[edit] Usage

Multiple Shot is a skill used by the Amazon in Diablo II. Multiple Shot is a skill which as its name states allows the Amazon to fire off more then one arrow. Multiple Shot while a good skill for area damage, however the downside is your damage is reduced to 3/4ths of your normal attack. Note that the penalty still applies to versions below 1.10, but it does not say on the skill, and is visible on the character stats menu when Multiple Shot is selected.

Hold down shift which will allow you to fire in place without moving after a monster.

[edit] History

Legend has it that the fabled Amazon archer, Palashia, bragged in her youth that she could best the combined skills of all her greatest rivals. Taking umbrage, her rivals gathered to challenge her outrageous boast, arranging a contest to decide the question. To preserve her honor, Palashia was to strike the targets of all her rivals before they could land a single arrow. When dawn arose on the day of the contest, Palashia stood ready with her bow. At the signal, her rivals nocked their arrows and loosed a volley towards their targets. Palashia gathered her energies, and let fly with her own, single arrow. To the amazement of onlookers, her arrow split into many, cleaving the arrows of her rivals, and moving on to strike every target directly in their centers. This mysterious technique quickly became a martial secret that only the finest archers are able to master.
