1st off: your avatar is amazing.
on topic: I use it when doing barrage+splinter weapon because it adds that minimal amount of dmg on top. its really good with max norn thou.

Yes, I am the Strongest and Splinter Barrage or Conjure Barrage are both very handy things and they add a nice extra bit of damage if you are able to get several things bunched up

This doesn't happen to me, 2 barrages are enough to finish "I Am the Strongest!". To me.

Then you're only hitting one target. Both splinter weapon and I am the Strongest treat each arrow as a seperate attack.

barrage is good for facing lots of enemies that bunch up
if not you'd better go with burning arrow or brutal arrows

If enemies are in large groups, Splinter Weapon + Barrage >>>>>> I am the strongest + Barrage.
If enemies aren't in large groups, Barrage fails.

Tested this. I'm afraid you're mistaken. Each arrow is counted as 1 attack.

Exactly in how many places to 5+ enemies consistently clump together in adjacent range? Splinter + Volley > Barrage any day.

Where did you test this?

Were you hitting more than one target with your Barrage or Volley?

qft, all you need is someone who doesn't suck at pulling and you'll always get mobs that make barrage hit it's potential.

What Orange Milk said.
Furthermore, are you sure the +bonus damage is applied to each arrow, or only the first one that hits/orignal targeted enemy.

I don't know how this was tested above, but when I used "I am the strongest" with a 6 attack limit. (Level 5 norn) I only got two shots off on a group of 3 before the icon was gone.
