There is just one thing I need to know. Does Iron Grip affect the DOT of Poison Arrow? Since Poison Arrow's DOT is the result of a projectile and Iron Grip increases dmg of projectiles (so it's actually just adding projectile dmg or does the game treat this differently?)

I've dreamed of a full poison arrow build since day one i've played this game.. Hit and run tactics.

I doubt Iron Grip will increase the cloud. It specifically says attacks, not just generic projectile damage, which is why it doesnt work on spells.

i think it will .. it is said in the patch notes that the cloud damage is increased my projectile dmg because poison arrow is a projectile .. and iron grip increases the damage of projectiles .. so therefor .. more cloud damage .. i think (:

@GGG: Does Puncture's physical damage over time count as "physical damage with [weapon type]"?

edit: I'm guessing not, but never hurts to check.

NO, Iron Grip does NOT "increase the damage of projectiles"
Iron Grip DOES increase the damage of Projectile Attacks - as stated the Attacks qualifier will prevent it from boosting any DoT because they are not attacks.

Note the different wording between that and say the nodes at Scion start which do say "projectile damage" without the Attack qualifier.

I agree with a previous poster in that I do not see this as logical nor intuitive - the DoT is only inheriting some but not all of the qualifiers from what caused it; in this case the Poison Arrow DoT is inheriting the "Projectile" qualifier but not the "Attack" qualifier (likewise DoTs from Spells will not inherit that qualifier).

Out of curiosity will this also bring about a Fix to Ranged Attack Totem not being able to use Poison Arrow?

And if so, does this also mean that the generic "Totem Damage" Nodes in the Skill Tree would apply to a buff to the Chaos Damage from Poison Arrow? If so, this could open up an entire new avenue for two lesser used skills.

where are patch notes!

Damage conversion does not apply to damage over time.
