Lightning Arrow
" Very old post, but I see no one answered your question. I'm pretty sure this is a Frost Wall bug, not connected to lightning arrow as such. Check out the Frost Wall thread for more info. Wash your hands, Exile!

Just to clerify:

Correct.

Lightning Arrow - is there a limit / cap to projectile speed?
I heard that lightning arrow already has the fastest arrow speed in game. Is there any point to adding projectile speed? I'm mainly concerned with pvp implications in sarn arena. Made a reddit post regarding this question. Would appreciate Mark_GGG or Vipermagi's comments. 🎈🤡LEGACY MINER & TRAPPER MIRROR SERVICE: 1713980🤡🎈

"Yes - it's limited to not go below 99% reduced, so projectiles do always still move. There is no upper cap. | |
" Thank you Mark! So, does this mean that adding Faster Projectiles support to Lightning Arrow extends the arrow's travel distance and range? 🎈🤡LEGACY MINER & TRAPPER MIRROR SERVICE: 1713980🤡🎈

"No. It increases their speed. | |
" On other projectile-based attacks (e.g. freezing pulse, fireball, ethereal knives), the speed of the projectile increases the distance traveled. But, for Lightning arrow, the speed of the projectile does NOT increase the distance traveled? I just want do double check this specific mechanic because a large part of the bow community is therefore misinformed including myself. Thanks Mark! 🎈🤡LEGACY MINER & TRAPPER MIRROR SERVICE: 1713980🤡🎈

Freezing pulse and ethereal knives have limited projectile lifetimes. Adding speed makes these projectiles travel further before they run out of time.
Lightning arrow (and all other bow skills I can think of) don't have a limited lifetime, but continue going until they hit something. They will get there faster, but would still have gotten there eventually as long as nothing got in the way. | |
"This is false. Out of all the projectiles in the game, there is a small set of projectile skills that have the projectiles last for a fixed time. These skills are:
Note that Fireball (and Lightning Arrow) is not on this list. Because these specific projectiles have a fixed time that the projectile can exist, making them faster means they'll get further in that time, effectively extending the range they can hit things at. This is not basic projectile behaviour, and no other projectile skill works like that. It is a side effect of the special behaviour (fixed time) of those skills. |
