Did anyone else notice Barrage was totally different and there’s a missing ultimate? For years I’ve been glued to every piece of D4 news I could find and I didn’t see anything about this change. Maybe I missed something and someone here can fill me in?
Barrage Change? - In every video and screenshot I’ve seen since Rogue was announced the Barrage skill created a wall of shadows to the left and right of the Rogue which each fired arrows. While playing the beta all weekend I kept thinking I was doing something wrong since when I used Barrage it looked more like Diablo 2 Strafe. My character just fired a spray of arrows in a bunch of directions from a single central point with no shadows at all. This wasn’t Rapid Fire, I used both and understand the difference.
Missing Ultimate - Blizzard previewed Rogue skills in one of the quarterly updates, I forget which, and they highlighted a skill that trapped the Rogue and a number of targets together in a shadow world, no way in or out, to allow the Rogue to focus target without outside interference. I assumed this was an ultimate and kept waiting to figure out what it was but it’s nowhere on the beta skill tree. It had a name I just can’t figure out which update it was but you can see it at 3:20 in the Rogue announcement trailer.
Have these things been addressed anywhere? Are there more skills in the skill tree than we have in the beta or did they trim some away? I didn’t follow other classes as closely as Rogue so I don’t know if they’re also missing things.
