Caustic Arrow

If the actual projectile misses, does it still apply the poison cloud, even if it's piercing? In other words, does accuracy affect the poison cloud at all, or should I avoid it altogether in a PA build? Also, does the +% chaos damage from a qualitied added chaos damage affect the poison cloud?

The cloud stilll works, as noticed by animation.
PA on cloud is no.
Any and all chaos damage boosts (and dot) affects the cloud. Aoe size works but not sure on aoe damage, should but dont think it does.

THere is something i dont get with the wording of the skill :

"Base duration is x seconds
Deals x Base Chaos Damage per second"

This is ok.

"Gain x% of Physical Damage as Extra Chaos Damage"

What's this ?

What I understand is something like this :

I launch PA. It creates a cloud of poison, lasting X seconds.

During this time, any arrow i'll launch (let's say : split arrow) fired through the cloud will add some extra damage as chaos, according to my physical damage.

IS THAT RIGHT ?

If so, to sum up :

To have some sort of PA build, I need :

Extra DOT damage
Physical damage.

Can someone confirm to me if I'm right or not ?
Thx a lot

The Poison Arrow is damaging totems now! ;)

This is a tooltip bug

You know those pictures arent loading right?

+Area Damage is still not calculated in the tooltip which is a bit unfortunate, now that you can get additional Area Damage pretty easy with Jewels.

Poison Arrow now procs Corrupting Blood in patch 2.0 and it procs 20 stacks in less than 1 second!!!(For whatever insane reason GGG has in order to troll the players more). Poison Arrows users beware.

-RANT-
Degen is now considered a hit yeah! And a very very fast hit too! Just that hit only procs debuffs by enemies to kill you but doesn't do anything beneficial to the players, eg: proc LGoH.
Lame hidden mechanics by GGG. GGG starting to suck to apply so many hidden mechanics.

oh well. It is their game.
F`$% GGG.
