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

i misread what u wrote.

This skill still makes playing laggy. I use totem + lmp + ice shot and the first few shots of it lag alot. I am not allowed to use it in partys ... :(

Please fix it soon, cause its a funny skill.

The skills produces immense lag. I am using it with pierce, nearly 100%, faster attacks and lesser multiple projectiles at the moment. Especially when shooting into large groups of mobs, there is intense lag, not just for me but for every other player in the party I have played with so far.

PLEASE FIX FAST =(

I'm working on making an ice shot character. My goal is high hp at this point, debating playing hardcore or softcore. I want to take advantage of point blank but I don't fully understand it. Plan isn't to tank but to be able to play with getting close enough to take advantage and spread my damage on backwards. Thinking ice shot plus weapon ele damage, pierce, and then maybe chain, maybe mana leech or blood magic and life leech. Really not sure at this point, need to iron this out before trying it, I'm sure others have figured out what supports make this effective. I plan to make several builds and then go with one, but I need some help on it. Choice of class is not set in stone so I will try several.


Here is my first ranger build. Can't find the marauder one I made the other day. But will remake and post here. I've toyed with aoe passives and a few other things but not sure exactly what's going to work just yet.



AOE templar, doesn't seem ideal as far as I know but if concentrated effect works this could be powerful. I'll make a templar version without it soon.





Give me some feedback, I will update this post with other builds so I don't clutter the skill gem page, plus place results and final choices here.

I could use info on how projectiles weapon ele damage and things work with projectiles etc, I don't want to waste some passives here. Also things to consider like accuracy etc. It doesn't seem like a build that would benefit much from crit? Plan is a fairly high physical and fast bow, with some ele % bonusses and flat ele damage where I can find it.

Making a ranger, this has more points obviously, but will be similar, but will add or remove, ele damage, life, or aoe depending on how I like it, and if I don't like it can grab life regen and a few things south of duelist, or quite a few other options, could even change my path out of the int area and take a different route to templar start. but for now going towards templar area then grabbing aoe nodes.

Is the sector created by the hit still teeny tiny? A boost in radius would be nice if it still is..

I am running a LA ranger w/ Ice shot+ GMP + range totem,
and the lagginess is crazy.

LA is totally fine and smooth. However the first time using Ice shot in a map,
my screen always stills about 5 sec, and after that every ice shot hitted also cause "freezing" effect.

it is a cool skill and I really like it :) but it hurts playing experience.
Please revise your coding & performance, thank you!

Still low level, but no fps issues yet with this skill. Linked pierce and fork to it, so far prefer that than lmp. Anyone have ways to recover mana? Using lvl 2 clarity and mana flasks right now. Mana leech is lvl 31.
It seems like a decent skill so far but I'm also using poison arrow to assist.
Fork is helpful for when mobs are side by side and not lined up. Will try chain in the future but doubt I would use it in the end.

Hi, I noticed that after 1.10.4 the visual effect of Ice shot is changed,
and it no longer cause extensive frame rate drop! that was awesome!

its still laggy alot !! i almost lost my char when my screen freeze! please put some option tu remove this effect or something like remove skill effects !!!!! i have one ATI 7970 and its laggy !

Does Concentrated Effect work with this skill?
