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.

oh great. i was afraid that each arrow would count as an attack and cancel out iats in 1 volley. guess that's not true

stretchs · Apr 29, 2008, 07:23 PM // 19:23

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

I believe each arrow does count as an attack.....

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.

Miska Bow · Apr 30, 2008, 10:33 PM // 22:33

Just finished testing this.

Barrage, volley+IATS: icone is up for all 7 shot
no use of any attack skills : icon is up for 7 shot

If its a bug, i like it.

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

tekDragon · May 01, 2008, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Actually that happens in plenty of places if you pull properly.

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.
