EK is spell, so it doesn't work with point blank.

EK is a physical projectile Spell according to the skill gem description and everything that impacts spell dmg, projectile damage and physical damage (not MELEE physical damage) influences it.

You are playing this since closed beta the phrase "projectile attacks" should set off your alarm clocks here.

This is a horrible thread and full of misinformation.

Here are some things that are actually true:

1) Point Blank only works on attacks, not spells. It says projectile attacks. It does not work on EK.

2) Point Blank damage multiplier is based on flat distance travelled. It has nothing to do with the total distance that the projectile will travel, or anything weird like that. Slower projectiles will mean that your projectiles stay in the high dmg range for longer, because they take more time to travel the same distance.

I never said it WAS based on distance traveled, just that it would make sense if it was based on that. From looking at the wiki it appears you are correct, it is based on a flat distance. That said, you could have presented your points with a lot less sarcasm and condescension.
