Shrapnel Ballista is a bow attack skill. It summons a ballista totem that fires multiple arrows in a cone. Its damage scales on the player's bow damage.
Skill functions and interactions
Ballista: Shrapnel Ballista is part of the ballista sub-class of totems. Ballista totems have inherent added totem limit. They have a much shorter summoning range, spawning much closer to the summoner.
"Shotgunning": Shrapnel Ballista holds the unique distinction of being the only projectile skill in the game that is capable of hitting a single enemy with more than one projectile fired in a single attack or cast. As such, this skill can be used to kill multiple targets, or can be used to cause massive damage to a single enemy.
