Which skills can still shotgun and work with point blank?

I believe it's just a few skills that fall under both categories. Pleasem list them all.
Which skills can still shotgun? Any with AOE tag? Last edited by SunL4D2#6224 on Jul 15, 2016, 10:03:05 AM Last bumped on Jul 18, 2016, 8:35:59 AM

Projectiles themselves won't shotgun anymore, BUT any skill that has an explosion at the end of the projectile still has some level of shotgunning effect. Example -
Fireball Arctic Breath Explosive Arrow I'm not sure if other skill gems fall into this category, as I only answered off the top of my head. You might find more here: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Skill_gem YOUTUBE - http://www.youtube.com/richardbmiller2

tornado shot's secondary projectiles shotgun pretty well with 100% pierce, but it isn't an AoE skill.
Kinetic blast I believe does what you want. |

Vaal Burning Arrow. Five or more explosions at %Amazing base Damage. Good fun with Point Blank Traps, too. Nice thing about VBA is that it's targeted akin to Caustic Arrow, making it super easy to land all explosions.

Shotgunning was removed, area of effect overlap was not.
So anything that has area of effects where you can overlap multiple instances of it will do what your thinking about. Blast rain is the most obvious answer, since the basic skill itself works of this functionality. Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

Shrapnel shot will hit with both AoE and arrows, and is also a good PB candidate because of limited range. That's no shotgunning, unfortunately, and the skill itself is far from amazing.

" Imagine my disappointment when for some reason beyond logic AOE overlap did nothing for shrapnel shot. Rip LMP point blank shrapnel shot duelist. Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

" Yeah, he creates just one AoE on skill use, not one for every projectile. Kinda understandable, it would be fairly broken and devs are very careful with that. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

Thanks for the answers guys.
From all skils you mentioned (and it was my man - Vipermagi - :P), only Vaal Burning Arrow falls under both shotgunning and point blank category. I love this skill but it's a Vaal one, so it has it's own disadvantages. What about Caustic Arrow? Ice Shot and other bow attack skills with AOE? They don't fall under point blank category? Just found answer by myself via Wiki - CA doesn't work with Point Blank and Ice Shot AOE damage does not stack, so it's useless. So only VBA does both - shotgunning and gets point blank damage bonus? This kinda sucks... |
