1-# Point Blank
2-**Point Blank** is a [Keystone ](https://poedb.tw/us/Keystone) [[passive skill]] that scales the damage of projectile attacks with respect to the distance the projectile has travelled, dealing more damage initially then much less damage after covering a long distance.
1+# Character class
32
4-## Mechanics
5-The projectile deals the greatest amount when initially released, the attack damage will continue decreasing until the maximum projectile distance according to the table below. It is important to note that damage scaling is done with respect to the total distance the projectile has travelled, not its current distance from the point of origin. If the projectile changes direction—as is the case with [[Spectral Throw]]—distance travelled continues to increase as the projectile returns to its point of origin. Projectiles that travel in multiple segments (such as [[Arrow Nova Support]]) include the payload distance in the damage penalty.
3+Path of Exile uses three main [[attribute]]s – [[strength]], [[dexterity]], and [[intelligence]] – and its seven playable character classes (also called core classes) are each associated with one or more attributes. The player chooses a class for his character in the character creation screen. A newly created character starts its journey through Wraeclast at Twilight Strand. Each character class has a different starting location on the passive skill tree, starting attributes and statistics and quest rewards. Later, upon completing the Labyrinth, players can specialize their character by choosing an Ascendancy subclass. The subclasses available depend on the character class chosen.

32-## Interactions
33-### Skill gem and passive skill
11+Players can use any items or skills, providing they meet the relevant attribute and level requirements. This gives players the freedom to highly customize their characters and design creative builds with unusual play styles. For new players, however, it is generally easiest to invest in the attributes appropriate to their character class.
3412
35-[[Point Blank Support]] does not stack with the passive skill. A skill either has Point Blank or does not.
13+## Pure Characters
14+There are three "pure" characters, classes that are aligned with one of the three core attributes.
3615
37-### Attacks only
38-The Point Blank effect only works with projectile attacks, such as those made with a bow or wand. It does apply to [[Lightning Strike]]'s and [[Molten Strike]]'s projectiles, but won't work on spells like [[Ethereal Knives]] and [[Freezing Pulse]].
16+### Strength
3917
40-### Fork, pierce and chain
41-A projectile which pierces, chains or forks is still considered the same projectile, and its total travel distance is used.

43-### At Close Range
44-[[Chin Sol]]'s more damage at close range is not Point Blank and thus stack multiplicatively.
20+[[Strength]] confers raw brute power, and its character class is the [[Marauder]]. He wields maces to deal high physical damage, and Strength armour pieces grant him physical damage reduction. Monsters aligned with Strength generally hit hard and take many blows to defeat. The element aligned with Strength is [[fire]]. The Marauder's Ascendancy classes are [[Juggernaut]], [[Berserker]], and [[Chieftain]].
4521
46-### Projectile attacks with AoE
47-Point blank bonuses are calculated based on the distance from where it was fired to the enemy hit.
22+The Marauder starts with the following attributes:
4823
49-### Projectile speed
50-Projectile speed does not modify the scaling of point blank at all.
24+- 32 STR
25+- 14 DEX
26+- 14 INT

52-### Far Shot
53-[[Point Blank]] and [[Far shot]] are multiplied together, and thus helps counteract the damage falloff at distance.
28+### Dexterity

57-## Location
58-Point Blank is located in the southeast edge of the tree.
32+[[Dexterity]] confers agility in combat, and its character class is the [[Ranger]]. She uses bows and rapiers to attack quickly and accurately, and Dexterity armour pieces grant her the ability to evade enemy blows more often. Monsters aligned with Dexterity are nimble and difficult to hit, often attacking from a distance or with multiple weapons. The element aligned with Dexterity is [[cold]]. The Ranger's Ascendancy classes are [[Deadeye]], [[Raider]], and [[Pathfinder]].

44+[[Intelligence]] confers knowledge – of both arcane magic and deadly combat techniques – and its character class is the [[Witch]]. She wields weapons like the wand and sceptre with improved critical strikes, and her Intelligence armour pieces grant the wearer a mystical energy shield which protects them from damage and can recharge when they are out of combat. Monsters aligned with intelligence are often spell-casters who can be dangerous if not immediately dealt with. The element aligned with Intelligence is [[lightning]]. The Witch's Ascendancy classes are [[Necromancer]], [[Elementalist]], and [[Occultist]].

52+## Hybrid Characters
53+There are four "hybrid" character classes in Path of Exile that use a combination of attributes.
54+
55+### Strength/Dexterity
56+
57+![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/29Ct8RG.png)
58+
59+The Duelist excels at both [[Strength]] and [[Dexterity]] skills, and fights with swords and axes. He utilizes both the attack speed and evasion from Dexterity and the damage and armour of Strength to quickly deal large amounts of damage while staying safe from physical attacks. The Duelist's Ascendancy classes are [[Slayer]], [[Gladiator]], and [[Champion]].
60+
61+The Duelist starts with the following attributes:
62+
63+- 23 STR
64+- 23 DEX
65+- 14 INT
66+
67+### Strength/Intelligence
68+
69+![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/I9CLJcO.png)
70+
71+The [[Templar]] represents Strength and Intelligence, and fights with staves and sceptres. He can become a powerful spellcaster or use his elemental damage to perform strong melee attacks. The Templar's Ascendancy classes are [[Inquisitor]], [[Hierophant]], and [[Guardian]].
72+
73+The Templar starts with the following attributes:
74+
75+- 23 STR
76+- 14 DEX
77+- 23 INT
78+
79+### Dexterity/Intelligence
80+
81+![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/0XEBQzJ.png)
82+
83+The [[Shadow]] is proficient with Dexterity and Intelligence skills, and fights with daggers and claws. He can deal strong critical strikes with weapons or spells, and his traps and mines can disable enemies or deal high damage. The Shadow's Ascendancy classes are [[Assassin]], [[Saboteur]], and [[Trickster]].
84+
85+The Shadow starts with the following attributes:
86+
87+- 14 STR
88+- 23 DEX
89+- 23 INT
90+
91+### Strength/Dexterity/Intelligence
92+
93+![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/hiTsXbz.png)
94+
95+The [[Scion]] is aligned with all three attributes, and is therefore the most flexible class in terms of character design and skill use. She starts at the center of the passive skill tree. The Scion has one Ascendancy Class: the [[Ascendant]].
96+
97+The Scion starts with the following attributes:
98+
99+- 20 STR
100+- 20 DEX
101+- 20 INT
102+
103+## Other
104+Characters, monsters, and items can all be associated with multiple attributes at once. For example, a staff weapon is generally about 70% strength and 30% intelligence. It differs from a maul (which could be 100% strength) because it is better at scoring critical strikes, but doesn't hit for as much raw physical damage.
