Lightning stike projectile damage problem - please help!

Hi,

I have a probem, i use lightning strike, i just added 10% increased projectile damage, but my DPS on lightning strike skill hasnt changed at all! I assume this DPS reffers to melee attack, but how can i check projectile damage? And if i fire few projectiles, does each of them have own damage? (i.e. if i hit one enemy from close distance, and all projectiles hit, will damage be bigger than if i hit with just one projectile?)

Oh, and another question, if i increase melee physical/elemental damage (ligtning strike), does it apply to projectiles? (i assume yes, because i think projectile damage in this skill is calculated from melee damage, yes?)

Please help :)

Melee modifiers do not apply to the projectile portion.

Weapon modifiers / elemental / generic damage and projectile modifiers do apply.

As for the projectile damage, i am afraid you will have to use math :P

Or you could use molten strike calculator, I explained the procedure here in detail

Thanks guys, that helped me a lot, i must check it out and read carefully. I only find strange that i can't see anywhere projectile increase damage modifier on character screen. (i assume i have to count it by myself by just looking at skill tree)

Do i understand it correctly: Physical damage with melee weapons DO apply to projectiles, and melee physical damage DO NOT apply, yes?

Cheers!

That's correct.
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!
Yeah, that's the way it works. Spectral throw is probably a best example for that, when you throw a sword you used a melee weapon (as in weapon category) but you did a projectile attack, not a melee one.

I used to do things the old fashioned way - manually - but then I discovered poebuilder.com. It's nice because a.) you can click on one distant node to automatically take all the nodes in the shortest path to that node and b.) it totals your specific bonuses on the left.

With those two features combined you can fairly easily recreate your tree and then it will have the sum of all projectile bonuses for you on the left.
