Barrage talent bugged?

[zugmadiek]

The 15% increase to multi-shot damage only adds to the bonus dmg (rank4 120 -> 138).
Is it supposed to only increase the bonus dmg? And does the T1 8set work the same?

Looking at the warrior Improved Cleave talent it specifically says Increase the BONUS damage, which leads me to believe this isn't working as intended.

plz give me your feedback friends

I seem to recall this being back in retail. Unable to fish patch notes atm, but believe the actual damage of it vs the bonus damage wasn't changed till TBC. This is just what I recall right now.

Barrage is working like you'd expect it to. You can test this easily with rank 1 multi-shot, which has no bonus damage.

rank 1 multis done with a Fine Light Crossbow (29-29 damage): http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=15808


and with Giantstalker (8) set:

Hello,
did anyone confirm barrage only increases bonus damage?
lvl 3 barrage 15% increases bonus damage from 120 to 138, as displayed in tooltip.
but multishot damage = autoshot damage + bonus damage
let's assume you have 100 autoshot damage
your multishot will hit for 220 damage (without barrage) or 238 (with barrage)?
or it should hit for (100+120)*1.15 = 253 (with barrage)?
How is it working in this moment?
I cant test it because i dont have gold for respec

It doesn't only affect the bonus damage, rather it's 1.15 multiplier for the entire Multi-shot formula.

This is the Multi-shot formula:

MultiShotDamage = DamageModifiers*(AmmoDPS*WeaponSpeed + (RAP/14)*2.8 + WeaponDamage + ScopeDamage + MultiShotBonus)

"DamageModifiers" being Barrage, RWS, Slaying talents and T1 8/8.
