Anthem of Flame + Barrage?

[Kjentei]

Anthem of Flame
5e/1c/10r
For 10 seconds, the next attack skill used by each ally within earshot also causes Burning for 1...3 seconds.

Combined with Barrage, would this cause Burning to all foes struck by Barrage?

EDIT: So, does it only affect the first targetted foe, or does "causes Burning for 1...3 seconds" apply to all the arrows?

[Metafrank]

nope, it will only work for the first arrow that hits.

And for cyclone axe? for tripple chop? :)

[Woop Shotty]

I would think it'd work with barrage for multiple targets. Apply Poison and Cyclone Axe work together.

Yes, but Apply Poison and Barrage do NOT work together. Barrage does not work with preparations, which is what Apply Poison is. So it all depends on if Anthem of Flame works like a preparation or not for it to work with Barrage.

Interesting idea, but what is the main purpose of this combo? How is this any better than say a flame trap... Or a R/E conjure flame?

Flame trap requires your target to step in it.

Conjure flame causes Fire Damage, but not burning.

But as far as to who gets effected, it's hard to say. Since the skill itself causes burning, it seems like it would only effect the target, but since cyclone axe isn't targeted, I'm not sure how that would work. :confused2:

[critical vengeance]

i would thing it would effect the entire skill personally. Since it says next skill, not next attack, but i could be wrong.

sharpen daggers affects every arrow of of a barrage, causing degen so i dont see why burning wouldnt be caused by every arrow too..

I smell toys made out of orange foam coming this way...

[Ivan Drago]

Hm, you just added +42 damage to a Barrage Attack. To each arrow. I like this combo! :)

GREAT! On the other hand, sometimes I fear Nightfall will be the end of all balance in GW and the two new professions will blow out the old ones and especially the Canthan professions out of the water.

Tried it at the event and only one practice dummy burnt

Yep, it's the next attack. Apply Poison and stuff like Sharpen Daggers work for every single hit, so they aren't really comparable. Using Barrage on multiple targets will only trigger the attack on the first one you hit.

Some of the Paragon shouts are indeed way overpowered in organized PvP and PvE. That being said, my assassin and ranger will still pwn them all. And $20 says 99% of all Paragons and Dervishes spam skills faster than I can Echo Diversion.

[critical vengeance]

diversion would end the spamming :) Vilenin, i might take you up on that bet ;)

lol i hate replying to my own threads but...

I'd love to see a screenshot of that, can you post one?

[critical vengeance]

man next even thing i should take like 100 screen shots, a picture is worth a thousand words ;)

[Xavatar]

does anthem of flame work on yourself? cos i tried using it but apparently it only works on allies and not yourself. If that's the case then maybe paragon with aof and rangers with barrage could pull this off but i dunno..

[critical vengeance]

er last time i checked it worked on yourself, maybe you just didn't notice. Aria of power and stuff kind of has the same description and it works on yourself.
