, other factors being equal.
