Overshadowed by Volley

Issue
Is elite and has the same area as Volley, making Volley a better option. Barrage rarely uses all 7 arrows in the description.
Suggestion
Increase area to nearby. With "adjacent" area, Barrage rarely uses all 7 arrows. Increasing this would make Barrage more useful.

Barrage Barrage

Discussion

Issue
Barrage was recently buffed to get it's damage to be more inline with other skills.
Suggestion
I would prefer a drop in the damage buff to +5..8..10 if the skill allowed the use of preparations. Volley can remain unchanged to keep Barrage elite and rangers wouldn't need to go outside of their profession to

use make their main PvE elite skill more damaging.

Barrage doesn't allow preparations because it would be used with Apply Poison and Ignite Arrows.

Buff this skill for PvE

Issue
Most of the arrows are wasted because it's only "adjacent".
Suggestion
Increase AoE to nearby(PvE). Leave it as it is in PvP, we don't want barrage-way teams.

Certain preparations should be usable with this

Issue
Removes all preparations
Suggestion
"Lose all Wilderness Survival preparations".

Issue
another skill useless in pvp
Suggestion
split for pvp and pve, pvp version:

15 Energy2 Activation time25 Recharge time

Elite skill. For 3...9...10 seconds, next 1...3...3 times you attack a foe with an attack skill, you shoot an additional arrow. This arrow has the same effect, as attack skill you used.
would make funny rspikes.
