Ice Shot
|
the AoE is a convert based damage, 100% of physical hit turns into cold for the AoE. projectile damage works on both physical and elemental regardless of a damage convert. physical works but i don't know if the AoE is still considered weapon for weapon elemental.

Anyone know if you can knockback a target you hit into the aoe cone?

"The target hit by the arrow cannot be hit by the AoE damage as well - it is explicitly excluded from the check (otherwise it'd always get double damage, as it's technically in the arc) | |

Does the passive mana leech work with AoE damage, since it's fully ice damage, and not physical? Does the mana leech from weapons work also?
What I've noticed is that when you hit an pack of enemies with Ice shot, more than one seem to be hit by initial shot, and then AoE cold also does damage to multiple enemies behind the first line. Is this true or am I just seeing it wrong (maybe it's the AoE in fact that does the inital damage to more than one enemy)? „I don't give a fuck if it was his tenth anniversary with his goddamn neckbeard...“
„If they think I'm going to let them sweep this pizza guy thing under the rug...“ No mod action. Business as usual. | |
"Any mana leech, such as from passives and gear, that is limited to physical damage only will not work on the AoE damage, which is entirely cold damage. "This. The arrow only hits one target, but the AoE occurs at the exact same time. It also leaves some ground ice on the ground after the hit, which may be what's confusing you - that doesn't do damage, it just chills things standing in it. | |
"nice to know finally as i couldn't get to this skill or arctic breath. breath's ground ice is same effect right? people been wanting to do a cold to fire for the ground ice. | |

Does Concentrated Effect work with Ice Shot?
| |
|
Since the inclusion of the skill in early game, I've been curious as to the exact mechanics of Ice Shot in these regards:
1) Explosion arc - what is the angle of the explosion on contact? I would like to know if it is possible to have a LMP/GMP put on Ice Shot, fire off a tight cone (in close range), and have more than one of the AoE's trigger on an enemy behind (like overlapping Freezing Pulse). 2) Explosion range - how far back does the explosion reach? Is this range consistent at all points of the arc? For example, is the resulting AoE more like a cone (distance from origin to end points consistent throughout) or a spike (distance from origin farthest directly behind, grows shorter towards sides of arc)? 2) Interaction with Concentrated Effect - how are the above factors affected by this support skill gem? Decrease to one factor, or both? Last edited by Freddles on Jan 26, 2013, 5:58:56 PM

This skill is causing crazy fps drops for lots of people now.

+1 to the crazy fps drop. I have literally had to change my build and swap out from ice shot due to fear of dying on hardcore at 53. Lightning, fire, explosive, split shots do not lag me, but ice shot lags me the first few times I use it in EVERY new instance, and then randomly after! Please fix because I love this skill :<
