Multiple Shot

Key details

• Only 3/4 of the Damage is taken from your weapon.
• You can vary the spread of Multiple Shot depending on how far away the mouse pointer is when you fire.
• Clicking next to the player character will result in a very wide spread, and clicking further away will narrow the spread.
• Holding down shift or assigning the skill to right-click will allow you to fire in place without selecting or accidentally moving toward a monster.
• Multishot can be a good choice to focus in and is an effective skill on all difficulty levels.
• Multishot is highly effective to use when trying to hit monsters off-screen or monsters that are moving around really quickly.
• When paired with % Mana Steal and % Life Steal, Multishot can quickly fill your Life to full and regain Mana to full.
• Multishot is subject to a 4 frame Next Hit Delay.
• As a consequence of this, Multishot will only hit a target with one of the many Arrows, no matter how many appear to be hitting the monster.
• Certain effects related to hitting a target with a weapon are only applied to the middle two Arrows of the volley.
• These effects are:
• Crushing Blow
• Open Wounds
• Chance to Cast on Striking
• Hit Blinds Target
• Hit Causes Monster to Flee
• Freezes Target
• Knockback
• Slows Target If an even number of projectiles are fired, the middle two carry the effects.
• If an odd number are fired, the middle projectile and the one to its right carry the effects.
• Multishot increases in Mana Cost with more points so you will need to counter this cost with a higher % Mana Steal or other ways to restore mana.
• You may not wish to place 20 points into this skill.
• The number of missiles is capped at 24 at slvl 23.
• At higher levels only the mana cost increases.
• There is probably an ideal level for your characters, some suggest 6, or less than 10, depending on skill bonuses from equipment.
