Questions about void shot

1. void shot is just area damage, right? so you can enhance it with mods that give increased aoe / increased aoe damage?

2. can the void shot explosions overlap for, say, double damage on a single target?

3. can void shot chill/freeze/stun?

Yes
Yes
Yes

It's really good with Barrage.

actually, i hate barrage, i just use it with ice shot - 3 or 5 projectiles. was wondering.. if my aoe is large enough, would the void shot explosions from 2 adjacent projectiles overlap?

For GMP, they don't overlap, as they are the same attack. But for barrage, all voidshots are being released at once, as separate attacks at same location, damaging same target.

thanks.

here's another question: if i have a total of 60% increased area damage from a cluster jewel, that means that i have, essentially, 60% more void shot damage, right?

Nah, it's added on top of other damage increases such as inc projectile damage, inc cold damage, etc.

right, except void shot isnt a projectile, right?

Still.. sorry, but i want to get this right.. wiki says that void shot deals 120% of base attack damage, on top of which theres a 100% more area damage multiplier. what is this ”base attack damage”?

The Void Shot explosion was born out of a projectile hence it gets modified by increases/reductions to projectile damage.

Base attack is your auto attack, the one you perform when you run out of mana.

The 100% More is applied near the end of the calculation (but still before "penetration" and "Enemies Take increase damage"). Not going to be 160% More on top of what you already getting.

You can add number of "global projectiles" (not GMP because it is "local") using Dying Sun, Death's Opus and Deadeye's ascendancy notable, increase AoE size, and hope the explosions overlap.
