How Multishot II fits a setup

Multishot II is a tier-two projectile support. It adds two projectiles to a supported skill and applies separate penalties to damage and skill speed in the source record. Those three lines need to be evaluated together. Adding two projectiles is not automatically equivalent to tripling single-target damage, because the receiving skill determines how its projectiles behave.

The distinction is especially useful when comparing bow and crossbow attacks. PoE2DB's weapon description explains that crossbow projectiles can have their own sequence and hit rules. A support demonstration for one attack therefore does not establish identical behaviour for every other projectile skill. Read the active skill's tags and support compatibility before choosing this gem. The Dexterity requirement is another independent condition, while the tier identifies which Uncut Support Gem is needed to engrave it. Neither an Uncut Skill Gem nor an Uncut Spirit Gem is the correct acquisition category. There is no recommended-support list here because Multishot II is itself the support. Ranger and Mercenary supply useful class comparisons for projectile attacks, and the weapons hub separates bows from two-handed crossbows. Use that distinction alongside the damage and speed penalties when comparing clear coverage with a boss-focused setup.
