If u throw my impetus spear and after that use kellens dagger to jump back will that distance be calculated into the damage calculation as well?

No, distance is calculated from point of release to point of impact.

If YOU do something to move further back just before release then you'll cancel your attack. HOWEVER, there are combos with allies to move you back just before release that does add to the damage - requires timing though.

It does. if you can time it right, use chen to test of faith you back to base, throw impetus right before u blink away and 400 dmg + first blood in some situations.

^ search youtube for vids of test of faith + impetus

@ topic no, from the point it was thrown like Wii<R>venom said

I think the way that test works (besides timing it right) is that since you're being teleported back to base, it counts you position as the base so even if you're close it will still deal max damage. The reason I think this is that on the vids I've seen, Enchantress uses impetus before immediately being teleported back to base (no timing required). If this is wrong, pease correct me.

It does. The damage is calculated from the distance of the target and Enchantress when the projectile hits the target.

Yes, capped at 400 damage.

Any more questions? Going to lock this topic if no more questions are asked.

If you mean if the projectile goes from a straight line, then, of course. Unless the target moves diagonally or in another non-straight way, it will move straight to the target.

Uhh what i meant is if you move around to the side, will that extra moved damage count, or could you rune the whole map and come back beside her and it on do 2 damage.

Depends on which side. As long as you move AWAY from the target. Just increase the distance between your target and you if you want to inflict more damage.

But normally you would do more damage orb walking him. In other words, 2 medium-ranged impetuses do more damage than 1 longer-ranged impetus.

blinking back from trowing point adds damage to impetus.

but even that additional damage does not warrant getting a blink dagger, other items are so much better

Unholy go ahead and lock the thread (no this was not bumped to get it locked, I was contributing to the thread)
