Endless Hail or Arrow Barrage?

Vanchatron

Just trying out the bow, and was wondering which of the two 'Volley' morphs are better/more useful in PvE out of the following:

- Endless Hail (Increases the duration and reduces the cost)
- Arrow Barrage (Increase range and radius)

Thanks.

Endless hail. Cheaper cost and longer duration means less stamina used up in long fights.

Every high end stamina player uses endless hail

Smaller lasts longer or bigger hmmmm. It's personal preference really. Lasts longer seems to fit people's rotation better.

If you're pushing for dots; Endless Hail.
If you're not; Endless Hail.

Just use Endless Hail bruh...

Unless you want to increase your range.

Increased range has some uses.

Endless is great if your target(s) stay put - anchored by a tank, group or if you are engaged in melee with them. So if you use a bow as a secondary weapon to primarily apply AoE/DoT, then switch to melee and fight vs 'anchored' mobs then Endless is a good choice.

If, however, you run solo and back up your bow with, well, more bow, then Barrage may make sense. The extra duration of Endless does no good if you and your foes are running - but the extra radius of Barrage does.

Yeah normally it's trap beast to tie em down and endless hail for that dot power as well

Endless Hail especially if using a vMA bow (the extra duration benefits from the bow enchantment, allowing for even stronger ticks on the back end of the DoT).

For vMA: Barrage (if you can be bothered swapping morphs, I can't)
For literally anything else in the game: Endless Hail

Endless Hail for DPS test, Arrow Barrage for practical use.

That's what bombard is for. Keeps everything rooted. Or you can endless hail and jump in with the "spin to win" DW skill and mop everything up.
