Tornado Shot + Point Blank

Does it work or where is the "start of their movement"?

I believe start of the movement of second form projectiles is target destination of initial projectile, but I have yet to test it to be sure.. Should be easy to test, just shoot the projectile at the mob near the edge of the screen..

Would be but I lack the support gem :(.

Developer, please answer this.

Just tested it. It appears that it calculates from the impact of the damaging arrow to your location.

It's most likely done like chain, you lose some damage up to the point of impact and then continue to lose it from the point of impact to the enemy, the damage doesn't 'refresh', so to speak.

It would be OP if Tornado Shot planted a point-blank bomb wherever you clicked. Think of what you could do with the new Chin Sol...

I tested it and, it seemed to me, the travel distance is calculated from your location, not the impact location. My test was to shoot at enemies one screen away and they consistently took less damage then if they were closer.

The Devs have spoken on this before but I can't seem to find the link at the moment.

Point blank measures the distance it is from you to the target at the time of impact regardless of how long or how far it's traveled. The closer it is to your character (not the source, like tornado shot) the more damage it does.

That was true before, then chain made them rework the calculation, now damage drops as long as the arrow travels. It's especially noticeable on spectral throw, if you got point blank returning hit does almost no damage.
