Talk:Barrage

Im sitting here looking at barrage, and things just run through my mind, Barrage + Ignite Arrows, Barrage + Apply Poison. Do those work together? If so, this just screams mob control to me.
 * Barrage removes all preparations, so your idea doesn't work. It does work with vampire/zealous bow strings and with Order of Pain/Vampire though as well as the different Conjure enchantments. --theeth 12:34, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

progression table
Can ranger actually get up to 18+ marksmanship? did someone just made the high-end numbers up based on the pattern for the low-end? -PanSola 12:44, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Assuming it's not possible and editing. --Fyren 14:39, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I think the maximum is 17, 12(full attribute)+1(archer's mask)+3(superior rune)+1(weapon attribute), unless i've missed something --William Blackstaff 17:14, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * ditto William. I think how much barrage does at 17 Marksmanship should be actually checked rather than assumed.  Anet likes to play diminished returns afterall.  Use a super crappy bow to shot at some mobs with ultra high armor (so normal best damage is always 0 even for critical hits), and barrage 30 times ^^" -PanSola 19:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I think this page needs some updating.
The Talk page for Judge's Insight currently indicates that JI doesn't, in fact, treat all armor as 60. I think the Talk page about vampiric weapons (weapon upgrades?) had some conflicting things to say about whether vampiric actually adds extra damage or not, too. I'm not making the changes myself because I don't know have enough in-game experience with JI and vampiric weapons to figure out which version is correct. 130.58.235.187 05:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe JI does not treat all armor as 60 (that really was meant for pre-made PvP characters to easily figure out the math, since they are all level 20). Nonetheless, the comment here did not actually say JI does that.  It just says what JI's effect would be to a AL60 armor.  As for vampiric, I'm not sure.  In any case, it wouldn't be THIS page that needs updated.  We would have to sort out vampiric on its own page first, and once we figure out what's going on with that see if this page needs to be updated or not.
 * Hmm... "the equivalent of +23.11% damage vs a base armor level of 60". You're right: it doesn't actualyl say that JI resets all armor to 60 (though I think you can see how it's easy to see how someone reading both pages together could quickly misinterpret that). Nevermind, then. 130.58.235.187 05:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Question
Say you have a zealous bow string on, and you used barrage, would you get 6 energy?(Assuming that all arows hit)


 * Yes. Same holds true for a vampiric bow string. You would steal life from every monster hit.

"Watchful Spirit and Live Vicariously will, likewise, trigger multiple times[...]" Watchful Spirit?


 * Fixed it. --130.58 03:17, 15 March 2006 (CST)
