The length of the cone is extended (same as how Ground Slam works), and I presume the Ground Ice radius simply increases as per usual.

I'm enjoying the skill a lot with Pierce support gem. Great job!

I'm currently leveling an ice shot templar (http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/194576) around the concept of hitting multiple targets multiple times with the AoE elemental damage. If I use IS with GMP+Pierce+Increased AoE and other AoE increases, is it possible to hit a mob several times with the ice cone, similarly to chain?
I can't confirm this for myself yet due to the lack of AoE boosts, please answer. Thank you! Last edited by Opus93#4778 on Feb 27, 2013, 11:35:53 AM

Every individual hit creates a cone that hits all enemies in range.
(also, ResTech) My own Ice Shot Templar is built around using Pierce + WED + Ice Shot, and Projectile Weakness. When I fire into a pack, everything except the initial target flatout dies, because they're hit by at least two Ice Shot cones dealing full damage. It's brilliant. I occasionally just kill Rares with one arrow. :P Still only on Cruel, but my gear's also pretty shite, so I'm happy. The AoE is actually really friggen large even without AoE increases. |

Good to know, that's the same concept i'm basing my build on! :) Also, do you happen to know if hatred increases the damage of the cone burst? (probably not)

It does, actually! The cool thing (get it) about Damage Based on X is that it works off Base Damage; the cone still has Base Physical damage, so Hatred and Added Fire damage still work.

" Yea ice shot makes a lot of lag either from NPCs or from players. I think they are working on the issue but not 100% on that. |

Does every monster that stands in the patch of ice get chilled no matter how low the cold dmg from ice shot is?
Extreme example: A lvl 1 ice shot that does 10 cold dmg in Merciless Last edited by Pi314#5955 on Mar 2, 2013, 9:11:44 AM

Ground Ice always Chills; it doesn't deal damage, so it cannot derive a duration from anything.
