Arcane Barrage Damage

Can someone else test this? With the new update where the damage was lowered by 60%, but the arcane charge damage by 90% (up from 30%), it feels weaker than before.

My stats aren’t the greatest. I have:

18,620 intellect
62.87% mastery

With that, my arcane barrage tooltip says it hits for 75k, at four charges. This can’t be correct. Additionally it reads “For each arcane charge , deal 134% additional damage…”

Is anyone else’s kinda wonky? It is the placebo effect? Where it feels I am hitting weaker?

No that’s about right, you’re not imagining it. It was purposely nerfed because it can now benefit from Nether Precision and will be further empowered by the hero talents in various ways (especially by Sunfury). The first tier set of TWW makes it even stronger. I tested it out in the beta and even though the toooltip say that the 4 piece has only a 5% chance to proc it seems to happen much more frequently.

Ok. Thank you!

Felt weird that a fireblast hit harder than a double charge arcane barrage.

Could you look into my other post about Magi’s Spark? See if you could replicate the effects?

It isn’t copying 100% of the damage (one from arcane blast, one from arcane barrage, and one volley of arcane missiles). Seems to fluctuate between 25% and 50%, but never 100%.

Although, it was at one point. A one million arcane barrage copied a one million spark.
