well, i cant one shot shin wihtout point blank and your coc cycloner. this explains enough i think. except miners also there is lmost no situation that i can stay ranged. only vs firestormers i'd take my point blank off.


also since LA has 2 damage types, that 20%(i trust you, i didnt calculate myself) becomes 40%

40%? It is just 20% per hit

when you look very close when LA ''shotguns'' you can see 2 damage hits in a row per attack. LA's secondar damage is like EA's

It is the arrow hit and the wall aoe hit in case there is just 1 wall. Both of these hits can deal the same 20% more damage if you are using point blank, which means a total of 20% more damage in total.

yeah 20% compared to total damage. thats true. 40% compared to 1 hit.
100 damage x 2: 200 without point blank
120 damage x2: 240 damage.

but the thing is from my experience, maybe because that multiplier comes from the tree and works as a end of the line multiplier of all damage calculation, the dps gets out of the ceiling when i use point blank.

here is the test i did,

test with needanaxe
my initial hit was 4.7k... i hit the guy 5 times. my damage were around 4.5-5k. after i took point blan it became 8k average and i one shot him from 8.3k after getting point blank. no frost walls used during the tests

also as i said, everyone can approach me thanks to LW enchantments, pathfinders... you name it. having a 20-30% more damage buffs decides between one shot or 2 shot most of the time. (or between 2 or 3) that is important. i couldnt be able to one shot 18K ES for example if i wasnt beeing using point blank in that video. that means life or death while playing versus a BV build.

so it s like you became a melee using a bow? Great build as usual, you gonna make some people cry haha.

Ya it was without point blank, you can calculate values on your own, its easy, and im lazy for it at this point

no problem markusz i can do it on my own. thanks a lot for help

well, people, gather here im have things to tell you.

we already suspected that, we all knew that but we have evidences now.

LA chain aoe scales with aoe investment.

we did tests with vhlad, i was staying on a corner, he was hitting to other corner and his arrows were chaining to me.

we changed out positions my arrows didnt even chain to his position but after i put aoe gem there my arrows started to chain and i could even see arrows are chaining there as if i had i linked it with chain support gem.

this creates very interesting opportunities as LA tbh.

I reckon the high end of LA (where the arrow disappear) work the same as Ice Shot meaning the arrow go into his second form and from there check the aoe radius.

I did a few tests showing that LA was hitting way further than other bow skills without aoe (mostly burning arrow and split arrow). The same player standing at the same place wasn't hit by regular arrow skill but was hit by LA.

That would also explain a lot of the invisible projectile effect. So dust your carcass jacks, get on your Shawls and take those aoe skill nods.

So you're saying you can offscreen from farther away now?

Great...

yeah after 100 aoe, its chain aoe gets out of control. for life/glass builds, carcass is bis for sure, fuck lioneyes.

can the build run with a legacy reach of the council :) ?
