Shrapnel Shot is a ranged attack skill that fires an arrow which deals lightning damage to nearby enemies in a cone in front of the player.

Skill functions and interactions

• Damage conversion: Like all converted damage, the lightning portion of Shrapnel Shot's damage will be modified by both lightning damage and physical damage increases.
• Projectile damage: Both the attack cone and the fired arrow are modified by projectile damage modifiers. The Point Blank effect will also apply to both since it modifies projectile attack damage. Area damage modifiers (like Concentrated Effect SupportConcentrated Effect SupportSupport, AoE

The cone and arrow deal damage independent of each other, effectively doubling damage dealt to monsters directly in the line of fire.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.9.0	Now fires 2 additional Arrows at all levels. The arrows now degrade in flight, eventually vanishing. This limits the skill's base range. Modifiers to Projectile Speed will allow the arrows to travel farther before they vanish. Still deals a burst of damage in a cone. Increases and reductions to Arrow Speed also apply to this skill's area of effect, so increases to Projectile Speed will cause your cone to also reach farther. Now gains added Lightning Damage as the gem levels, up to 9 to 179 at gem level 20. Now gains 1% increased Projectile Speed per 1% gem quality (from 1% increased Area of Effect per 2% gem quality). Arrows no longer pierce by default.
3.2.0	Shrapnel Shot now converts 50% of Physical Damage to Lightning Damage (up from 40%).
3.0.0	Shrapnel Shot pierces 4 targets at level 1, up to 7 at level 20.
2.6.0	Shrapnel Shot gains 1 additional unit of radius every 4 levels. No longer gain increased area of effect radius.
2.1.0	Added to the game.
