Exploding Arrow

Template:D2 BCS Another gift of Hefaetrus, an Amazon warrior practiced in this skill can imbue the arrows that she fires with the ability to explode upon impact. The resulting detonation not only allows her to damage her intended target, but also anything caught within the explosive blast. The sight of a full battalion of Amazon archers firing a volley of such arrows is eerily beautiful. Many warriors, having witnessed good friends consumed by the flames of these arrows, vow never to fight against Amazon warriors ever again.

• Explodes on impact or expiry regardless of whether or not the arrow's hit-check is successful, and applies fire damage within radius. A successful hit-check is required for Pierce to be effective: an arrow that pierces four targets and hits five will explode on each impact.

95% chance-to-hit and 100% piercing results in approximately 81.5% chance of a single arrow piercing four times and applying explosion damage up to five times each to targets that are close enough together.

• Amazon attack rate.
• +% Attack Rating isn't applied, even though the character screen calculates and displays AR as though it is. [1] +% AR from other sources is applied.
• Skill damage is only applied by the explosion, while attack fire damage (including that from Enchant and Holy Fire) is added to both the arrow and the explosion. +% Fire Skill Damage only applies to skill damage.
• Explosion damage cannot be blocked.
