Doomfletch LA / Barrage

"

Also the damage being secondary damage doesnt mean it would deal a different amount of damage than the original attack hit. Both sources deal the 2.8k with a max roll on the initial hit.

nah i didnt mean that, i was also thinking that it deals x2 damage when it pierces a target.

so all in all, lets sum all up;

+LA works like EA, the more aoe you have the more overlapping damage you deal. the projectile explosions overlaps unlike ice shot.
+LA has better aoe than EA
+LA can pierce the opponent and deal x2 damage.
+50-60% aoe isnt enough, 80+ aoe is better for overlap oriented build.

Hmm..

The ice shot has a different shape, it should also overlap in some scenarios.

LA has better aoe only if the EA is 1 fuse.

LA has the potential of dealing damage twice with 1 arrow in case it pierces and the pierced projectile explodes in the immediate proximity of the original hit. Piercing alone doesn't guarantee "double damage". That's why LA is kinda junk in melee range in an open ground.

I guess it is noteworthy also that the amount of required aoe is also heavily determined by how many arrows you use. With the same amount of aoe, it is easier to overlap a dozen arrows than only a few arrows.

More arrow means the angle is smaller, arrow is closer to each other, so less AoE require?

I suppose that on Ascendancy I should look for Nature Adrenaline, Veteran Bowyer, Nature's Boon and Master Alchemist, no?
