[edit] Notes
- Each of Volley's arrows counts as a separate attack.
- Since the extra arrows are fired at foes adjacent to your target, always try to target an enemy in the middle of a large group.
- Effects that trigger on attack/hit can trigger multiple times, however some skills have no effect, or only affect the first arrow.
- No effect
- Preparations are removed.
- Affect the first arrow only
- Most paragon chants work on the first hit only, e.g. Anthem of Flame, "Go for the Eyes!", Anthem of Envy, "Find Their Weakness!"
- Affect many arrows
- Sharpen Daggers, Nightmare Weapon and Splinter Weapon up to the "next N successful attacks" limit of those skills.
- Affect all arrows
- Enchantments:
- Conjure Lightning, Conjure Flame, Conjure Frost and Ebon Dust Aura.
- Heart of Holy Flame and Judge's Insight converts all arrows to holy damage.
- Vigorous Spirit will be a great boon.
- Zealous and Vampiric weapons will trigger multiple times. A Zealous weapon will (with high enough expertise) sustain the cost with just three targets. The skill will be Spammable with just two targets due to natural energy regeneration.
- Sundering weapons trigger independantly for each arrow.
- Hexes such as Empathy, Spiteful Spirit, and Insidious Parasite are extremely dangerous to Volley users.
- Adrenaline is gained for each hit, so volley is a way to gain adrenaline quickly for warriors and paragons.
- Most spirits influencing bow attacks will work on every attack.
- Non-preparation attack modifiers will work, including Aggressive Refrain, Burning Refrain
- Critical hits are checked individually for each arrow. Each arrow can trigger an assassin's energy gain from the Critical Strikes attribute and the skill Critical Eye. Skills that improve the chance to score a critical hit act on every arrow -- examples include Critical Eye, and Way of the Master.
- Enchantments:
- No effect
[edit] Trivia
