Questions about "EK" Ethereal Knives!

I'll try it out right now. If it does work, it would be a bug.

So to get everything straight! PB works with EK? I just wanna get that clear outta my mind so i can move on with that blank in my head. >.<

It doesn't. Ethereal Knives is a projectile spell, and Point Blank (both keystone passive and support gem) only works with projectile attacks.

Ok now it's off my mind! I saw many other posts too about this issue. You are right! ^_^ Thanks again!

What about Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Multiplier Nodes do those work with skills?

It depends. If the node says just "Critical Strike Chance" and "Critical Strike Multiplier" then yes it will work for, say, Ethereal Knives.

Here's some information on how critical strike modifiers in passive nodes and on equipment work:

• If a passive node says just "Increased Critical Strike Multiplier" or "Increased Critical Strike Chance" then it applies to everything.
• If it includes any specification, then it only works for it ("Increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells").
• If it includes any specification, but also includes the word "Global", then it works for everything, but only when the specification is met ("40% Increased Global Critical Strike Chance while wielding a Staff").
• As an item modifier, without the term "Global" or a specification, it will only work for skills using that item's base critical strike chance. If the term "Global" does show then, just as it does with passives, it applies to everything.

By the way, for those wondering, I just tested Ethereal Knives with and without the Point Blank keystone passive and I saw no difference.

Hi, I have a question about this skill. I just created an EK templar and I took the +% elemental dmg nodes so if I have a +x-y lightning dmg on a ring for example, will the lightning dmg affect EK? and if yes will those +% elemental dmg nodes affect EK dmg or will they be useless forever?

thanks
