Split Arrow of Spliting Issue

So split arrow of spliting is a bow skill. It shows it shoots projectiles from a arrow shot. So if i havea modifier on quiver -bow attacks fire additional arrow-- it should shoot 2 arrows in stead of one? It has the same tags as tornado shot.. tornado shot works and additional arrows are fired BUT the split arrow of splitting does not.. it still only shoots one arrow? Is this working as intended?

Split Arrow of Splitting has the modifier "Modifiers to number of Projectiles instead apply to the number of targets Projectile Splits towards". "Arrow" is simply a name for the projectile shot by bow attacks.

Tornado Shot shoots additional projectiles with "Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow", because it does not have change the behavior of additional projectile modifiers.

Yes but both skills have the SAME GERM tags.. Both SHOOT ARROWS that then split into projectiles.. So why would 1 work and not the other..

As I mentioned before, Split Arrow of Splitting has a modifier that changes how "additional projectiles" interacts with the skill. The skill's modifiers also refer to the initial projectile as a "projectile" instead of an "arrow" twice: "Projectiles can Split without hitting a target", and "apply to the number of targets Projectile Splits towards".

Tornado Shot does not have a modifier that changes how "additional projectiles" works with it, so its behavior is different from that of Split Arrow of Splitting.



Separately:

Tornado Shot does not "split" into projectiles. The primary projectiles from Tornado Shot "fire" secondary projectiles. If Tornado Shot's projectiles "split", then a single enemy could not be hit by multiple secondary projectiles, because projectiles formed by "splitting" are treated the same as the projectile that split from them.

Tornado Shot can hit enemies with multiple secondary projectiles because the primary projectiles each "fire" a new set of arrows.

your wrong though.. Split arrow of splitting.. Literally says. Fires an ARROW that splits to hit different targets.. SO a modifier to additional arrow being fired SHOULD work. literally says it in the gem.

"Modifiers to number of projectiles instead applies to the number of targets projectiles split towards".

An arrow is a subcategory of projectile. Anything that affects the behavior of projectiles affects arrows, but not the other way around. The use of the word "instead" means it replaces the standard behavior that additional projectiles normally has on a projectile skill. Skill tags have nothing to do with it. The skill is not bugged, you are misinterpreting how it functions.

Think of it as a bow version of Spectral Shield Throw, where additional projectile modifiers do not allow it to throw multiple shield projectiles, it instead increases the number of shard projectiles the shield projectile releases.
