Recently I've revisited the old replacement for skills such as Strafe and Multishot and changed them again to adapt to the new situation of custom ammo (Phasing Arrows, Confusion Bolts, Acid Arrows, Burning Bolts, Ice Arrows et alia). Two major differences to this type of ability is that they now use the ammo you have equipped (think in a vanilla context where strafe with "Fires Magic Arrows" would actually fire those, same for multishot) --- This means you can send out a salvo of fire arrows if you use those as your ammo an so on. The other major change is that these abilities are now more realistic in another way, they consume the actual ammo instead of only 1 (in case of vanilla multi).
Multishot using Fire Arrows
Multishot using Ice Arrows
And the bow, as a random addition
It has a few new stats on it, most prominent being the altered ammo usage.

If you can shoot multishot with ice arrows then does that mean you could have freezing arrows with area dmg/freezing?

Yes, the vanilla arrow skills are ammo types now, but they are not as cheap as regular arrows (obviously I guess) so using them with MS/stafe/FoA can become quite expensive rather quickly, so it's something to reserve for certain situations rather then use as a default option.
