Point blank and poison arrow
Since point blank buffs projectile attacks and the poison arrow cloud is affected by projectile buffs, if I take point blank and fire at the ground next to my character would the cloud do 50% more damage?
| |
I dont know whether poison cloud is affected by the projectile damage(before full release it wasnt-but now im not sure), however if it affected by projectile damage, then it is also affected by point blank
| |
" The faster projectiles gem increases the cloud damage and LMP decreases it, that's why I though point blank might increase it as well. It would be interesting to make a poison arrow/viper strike build this way. Take all the +chaos damage/DoT nodes and the drop a cloud around you and switch to viper strike for any mob that enters. | |
the poison cloud is affected by increase damage over time nodes or increase chaos damage nodes.
cause i know poison arrow has 2 tooltips. there is a damage you do the moment you fire the arrow, and one lists as your poison cloud does damage over time. hence i don't believe projectile damage will increase the poison cloud damage.

there is a difference between "projectile" and "projectile attack"
| |
The Poison Cloud from Poison Arrow is created via an aura from an invisible entity I believe (or maybe the arrow), which is why I don't think the cloud damage would be effected by PB. However, the direct on-hit damage would be.

" No. Point Blank modifies projectile attack damage. The cloud does not deal attack damage. | |
" Thank you | |
Since PA is not effected by PB, you could justify using it though - the initial arrow damage would do a lot up close and the cloud damage would weaken enemies from afar.
