Branching Volleys is one of the offensive aspects available for the Rogue Class. This aspect buffs the “Barrage” core skill that first a volley of 5 arrows on enemies. Each arrow has a slight chance of ricocheting off an enemy.
This aspect will allow you to split such ricocheting arrows into two arrows. This increases the potential damage that can deal with the barrage skill.
Applying this Legendary aspect on a two-handed weapon increases its effectiveness by 100%. Hence apply it on an H2 weapon for maximum effectiveness.
This is not the best aspect for rogue class when used with the base Barrage skill as the chance of an arrow ricocheting is low making this aspect useless in most situations. However, if you upgrade the Barrage skill to Enhanced Barrage, arrows will always ricochet.
Before applying this aspect to your weapon, make sure that you have Barrage unlocked from the marksman section in the Rogue Skill Tree.
