Barrage is a ranged attack skill that fires all of your bow or wand projectiles rapidly in succession.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Attack time vs projectile count: Barrage fires 5 projectiles by default, and can be increased through various modifiers. 40% of the attack time is spent winding up, and the remaining 60% of the attack time is distributed equally between each fired projectile.[1] Additional projectiles will reduce the time between each fired projectile and increase the number of hits per second, but has no impact on the overall attack time.

Version history

Version Changes
3.23.0
  • Quality now causes the skill to Fire +0-1 Projectile, instead of providing 0-10% increased Projectile Damage.
  • Alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments and unique threshold jewels are all systems that were trying to subtly modify the behaviour of skills. With this expansion these have been combined into a new system called Transfigured Gems that allows us to fully achieve the goal of these three systems, and then some.
  • Transfigured Gems are alternate versions of existing skill gems that have different functionality and balance than their regular versions. We have added many of these, with interesting variations that drastically change how existing skills play.
  • Anomalous, Divergent and Phantasmal Quality Gems have been removed from the game. Existing alternate Quality Gems now have the base Quality effect found on the respective Gem.
  • Many Skill Gems now display the total number of projectiles or arrows they fire, instead of how many additional ones.
3.15.0
  • Now deals 47% of base Attack Damage at gem level 1 (previously 40%), up to 54.6% of base Attack Damage at gem level 20 (previously 47.6%).
  • Now has 47% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 40%), up to 54.6% at gem level 20 (previously 48%).
3.12.0
  • Now has alternative gem quality:[3]
Anomalous: 1% chance to Knock Enemies Back on hit (per 1% quality)
