Explosive arrow point blank mechanic

Hey guys,

This thought was stuck in my head for quite some days now and I really want to know the answer.
Since it says that the damage from the charges get increased with projectile nodes.

When I use the Point blank keystone with explosive arrow, will it:

A) Will the charges deal increased damage based on the range I shot the arrows from.

B) Will the charges deal increased damage based on the distance between me and the enemy at the explosion.

C) It wont increase the damage.

D) Will it only change the damage from the impact and not from the explosion.


And another question. Does Chin Sol increase the damage from the charge explosion?

If yes,

A) Will it increase the damage from the charge based on the distance from where I shoot the arrow from

B) Will it increase the damage from the charge based on my location at the explosion

C) will it only affect the impact damage and not the charge.


Thank you already for taking your time to read this, answers really appreciated!

I can answer the second set of questions. Since Explosive Arrow doesn't scale off bow damage (explosion damage is considered projectile damage), the explosion damage will be unaffected by that unique bow.

Don't know the answers to the Point Blank questions, but they are good questions.

D is correct, and Chin Sol won't help it either.

Point Blank and Chin Sol affect attacks only. The damage from explosive arrow is projectile damage, and fire damage, and area damage, but it is not counted as an attack. So nothing that increases 'weapon damage', 'bow damage', 'attack damage' etc... will help it.
