Rain of Arrows

Template:Gem Infobox Before they're given their first Long Bow, aspiring archers on Oriath are taught the art of the Arrow Rain. When the student is ready to be tested, he is taken out to the marshes, and commanded to fire a salvo at a flock of geese. The aspirant must bring down at least a dozen birds with one barrage, or it's back for another year of training and discipline.

Naturally, the Rain of Arrows technique is often used to devastating effect on the field of battle. A skilled archer fires a single enchanted missile aloft, and when it descends, it multiplies to carpet an entire area in a lethal shower. Be wary if you ever behold an enemy archer pointing their bow skyward.

Rain of Arrows is a ranged attack skill that fires a number of arrows in the air, dealing area of effect damage after a short delay.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Delay: Rain of Arrows will impact after a delay equal to the attack time, so the first attack will land as the second is being launched. Projectile Speed modifiers will speed up or shorten the delay.

Projectile Damage: Rain of Arrows deals projectile damage and will be affected by corresponding modifiers, though the gem is not considered to be a Projectile skill and cannot be supported by Projectile supports.
