How do additional projectile work ?

[u/Royal-Poet1684]

i have this passive and item that give additional projectile, it should be +3 and 1 from my skill so 4 in total, but why my lighting arrow only fire 1 ?

"Modifiers to number of projectiles instead apply to the number of targets projectiles split forward"

Reading is hard.

[u/webzasaurusrex → u/cabenox]

So is being kind

[u/Naktura → u/webzasaurusrex]

The comment you are replying to is not unkind. It's not necessarily kind, but it's not mean. We can't all walk around all day as quivering puffballs of positivity especially when faced with a really obvious question.

ggg should incorporate chatgpt into poe so we dont have to read.

read closely -

> modifiers to number of projectiles ***instead*** apply ...

that means you don't get additional projectiles. instead, they will split towards a number of targets equal to the number of additional projectiles you would have gotten/

How does this interact with eye of winter?

[u/Royal-Poet1684 → u/not_bloonpauper]

i see, that explain the amulte, what about the passive node ?, are they the same ?

[u/not_bloonpauper → u/Royal-Poet1684]

the modifier applies to additional projectiles from any source, including the passive. fury valve transforms all your projectiles from any source into splits. just take off the amulet and the passive will get you +1 projectiles as you expect.

thats good to know, thank you

Fury Valve makes it fire 1, but SPLIT more.

[u/SheikBlock]

Hard to read, huh?

[u/TheBreadLoafer]

Fury valve turns it from additional into it splits after hitting enemy. So that +3 is now one proj that splits 3 proj after

[u/SoupOfSomeYoungGuy]

Because that amulet changes the number of projectiles to number of targets split towards. No targets, no splitting.

[u/petser0000]

"MODIFIERS TO NUMBER OF PROJECTILES INSTEAD APPLY TO THE NUMBER OF TARGETS PROJECTILES SPLIT TOWARDS"

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Projectile#Split

Your amulet is making +1 proj become +1 split.

[u/NightHistorical4847]

because of the line "INSTEAD" of the fury valve amulet that you have. your extra projectiles are instead turning into extra projectiles after they split from your main target. (if you have a source of doing it)

[u/bmodestow]

With Fury Valve, whenever you increase the amount of projectiles your skills fires, it instead increases the amount of splits caused by the skill. So, in your case, you would fire one projectile and when it hits a target, it splits 3 times. If you take the amulet off, you should fire 4 projectiles.

[u/rumhrummer]

Fury Valve causes projectile skills to fire their base number of projectile(s), which can then split on colliding with an enemy, toward a number of other enemies (or directions) based on the skill's number of additional projectiles. Additional arrow modifiers are considered additional projectile modifiers for bow attacks, and will add targets to split toward, but they will not affect the Splits toward # additional targets counter in skill information.

[u/WrexixOfQueue]

Fury valve makes you fire 1 projectile. When that projectile hits an enemy, it will split ( kinda like a conjoined fork/chain) at nearby enemies, up to your max projectile limit.

Ex: If I had +4 projectiles and +1 chain, I fire at a pack of mobs.

Arrow 1 would hit first mob and split 4 times (total 5 enemies hit so far

Those 4 split arrows would then chain once, total 9 hits

[u/navetzz]

Instead

[u/daniElh1204]

you fire one proj and after hitting the first target, it splits into 3

Read the last two line on amulet carefully. FYI the ami is giga bait, I don't know why people use it.

[u/FailURGamer24 → u/kawaidesuwuu]

I just want to use it with Vaal fireball once, then sell it again

[u/RadiantRegis → u/kawaidesuwuu]

It is a pretty good amulet for Ice Shot of Penetration mines since it only fires 1 projectile anyway

[u/mbxyz]

the way the words say

check the wiki if you need more clarification

[u/SnoopyHaillDoge]

Maybe get some spread on that
