As I mentioned above - Mathil's "Ice Shot/Barrage Raider" build. Here is his video on Youtube:https:

As you can see he is instantly firing off multiple attacks at the exact same time, but how can he when he isn't using any ability that automatically fires them off. Is he using macros? If so, why doesn't he mention that? Does not make any sense. Any insight would be much appreciated. I am lvling it up and don't see how this is even possible. I really want someone to explain. Thanks so much for at least replying - been waiting like a week.

I really don't see him using multiple different attacks at the same time. It's also impossible to do diferent attacks at the same time due to how the game is designed, even if you were to use a macro. What is possible is activating all flasks at the same time, but that's just pressing at buttons at once.

He uses 2 different attacks. The ice shot, linked to GMP and Chain is what causes all the projectiles and mass explosions. That 1 attacks fires 5-7 arrows at the same time, which then chain 2 times between enemies. The barrage is the single target attach which just shows a tight stream of arrows towards 1 enemie. So it may be that you are confusing the ice shot as using multiple attacks at the same time, but it isn't, it's part of the skill gem setup.

Does this answer ur question?

If not, please be a bit more specific and profide a timestamp of when you see this happening, and a descritpion of what you see as multiple attacks at the same time.

You totally answered my question. That makes total sense. So, he is using Barrage on single target bosses and alternating between Barrage and his AOE setup to clear trash. Okay thanks. I saw those icespikes popping with everything freezing and little circular explosions popping. However, at lvl 40, my cold shot looks totally different. I dont see everything on the map instantly freezing constantly or those circular explosions blowing up. It seemed from his video that he has more going off than simply Cold Shot. What causes those explosions to go off and why does everything freeze almost 100% of the time? Passives? Gear?

Thanks sooooooo much for your reply. I really really really appreciate it buddy :)

Regarding the Ice Shot/Barrage build.

For anyone using a 6L ice shot setup, I found the Increased Crit Strikes gem to work much better for mapping than the cold pen recommended by Mathil.

Whilst Cold Pen does give higher dps when you have your diamond flask up, the crit gem wins when you don't have that flask up (at least according to PoB with my gear). Also, the crit gem allows for much more reliable crits and thus freezes, making mapping much safer en enjoyable (icesplosions ftw). The crit strikes gem also makes Ice Shot have lower manna consumption 51 vs 63 with cold pen, so helps a bit if you run out of mana often.

Also, for anyone looking for a cheaper and tankier alternative to +1 Darkray Vectors, use a corrupted +1 frenzy Kaom's Roots. They are super cheap, give you 600 extra life and stun immunity. You do lose some damage and a chunk of movespeed though. So for general mapping Darkrays are better. Definately Kaom's for Guardian/Shaper though.

Well:
- Use 6L barrage setup with slightly different gems (ele focus instead of cold pen)
- Dying Sun flask
- +2 Barrage enchant on helmet
- 2 more lvls to get Winter Spirit Node

Boom, you're now at 3.58m Shaper DPS. My guess is though that you won't have Onslaught and power charges up for Shaper, so I disabled them in the Config. That still puts you at 3.06m Shaper deeps. Here's the adjusted PoB: https://pastebin.com/9EskjnLA

For more possible changes, you can use My PoB as reference. Gear is by no means perfect, but I'm just over 5m Shaper dps:
