Does anyone know if Channeling Damage actually affects the direct hits of the projectile like the page claims? I've been testing for a while now (at 10m, 20m, and 30+m) and the overal damage has been consistently same with or without Channeling active. For example: direct hits against a level 150 heavy gunner would do anywhere from 200 to 249 damage if Channeling was on or off. I thought maybe because of the Riven I was using in my build (which had 127% bonus channeling damage), so I decided to switch it out with Killing Blow fully ranked and unranked and the results were exactly the same.

At farther ranges (specifically after the 30m threshold mark for the increased damage mechanic), it's harder to tell the if it's being affected or not do to the damage numbers varying widely.

Anyways, I just wanted to know maybe I'm doing something specifically wrong or maybe I'm misunderstanding how Channeling works with this Arcane (or that this page isn't correct that Channeling does not affect the projectile regardless).

Thanks a bunch!~
