Point Blank

Guys how does point blank affect Rain of arrows? And if it works, from where is the distance calculated (middle of the circle maybe)?

Distance from where you fired it, just like anything else with point blank.

How would this effect the skill Lightning Strike given it is melee and projectile at the same time.
The projectiles get the damage bonus/penalty from point blank. The melee hit does not.

Thank you for the fast answer :D
When i searched for point blank and rain of arrows i found some old topics about it not working together so i wanted to make sure it does work :)

I recall reading in a chain or fork thread(if not both).
That the new projectiles point of origin is where they were created(on top of the enemy).
That should provide some very interesting damage values for Point blank.
Shoot up close shotgun style with a larger load, or shoot a weak fuse into a crowd and its effectively an explosion.

Thanks Maetaphor for my Beta Key :)
Sadly it doesn't work with Spells. Or so I understood.
Actually, why is that?
Would make sense just as much. Is it to prevent super shotgunning?

Edit: The above question is intriguing, as well.

Isn't a "no" better than an ignore?

I'm also curious to see if this works with Ethereal Knives? They are projectiles, but it is a spell, so I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that one...
Point Blank increases the damage dealt by Projectile Attacks; there's two requirements there. Ethereal Knives fires Projectiles, but it's not an Attack (it's a Spell).
Assume that I have a ranged attack totem that use point blank. Does the totem inflict %50 more damage if I cast it in the middle of a mob?

Say, I use the rain of arrows skill for attack. In that case, the damage would be:

(Rain of arrows dmg + Iron grip bonus) * point blank bonus dmg?

How does this work with mines and traps?
