[edit] This skill is still a joke
As long as it's 10 energy and 10 recharge I'm going to laugh at it. Right now it's balanced for PvP.
- Right now it's balanced for PvP. I'm pretty sure this a PvE only skill. 72.81.104.224 17:46, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed. This does less damage with 7th rank title than Forked Arrow due to double recharge time! (0.68x*3=2x) I suggest cutting the recharge to 5 seconds. --Toge 12:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
- This spell can be used in many situations. Combined with something like Conjure spells or maybe even Nightmare Weapon used on a Single target, the target may die faster. Overall, Forked Arrow does more damage (assuming you have not been enchanted or hexed). However, on a single target, Triple Shot may eliminate one target faster. For example, while Totem Axe farming, (I'm not a Ranger) I use Triple Shot with Savage Shot to eliminate those Life Pods in one hit. If I used Forked Arrow I wouldn't be able to kill them without weakening them with one shot or maybe two. Than 22:13, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Except for the fact that this skill isn't a spell. 216.119.178.127 01:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Progression
As I don't have much Faction points til now, I can help with the lower end of progression. At rank 1 (Supporter) Triple Shot arrows deal 48% less damage.
- I'm confused. If, at the earliest possible you are able to purchase this skill at Rank 1 of kurz/luxon title, and at that rank you deal 48% less damage, then why do the numbers state that 50% is the bottom end of the scale? It seems...pointless to give the value that is not even usable (rank 0), if that is what the 50% is 68.104.205.160 06:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- what about the condition that lowers atribs by 1? if u have 1 lvl of kurz/lux and the skill's attrib gets lowered (can it even?) then you would (hypothetically) bwe at 0.
- Your condition is Weakness. And no, it SHOULDN'T affect the dmg reduction, because who can reduce your title track?? Common sense, really. user:Arya_The_Tainted
- Signet of Illusions with 0 points in Illusion Magic will produce an effect at 0th level in the title track; yes, there are no serious players that are likely to do this in real play. The point of displaying a range starting at 0 is probably to maintain consistency with other skill tracks.

[edit] Related Skill
Would Barrage not be a related skill? The main difference is that Barrage does not target the same foe, but it shoots multiple arrows, which in my opiniont is related enough to be listed. 68.104.205.160 06:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, the thing is, Barrage attacks adjacent foes, not just one. So, if your theory was that Barrage~Trip. Shot, you're trying to say that Triple is able to attack up to three foes. On the other hand, if Barrage~Triple Shot, you're saying you can hit one person with six arrows. =/ So no, they're not related. But it would be awesome if that were true! :D Hitting one person w/ six arrows... I wish, eh??Arya_The_Tainted
- Well, except for removing preparations, everything that is true of multiple hits would equally apply here and with dual shot and barrage. For example, all of these skills should gain adrenaline faster (for /W or /P builds), discharge weapon spells faster (e.g. splinter), and have multiple hits count with conjure spells, right? Perhaps a multiple hit page should be made, and all skills that cause multiple hits linked to it. But at least the discussion of those effects on the Barrage page is nice.

[edit] Should have called it
Manyshot. Even acts the same as the feat from dnd.
- That just sounds weird. End of disscusion.
- That is very close to something else: "Money shot". And that won't work. 70.126.107.48 22:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling
Please check article spelling. "allegiance" and remove this comment after a decision is made (70.181.76.135 18:01, 19 August 2008 (UTC))
[edit] incendiary as related
Just thought I'd add that as well since there's barrage and volley already 24.182.202.133 23:30, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- I say remove barrage, volley and Incendiary. Don't really feel related to me. -- NUKLEAR

- Barrage and Volley aren't really, but IA kinda is since both it and this fire three arrows, and neither remove preparations. The only real difference (other than the burning/damage) is that IA fires them at different people and this fires them at the same target. However they still seem pretty similar to me. 86.26.82.55 20:49, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Added "I Am The Strongest!"
I added "I Am The Strongest!" simply because it adds damage much like the Elementalist's Conjure spells. Than 22:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] progression wrong?
im rank 6 and its 33% not 34%. im not adept at tables sorry.--Justice 06:11, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- I'll second that -- I'm rank 4 and it's 35% and not 36%. Tables might be 1% high across the board? 216.114.234.182 01:57, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- I'll third it, i guess, I'm r4 and its 35%. 24.233.254.51 01:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- Myself as well--my Kurzick Supporter (1) Triple Shot claims to fire three arrows that "deal 39% less damage." 71.61.63.79 01:14, 30 May 2009 (UTC) 24.131.30.50 00:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Worse than advertised?
Can anyone else test the actual percentages? Do the dummies in the Great Temple not count properly as PvE or something? With no other buffs, at 11 marksmanship, with a 15-15 Candy Cane bow, rank 4 (reports a 35% reduction in-game)
60 AL target -- non-crit with CC bow is 14. Triple shot is 3 x 8. (Should be 3 x 9, even rounding down)
80 AL target -- non-crit with CC bow is 10. Triple shot is 3 x 5. (should be 3 x 6, even rounding down)
100 AL target - non-crit with CC bow is 7. Triple-shot is 3 x 4. (this one could be right, if it rounds down and not to closest)
Can anyone else confirm? 216.114.234.182 06:49, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- drop your marksmanship to 0 for easier-to-confirm numbers. 128.255.216.144 19:55, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Lol Damage
Spirit's Strength + GDW + Strength and Honor + I Am The Strongest + Asuran Scan + Triple Shot. It may be half your bar and two slots on somebody else's bar, but at least you can deal 700 damage in a second with an almost guaranteed KD. Lawl. PowerGamer 16:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- half your bar AND some1 else casting great dwarf weapon on you. but i'll give this a try as soon as i make my next ranger =D --83.77.236.104 19:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Strength of Honor works great with bows. 24.197.253.243 19:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Good call, SoH is on the list of skills I don't use, and this just about proves it. PowerGamer 22:11, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- Its great - Conjure Lightning/I am the strongest/Glass Arrows + Triple Shot. I did 100 per arrow (312 dmg). Tong2
