Tornado shot:
Is it a projectile?

It doesn't have the tag

but quality gives projectile damage. I'm guessing the things that shoot out of the tornadoes are projectiles? Well do the tornadoes themselves do damage even?

How would point blank work with it? Like if you put the tornado right on an enemy would it do crazy more damage right there, or would it be based on how far away you are from the tornado?

On the waypoint menu, you can select Normal Difficulty (top of the screen) to go back and finish off any unfinished business, including the Normal Lab :)

Hi

I'm Mark_GGG, and I know how PoE works. If you'd also like to, this thread is for you.

We're trying out something new as a way for people with mechanical questions to get answers. People can post mechanical questions in this thread, and every few days I'll come by and answer as many as I can. This is specifically for questions about game mechanics - I can't tell you why a balance change was made, whether something will get nerfed, or what option is "best" for a given build. So if you have questions like "Does X support Y?", "What order do A, B, and C happen in when I get hit?", or "Why do the calculations come out this way when I take this passive?", I can help. Questions like "What will the next league be?", "How do people level so fast?", or "What were you thinking when you nerfed X?" are off topic for this thread, and I'm not going to be answering them.

I'm not perfect, and some things I'll have to look up. It might take me longer to get an answer to your question than someone else's - please be patient in this case. I will be doing my best to answer every mechanical question asked in the thread, although this is on top of my other work, so again, please be patient in waiting for me to get to things. If you ask about announced, but unreleased content (such as unique items shown in previews before the patch that adds them to the game), please understand such things are not always final when shown, and not all the answers might exist yet.

This doesn't mean I won't still be replying in other parts of the forum, so don't feel you have to ask things here to get answers.

That's pretty much all I have to say, so let's get the questions rolling!

Here's a link to just the GGG posts in this thread, for people who just want to see answers.

Why is elemental overload worded to only work with players and not totems?

Hi. GGG, Mark


I emailed the dispatcher to the GGG, and after a week I was asked to ask you a question. I want to know as soon as possible.


My question is if I have an attack speed of 7.23. Does this attack rate attack at 7.23 attack rate per second, or round to 7.2, or is it just 7? And this game seems to be very similar to Diablo. Scheduled Attack Rate Should the attack speed exceed the frame rate and apply to the numerical value?


I do not speak English well. I tried to make it as easy as possible through translator, but if you can understand, please answer. Please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail etc. junbimullll@naver.com e-mail address. Thank you.


Thank you for reading the long article
