Feathered Fletching and Acceleration Not Working

Noticed after grabbing Feathered Fletching for projectile speed to damage, that the acceleration support gem doesn't seem to be buffing projectile damage(going off the skill dps tool tip under skills). Oddly when I swap the acceleration gem on and off, it moves the projectile speed stat from projectiles sections into the top section as well. Could be just a tooltip issue, but hard to test.

Ran into the same issue. DPS doesn't change after taking the passive and putting in an acceleration gem.

Same issue here - Lightning Arrow.

yep same issue, well i hope they notice that right now it don't work at all that is a huge nerf for some build when you want to gain a bit more damage with projectile speed

Pretty sure the reason is that Acceleration gives "More" not "Increased" and as such does not contribute to the damage of Feathered Fletching but I could be wrong. Was using it myself earlier but swapped it for Primal Armament instead. Would be nice if it did work though.

This is the answer. Even with years of experience in POE 1 I still fell into this trap b.c I wasn't paying attention.

Feathered Fletching only works with "INCREASES" ie "increased" not "more".

Gotta look for increased on gear and other passive tree nodes.

For example you can get up to 42% "increased" projectile speed, as of the time I'm writing this, on an ilevel 82 Quiver.

-----------------------------------

INCREASED is additive:

- 200% speed with 50% increased speed is 200 + 50 = 250% speed total.

MORE is multiplicative:

- 200% speed with 50% more speed is 200 * 1.50 = 300%.
