Point Blank and Poison Arrow ?

Does the AOE effect also gets + 50% dmg if fired point blank?
Also, if used by a trap, does PB use the Trap or the Cahracter as reference point?

PB is measured from the point the attack is launched from, so if the arrow is fired from a trap, it's the distance from the trap that counts.

Not sure about the interaction with Poison Arrow. The direct hit (with added Chaos damage) is certainly a projectile attack, so benefits from PB. The poison cloud is projectile damage, but I don't think it is attack damage, in which case it wouldn't benefit from PB.

Poison cloud damage over time is of projectile type, but not attack, so PB will do nothing to boost it.

Iron grip doesn't work with cloud either, only initial hit.

Thanks for the replies :)
