Splash Damage

Splash damage deals damage in a cone-shape in front of the character. Only a successful melee attack on an enemy can trigger the splash effect. By increasing the area of effect (AoE) of melee attacks, this item goes some way to balancing the clear speed gap between caster and melee builds.

Therefore, to view your melee splash damage, switch to Normal Attack on your left or right click skill and open your character sheet. Just like Normal Attack, splash damage is 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.
