I have a question regarding damage calculation of Explosive arrow that I can't find the answer for.

Assume I have two EA set-ups - One 6-link "self-cast" set-up, and one 4-link set-up where EA is linked to Ballista totem.

Assume I use both set-ups to apply 20 arrows on the enemy before the explosion. Is the damage of the explosion based on the set-up that landed the first arrow on the enemy? IE if my 6-link set-up hit the first arrow, will the damage of the explosion be higher than if the 4-link set-up hit the first arrow? Or is the damage of the explosion simply a sum of all 20 arrows, meaning the damage of the explosion is independent of which set-up that hit the enemy first?

/u/Mark_GGG - Do you know?

Each arrow contributes it's own explosion damage, all of them being combined together into a single hit against each target in range of the explosion.

The initial arrow is the one used to determine which things are hit by the combined explosion, so if they have different area modifiers, the first one is what matters.
