Point Blank

Point Blank
Look your foe in the eyes before you pierce him. Delight in his fear.

For the support gem, see Point Blank (Support Gem).

The Point Blank keystone passive skill gives the following effects:

• Projectile attacks deal up to 50% more Damage to very close targets, but deal less Damage to farther away targets

Damage bonus/penalty is as follows:

• Distance 0 to 10: 50%
• Distance 10 to 35: scales linearly from 50% down to 0%
• Distance 35 to 120: scales linearly from 0% down to -100%

For reference, melee weapon range is 5 for one-handed and 6 for two-handed weapons, cold snap has an area of effect radius of 15, and 120 is the maximum distance it's possible to shoot an arrow - it's usually impossible to reach the maximum distance except sometimes when firing at the upper corners of the screen.

Attacks only

The Point Blank effect only works with projectile attacks, such as those made with a bow or wand. It does apply to Lightning Strike's projectiles, but won't work on spells like Ethereal Knives and Freezing Pulse.
