Point Blank is a keystone passive skill that scales the damage of projectile attacks with respect to the distance the projectile has travelled, increasing damage initially then reducing damage after covering a long distance.
Mechanics
The projectile has a maximum damage increase of 30% more near the start of its travel (up to 10 units), then linearly scales down to no damage change at 35 units, then linearly scales down again to the maximum damage penalty of 30% less at 120 units.[1][2][3]
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.[4] If the projectile changes direction—as is the case with Spectral ThrowSpectral ThrowAttack, Projectile

Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality:
Projectiles that have Pierced deal (0.5-10)% more DamagePlace into an item socket of the right colour to gain this skill. Right click to remove from a socket.—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.[5]

Projectile speed
Projectile speed has no impact on the distances at which Point Blank's multipliers affect damage.
