Ice Shot

Drillneck.
The aoe is pretty huge now compared to the old version.
i cry in act 3 because of monster version of this skill. i suppose i will cry harder now as i won't be able to escape nearly as easily =p
They buffed Ice Shot.
But even with 9k DMG damage seems low
Did iceshot get nerfed in 1.3.0?

If the arrow hits the target, then that same target can't be hit by any cones?

yes, it was a bug when hitting something that wasn't your target. causing double damage on that thing.
Well, more accurately, a monster cannot be hit by an arrow and the cone from that specific arrow. You should still be able to hit with multiple arrows/cones via LMP+Chain (for example).

Well, wouldn't fixing the bug technically nerf ice shot since it does reduced damage in 1.3.0? And would you know what happens if I don't target anyone on my cursor and just hold position shoot? Wouldn't that be better than manually targeting so all the mobs can be hit with arrow + cone?

Turns out, the explosion cone from ice shot could hit the same monster as the arrow. This is a bug, and I've now fixed it for 1.3.0, so thanks for prompting me to check that code before posting.

Currently, the explosion excludes the targeted object, not the object hit by the arrow. This means if you target one monster, and the arrow hits a different one that's closer, the explosion cone cannot hit the targeted monster, but can hit the one the arrow impacted (in addition to that one taking damage from the arrow). In 1.3.0, it will correctly exclude the object hit by the arrow, regardless of what's targeted.

hmmm, conc effect does not seem to do much for the dmg :/
The Damage display shows the initial arrow's Damage, which does not deal Area Damage.
