My Kitava's Thirst test - It behaves a little weird?

How do you get 100 mana spent per skill use on a melee range build? Do you mean something like two different Blade Vortex link ups?

This isn't entirely true from the testing I've done (and thank you for making this thread OP, I came to make the same one).

My plan for this character was to use phys crit Kinetic Blast to clear trash, and then also use it to kill bosses by proccing Magma Orb, Fireball, and Arctic Breath. All of the AoE and projectile passives and buffs would apply to all aspects of the build.

I came to make this thread because, at first, I had the same experience of my projectiles shooting out all over the place randomly, which was terribly disappointing. But I thought I noticed something. When I was close to mobs (like melee close) the projectiles always seemed to lock in on the target. Always. All 3.

I started testing going farther and farther away from high HP mobs like Brutus, and essence rares. Alira. Stuff like that. I think, if you look at this picture:

https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/pathofexile.gamepedia.com/2/2a/Point_Blank_distance.jpeg

the magic distance is 35 units. At 35 units or closer, your projectiles target. Farther away they are random. I'd love for more people to test this for themselves, but out of hundreds of procs in melee range, I didn't have a single projectile miss a target when engaged in 1v1 combat.

I'd also love to hear from GGG if this is intended behavior, because if I'm right, I may have to respec and build around point blank and use like 40 regrets on this character =/
