Does Point Blank passive and support gem stack?

Thank you for the reply Aplier.
I bought 1 more stash slot and saved the other credits because I don't know how many char slots I have.
Do you know?

One other thing - does the frenzy green orbs give the bonuses to the other spells?
I am talking mainly about the Attack Speed bonus.

At bosses I usually start with 3 frenzy hits so I make the 3 green orbs fly around me so I get the bonus AS and DMG, and then just rehit once every 10 seconds so I don't lose the buff.

But I just noticed that if I continue hit with frenzy I hit alot faster then with Posion Arrow.
Does the frenzy buff apply only to the frenzy attacks or the buff works for every spell/attack/skill?
Ok, so I made some tests.

Without any orbs flying around from frenzy
DPS Posion 490
DPS Frenzy 460

With 3 of them it is like this:
DPS Posion 560a
DPS Frenzy 640

So after it makes it's 3 hits it's better to continue hitting with it, while I just reaply the posion once every 4 sec, when the posion cloud expire.

24 character slots.

The Frenzy skill grants a frenzy charge on hit (those green orbs). Frenzy charges themselves grant 5% attack speed and 5% cast speed, so at 3 you're getting 15% attack/cast speed that applies to everything. Frenzy itself gains even more attack speed and damage for each charge.

Yup, this would be the best way to maximise dps with those two skills! =)

What does the blind gem do?
I've found one support gem that says that gives 6% chance to blind.
It's like stunning the mobs?

Also what applies to bosses :/ ?
I've putted the knock back gem but the bosses don't move, only the boss-mobs move a little bit.

Each attack has a 6% chance to blind (increasing with gem level). A blinded foe will pretty much never be able to hit you, so it's basically like a super-GG-stun.

Most attack effects (stun, chill, burn, I think blind too, etc.) have their effect/duration based on how much your attack does as a percentage of the target's max health. There is also a minimum damage % needed or the effect just won't go off. I don't know what the exact thresholds are, but because bosses and rare/unique mobs usually have much higher health pools, your attacks aren't dealing a high enough % of their health on each hit to have an effect.
