What's the point of Multi Shot?

[Maga]

Doesn't work for poisonous arrow too.
I mean, why would you use just worst and normal arrows that no one would use after they are capable of producing arrows

The chance for it to proc is ridiculously low from what I noticed. (Says 10% I think? I haven't played in a few weeks.) However, compared to my other character speced in one handed weapons and athletics, my archer hits super hard with arrows. I've had multi-shot hit two enemies at once, taking half health off each. They were facing me and they were about 2 levels above me. I was using scrap arrows in the second biome.
Mostly it does nothing though.

20% chance to proc. Works well with 0.6s bow speeds, you can spam at medium to close range, procs often enough, seen it chunk more than a mage when crit headshots hit. The new patch made it more viable. But if you don't like it try sneak sniper build from long range instead. Won't take them down as fast but you'll feel safer.

Poisonous arrows are not in Special Arrow category though
And it would be awesome if we could just toggle whether to use it for special arrows or not

I wouldn't worry too much about poisonous arrows, some enemies are immune and bosses iirc. But yeah I see what you mean. I think special arrows circumstantial, so bring normal arrows as well and equip where necessary.

tbh they should just make multishot work with all arrows and make the extra arrows free, add a small mana cost and paint the extra ones blue if need be. Hell if the bonus arrows are magic, make them homing too. Magic archer from DD:DA comes to mind for how it could look.
Chain reaction and shell shock also needs to work with all explossives (maybe not spells as it seems cross tree synergy is bad for some reason).
Then change the glider slow fall one to work from any height, allowing you to max payne all over them.
