interactions between "shrapnel shot's cone" and "projectile properties"

*sorry for poor english, im not a english person

yeah i know that the projectile damage is applied to cone's damage

but im not sure if the cone has alllll properties as a "projectile"


for example, one of the deadeye's ascendancy nodes, "powerful precision", it gives you 100% chance to pierce at close distance and critical chance as much as your chance to pierce

yeah shrapnel shot's projectiles will be affected but, i want to know if shrapnel shot's cone is also affected

plz someone tell me

Shrapnel Shot's cone is not a Projectile, it's an Area of Effect. Non-projectiles cannot pierce and therefore will not benefit from things like Powerful Precision. So no, Powerful Precision will not affect the cone.

The cone will be benefited by projectile damage, and point blank as well. But as it can't pierce, I guess it won't get the 100% increased crit chance.

Funnily enough, it will, tested by yours truly once.

So, it's a projectile AoE with 100% pierce, it doesn't matter if it can actually pierce or not as long as it possesses the stat, I think you can also get the bonus on skills like RoA or Blast rain by giving it pierce chance.
