-*Value normally corresponds to the number of times each missile collides with a target (and thus applies damage) per second: those with 41 typically apply damage every frame (25 times per second), those with 82 typically apply damage every other frame (25/2 times per second) with a stream of missiles (although Arctic Blast is 41, it should be in this category with Inferno). [http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=34934&view=findpost&p=912025] Wake of Fire can apply damage every 5 frames (5 times per second) due to its 4 frame Next Delay.
-*Vast majority apply [[Fire Damage]], although Arctic Blast applies [[Cold Damage]], {{Ub|=Diablo}} firestorm applies fire and physical damage and {{Ub|=Diablo}} lightning applies [[Lightning Damage]] and physical damage.
-*Intent is to prevent integer damage reduction from being too powerful a counter when small amounts of damage are applied by multiple missile collisions. In Hell {{Ub|=Diablo}} lightning only applies maximum 26.25 base physical and 52.5 lightning damage per collision, which would otherwise be easily negated by DR 40 and [[Lightning Resist]] 75% (base physical damage would be negated and excess DR would then negate base lightning damage after resistance applied); but due to this modification, DR '''492''' (an impossible amount in an unmodified game) is actually required to achieve this (DR 40 and LR 75% only reduce maximum base damage by ~46%).
-*However, since damage is typically smaller the more missile collisions are used to apply it, this modification is normally less effective as the number of missile collisions involved increases. In Hell {{Ub|=Diablo}} firestorm only applies maximum base 2 <sub>48/256</sub> fire and <sub>240/256</sub> physical damage per collision, although up to 30 missiles can collide with a player with each cast and each missile can apply damage up to 35 times, resulting in up to '''1,050''' collisions (compared to just 17 collisions for each lightning cast at a single stationary target); thus despite the modification, DR 37 and [[Fire Resist]] 75% would still negate base physical damage and excess DR would then negate base fire damage after resistance applied.
