Faster Projectiles and Ice Spear?

Hey guys,

I wanted to know how faster projectiles and ice spear work together. As we know from freezing pulse, faster projectiles increase the range of freezing pulse because of it's set animation that runs out. But how does it work with ice spear? Ice spear changes it form after a set time/range it flew and increases it's damage/crit potential and loses pierce. If I use it with faster projectiles, will the ice spear turn into the second form at a much wider range then before? Because that would really suck and woud make the combination useless...


Another question from me about faster projectiles: Does a faster projectile increase freeze duration or something like that? I heard the faster the projectiles are, the longer the debuffs are.

Thanks in advance :)
Someone knows?
Sure thing Magus,

The bonus quality on ice spear ( +% projectile speed ) or the projectile speed support gem increases just the speed of the ice spear, it doesnt modify it like in case of freezing pulse from what i know. It also doesnt have any effect on freeze duration. Freeze duration passives and the amount of damage you inflict to an enemy with ice spear will matter when calculating the freeze duration though.

Ok thanks. Because some people meant that projectile speed also modifies damage and duration of shock, freeze, burn etc. Good to know that this is not the case.

So just to be clear: If, for example, the ice spear transforms into second form after 1 metre (hypothetically), then it would still transfer into second form after 1 metre with increased projectile speed?
Correct. The transformation is based on distance, not time.
