About the Projectile Damage passive
|
So as the details are quite vague, i was wondering. Does this passive skill works only for physical projectiles ? As some nods are quite close of the witch/6th class, and could give interesting build options. For exemple, would these passive skills affect the projectiles from Lightning Strike ?

BUMP
I also want to know if what kinds of damage are affected by this... For example: An arrow Using burning arrow With Wrath Added elemental dmg (from gem) Added elemental dmg (from item) |

That property affects the damage of all projectiles, physical and magical. That includes the projectiles from Lightning Strike and any spells like Fireball and Spark.

BUMP again!
" So, does this actually increase the +fire damage of my rings? I can't believe that. |

Projectiles are any thing you project from a weapon/hands that travel in a basic, newtonian way. A fireball, an arrow, a spark, a wand-blast, an ice spear, etc. Basically, it's physical ranged attack or any magical attack that doesn't create an area of effect, but a magical projectile.
Thus, it improves fireball damage on impact, but not the small area of effect damage fireball creates, so nearby enemies won't receive bonus damage from +projectile dmg, but the first direct hit from a fireball would be improved.

" I'm afraid this isn't correct. The AoE portion of fireball is the same as the damage of the projectile. It's sound reasoning, it's just not the way fireball works (and I just tested it to make sure I knew what I was talking about). Now, if you were talking about Explosive Arrow, you'd be correct, but the explosion on Explosive Arrow is a secondary effect caused by the charge that the skill creates. Urist McDwarfy has been happy lately. He admired an exceptional ARPG recently. He took joy in slaughter lately. He has been attacked by the dead recently.

"Posting to confirm this. If a projectile deals damage by exploding, that's projectile damage (and area damage). | |

Gahhhh.
So, correct me if I'm wrong: Fireball's explosion is based off of the projectile's damage. Thus, projectile damage+ = explosion damage+ Also, +area damage affects the explosion as well. The only case with different damage numbers arises from a piercing fireball: the pierced targets do not receive a bonus in area damage. The end! Do I get a prize? |

"Correct. Because a fireball piercing a target does not explode, it does not deal area damage. | |

Maybe my brain is fooling me, but it tells me that the question from the 2nd poster is still not answered. Maybe, I reformulate it:
If I do a normal attack with a bow while wearing a +1-2 fire damage ring, is the 1-2 extra damage increased by +projectile damage? I could ask the same for Wrath and Anger auras or Added Cold/Lightning/Chaos support gems. The previous posts indicate yes, since the extra fire damage is applied to the projectile, but it seems kinda ... imba! Am I missing something? |
