I went back and tested after your post. You are correct, that it triggers on obstacles in the maps. It turns out, what I was observing was that it does NOT trigger on frost wall if the arrow pierces. I tested for a few minutes with 100% pierce chance, and as best I can tell, the effect does not trigger. It will trigger just fine if the arrow is stopped by the frostwall. When I used to play this build, it would trigger on frostwall whether it pierced or not. Do you know if that is a bug, or a change much older than I searched for? I think the league I used the build in was Ambush. Very old post, but I see no one answered your question. I'm pretty sure this is a Frost Wall bug, not connected to lightning arrow as such. Check out the Frost Wall thread for more info. Wash your hands, Exile!	Posted by gibbousmoon on Feb 18, 2016, 10:46:48 PM Quote this Post
Just to clerify: Skill damage still doesn't scale with AoE damage? "Отрастил скилл - имеешь право ногибать" СерБ	Posted by Radonegskyprotiv on Mar 4, 2016, 1:23:18 AM Quote this Post

Lightning Arrow - is there a limit / cap to projectile speed? I heard that lightning arrow already has the fastest arrow speed in game. Is there any point to adding projectile speed? I'm mainly concerned with pvp implications in sarn arena. Made a reddit post regarding this question. Would appreciate Mark_GGG or Vipermagi's comments. 🎈🤡LEGACY MINER & TRAPPER MIRROR SERVICE: 1713980🤡🎈 🎈🤡ETERNAL SUPPORTER UNIQUE: KAOM'S SPIRIT🎈Designer: IronVsWild🤡🎈 🎈🤡ETERNAL SUPPORTER SINCE APRIL 2012🤡🎈 🎈🤡IGN: CLOWNPOWDER & CLOWNLIVESMATTER🤡🎈	Posted by Castablanca on Apr 25, 2016, 1:20:24 PM Quote this Post

So, does this mean that adding Faster Projectiles support to Lightning Arrow extends the arrow's travel distance and range? 🎈🤡LEGACY MINER & TRAPPER MIRROR SERVICE: 1713980🤡🎈 🎈🤡ETERNAL SUPPORTER UNIQUE: KAOM'S SPIRIT🎈Designer: IronVsWild🤡🎈 🎈🤡ETERNAL SUPPORTER SINCE APRIL 2012🤡🎈 🎈🤡IGN: CLOWNPOWDER & CLOWNLIVESMATTER🤡🎈	Posted by Castablanca on Apr 27, 2016, 5:51:07 PM Quote this Post

On other projectile-based attacks (e.g. freezing pulse, fireball, ethereal knives), the speed of the projectile increases the distance traveled. But, for Lightning arrow, the speed of the projectile does NOT increase the distance traveled? I just want do double check this specific mechanic because a large part of the bow community is therefore misinformed including myself.

Freezing pulse and ethereal knives have limited projectile lifetimes. Adding speed makes these projectiles travel further before they run out of time. Lightning arrow (and all other bow skills I can think of) don't have a limited lifetime, but continue going until they hit something. They will get there faster, but would still have gotten there eventually as long as nothing got in the way.	Posted by crinaya on Apr 27, 2016, 6:41:44 PM Quote this Post
" Castablanca wrote: On other projectile-based attacks (e.g. freezing pulse, fireball, ethereal knives), the speed of the projectile increases the distance traveled. This is false. Out of all the projectiles in the game, there is a small set of projectile skills that have the projectiles last for a fixed time. These skills are: Freezing Pulse Ethereal Knives Ball Lightning Frost Blades Incinerate Flame Totem Note that Fireball (and Lightning Arrow) is not on this list. Because these specific projectiles have a fixed time that the projectile can exist, making them faster means they'll get further in that time, effectively extending the range they can hit things at. This is not basic projectile behaviour, and no other projectile skill works like that. It is a side effect of the special behaviour (fixed time) of those skills.
