Rapidly fires a spray of shots for 3 sec, dealing an average of [(16.4% of Attack power) * 11] Physical damage to all nearby enemies in front of you. Usable while moving. Deals reduced damage beyond 8 targets.
This ability was mentioned in the April Fools' Day Legion alpha patch note preview: "The talent 'Barrage' has had its functionality extended to also pull extra packs from completely different dungeons."
Hotfix (2016-09-13): Barrage range will now correctly match the range of the Hunter's other abilities.
Developers' Notes: During the recent updates to Barrage, we discovered it extended approximately 2 yards beyond the range of autoshot and other abilities. We're changing it to more closely match.
Hotfix (2016-09-07): Barrage now fires in a tighter cone, and its visual has been improved to better show its area of effect.
Developers' Notes-- Barrage fulfills a fantasy of a wild spray of shots in a large area. Of course, that can be dangerous, and often Hunters accidentally pull additional enemies with Barrage, especially in Legion dungeons. We saw this as a failure on our part to convey what it actually does. This hotfix should allow Hunters to get a feel for the shape and size of it and build a reliable expectation of what will happen when they cast Barrage. No change was made to Barrage's damage. We hope that this helps Hunters and their groupmates to have a more pleasant dungeon experience.
Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): No longer available to Survival hunters.
Hotfix (2015-07-13): Barrage should no longer incorrectly hit targets that are in stealth if the Hunter is unable to see them.
Patch 6.2.0 (2015-06-23): Now deals only 80% of normal damage against player-controlled targets. Additionally, the ability no longer hits invisible or stealthed targets.
Patch 6.1.0 (2015-02-24): Damage increased by 21%.
