A system has been added that will automatically add divination cards and other items to the item acquisition sections where appropriate. Entries added by this system will be shown as automatic in the item acquisition section.

Some pages will need to be updated to include upgraded_from_disabled=true if they are not eligible for the system.

Projectile

From Path of Exile Wiki
(Redirected from Projectiles)
Jump to: navigation, search
"Projectile Damage" redirects here. For the passive skill, see Projectile Damage (passive skill).

Projectiles are entities which are produced by a spell or ranged attack which travel independently of their creator until they collide with an enemy or obstacle or reach their travel distance limit of 150 Units.[1] Skills gems that create projectiles usually have the Projectile or Bow gem tag.

Speed and duration

All projectiles have a speed, which can be altered by Projectile Speed modifiers. All projectiles also have a duration (which can be infinite), although in most cases this duration is not mentioned anywhere and cannot be modified, unless explicitly stated such as with the skill SparkSparkSpell, Projectile, Duration, Lightning

The speed and duration combined determine the distance the projectile will travel, up to its maximum range. This is important when considering projectiles that have a limited lifetime.

(0-19)% increased Projectile SpeedPlace into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket.Freezing Pulse skill icon.png creates projectiles which deal full damage initially, but deal less and less damage the longer they are alive. Increasing the Projectile Speed of Freezing Pulse will cause the projectiles to arrive at the target sooner, and therefore they will deal more damage than a slower-moving Freezing Pulse that traveled the same distance.

Increasing the Projectile Speed of limited duration projectiles will allow them to travel a further distance before they expire.

However, there are effects that occur based on the projectile's total distance traveled since launched. For instance:

Ground and airborne projectiles

Most projectiles fly through the air, however there are some that travel along the ground.

Airborne projectiles can be aimed up and down cliffs and other height transitions, and can impact with the ground or ceiling. This can sometimes make them difficult to aim when dealing with a steep vertical angle, as they might fly over the heads of enemies or harmlessly impact the ground at the enemy's feet. Airborne projectiles will pass through most low obstacles such as small chests and rocks.

Projectiles that travel along the ground are subject to the same restrictions as a walking player. This means they cannot be fired up or down height transitions, and will instead collide with the edge. They will never impact with the ground or ceiling, but they are much more likely to be obstructed by small obstacles around the environment. Skills that create earthbound projectiles include SparkSparkSpell, Projectile, Duration, Lightning

Death

When a projectile collides with an enemy or obstacle, it explodes and is destroyed. This happens even if the projectile is the result of an attack that is evaded or dodged. Intuitively a projectile that is evaded or dodged would continue along its trajectory, but that is not the case in Path of Exile.

ItemStats

Subprojectiles

Normally a projectile attempts to hit the first enemy it encounters, explodes if the projectile has an explosion effect, and disappears. However, some effects change the projectile hit behavior.

Effect types

At most one effect may be applied per hit. The effects are listed in order of priority.

Pierce

Main page: Pierce

The projectile passes through the enemy and continues along its previous trajectory. Once a projectile has exhausted its pierce count, one of the other effects listed in this section may apply.

Fork

The projectile splits into two identical projectiles which each travel at a 60 degree angle from the projectile's original path. A projectile can only fork once.

Sources of fork include:

    The rest of us must leave our mark with our blood
    or the blood of others.

Chain

The projectile chooses a target within a certain radius, and travels in the direction of that target. A target cannot be hit twice by the same projectile. If a skill produces multiple projectiles at once and chains, none of the projectiles may chain to an enemy which has already been struck by a projectile from the same attack or cast. If there are no valid targets in range of the original enemy, it will target an enemy but not hit, instead passing through. Chain has a specified number of iterations.

    1. The first projectile hits an enemy, and succeeds its piercing check, and continues on.
    2. There are no more enemies in its flight path, and it flies into a wall and explodes.
    • The second projectile
    1. The second projectile hits an enemy but fails its piercing check. Since it is the descendant of a projectile that forked, it cannot fork. The projectile and none of its ancestors have chained yet, so it can still chain two times. It chains and flies backwards towards the previous enemy.
    2. It hits the enemy, succeeds its piercing check, and continues on.
    3. It hits another enemy and fails to pierce, but can still chain one more time. It chains towards a nearby enemy.
    4. It hits the enemy and again fails to pierce. It cannot fork, and has run out of chains, so it finally explodes, dealing Fireball's area of effect damage.

Version history

Version Changes
3.0.0
  • Pierce has been reworked. Items and skills that used to use or provide pierce chance now instead use or provide a number of pierces. Once a projectile has reached its pierce limit, it will not pierce further.
2.2.2
  • Fixed a bug where 100% pierce chance would not grant increased damage for appropriate skills.
  • Fixing an issue where projectiles did not appear to pierce on the client.
