Barrage arrows are attacks, so it will work.

Just tested Ebon Dust Aura with Cyclone Axe and Barrage and it will apply the blindness to every target you hit.

To test Barrage, I put Arcane Mimicry on my Dervish (along w/EDA and Dust Cloak) and Barrage on a hero...mimicked Barrage, activated the other two skills and attacked the aggro circle dummies on the isle of the nameless. The condition icon showed up on every target hit by Barrage...could see the dark speckly cloud on them too.

Made Koss a W/D to test Cyclone Axe. Similar results.

Did your bow do earth damage? You need to do earth damage to activate the blindness. That took me a bit of time to remember and get around myself.

First I tried Arcane Thievering the skill, but that only works on enemies. Which is why I made my Dervish a D/Me and used Arcane Mimicry to get the Barrage elite from another hero, while having the 2 Derv. skills on my Dervish.

I'm really offended by your quote:"For the incredibly dim", it is rude and unnecessary. This is still a game not an IQ test.

Since I like making vague, shorthand posts... rather than change that, I sometimes just give a detailed explanation somewhere... along with my typical lowscale biting criticism for people who desperately need fundamental ideas explained.

[Yes... I do tend to be arrogant and antisocial... but I assure you its entirely genetic. You can blame my parents.]

Also why blame your parents? It's not funny and you show no respect for them!

[sarcasm]Plus "shorthand" is a completly different way of writing, which I'm not sure you know how to do![/sarcasm]

As far as I'm concerned, the fault is with the offendee, not the offendor. If you're offended then its because you're not in proper control of your emotions. If you were then you wouldn't give a damn. Afterall... you cannot dictate the actions and responses of others; only your own.
You probably hadn't picked this up, but there are very few things in this world that offend me (I do try to avoid being a hypocrite where possible).

Besides... life is unnecessary. Everything is unnecessary. Even mentioning that is superfluous (and typically indicative of the kind of society-favouring conservative attitude I tend to clash with on a regular basis).

Showing respect for them here is entirely irrelevant. I got my genome from them, so any behavioural patterns dependant on genetic coding are in some respect their fault (and the blame could be passed back through their parents, their grandparents and right back to whatever unknown points in history the mutations occurred that caused the genes to come into being).
Besides... its not as if they're any more special than anyone else on the planet. My father is dead and my mother has done her job and moved to another country (and as such I have little further use for her).

If that is so then I apologise for using what I thought was a general term under a definition other than that which it is understandably assigned. I'll try to find a substitute word next time (if such occurs).

I only will say your lack of sensibility/feeling is astounding!

No further comments on my part, you scare me!

You're easily scared, I take it.
Lack of feeling makes me stronger. I'm not sure why it surprises you so. Its not that difficult to achieve.
