Splash Damage
Splash damage adds damage in a cone-shaped area around the targeted enemy. If the initial target is missed, a separate chance-to-hit is then calculated for each monster within the cone. By increasing the area of effect (AoE) of melee attacks, this item goes some way to balancing the clear speed between caster and melee builds.
Additional Information
Melee Splash damage is the same as your Normal Attack tooltip damage. To see your melee splash damage, switch to the Normal Attack skill and open your character sheet. The damage is therefore not affected by the triggering attack skills such a Sacrifice, Concentrate, Jab, etc. This is also true of attack rating bonuses on triggering attack skills. Here's an example of what affects the damage:
Affects Normal Attack skill & Melee Splash | Doesn't affect Normal Attack & Melee Splash |
---|---|
Auras like Might & Concentration | Sacrifice skill's +200% Damage/+25% Attack Rating |
Damage on gear like charms, gloves, runes, gems etc | Zeal skill's +10% Damage/+25% Attack Rating |
Weapons' damage & Enhanced Damage% on Armors | Jab skill's +30% Damage/+40% Attack Rating |
Passives like Barbarian masteries & Lycanthropy | Double Swing's +1% Damage/+15% Attack Rating |
Buffs like Enchant/Holy Fire's +Fire Damage to Attacks & Maul | Fire Claws' +15-20 Fire Damage/+50% Attack Rating |
- Bonuses to attack rating from the triggering attack skills such as Sacrifice or Concentrate don't apply to splash. It has the same attack rating as Normal Attack skill, just like damage.
- Chance to hit enemies by splash damage is calculated for each monster individually, according to the standard formula.
- On-Striking and On-Kill CTCs can trigger from splash damage.
- Despite Whirlwind now being able to trigger CTC stats, melee splash has been specifically disabled on Whirlwind.
- Melee Splash is considered 'ranged' damage and is therefore affected by ranged penalties & bonuses, e.g.: Crushing Blow, Life on Ranged Hit, etc.
- The splash has 2 frames of Next Hit Delay.
