The delay after using Arcane Barrage makes them wasted 90% of the time because the mob is either dead or has been moved. Rarely are bosses kept in 1 place long enough for them to hit.
Yeah, we really need more chatter about this. I’ve been reporting it since the Beta and made a post here too more than 3 weeks ago but they haven’t done anything yet. The delay is also at least in part due to a bug left in place from when Glorious Incandescence used to drop 8 meteorites and they were more staggered. Now it’s just 4 and they all drop together but the animation delay was never updated. There really shouldn’t be a delay at all though, or if they insist on a delay then the meteorites need to drop on the target and not the location where the target was when hit by the triggering spell.
Yeah, useless in PvP too, lol.
I’m now leveling my mage and just picked up this talent today. And yeah, it’s been pretty useless so far. Just leveling out in the world. I barrage an enemy and of course it runs towards me and therefore out of the meteorite zone. It needs to actually be aimed at the enemy, not the ground.
