Galvanic Arrow Release a ferocious burst of lightning from your bow. The burst damages close enemies and shoots three arrows in a cone infront of you. The arrows do not last long, and fizzle after a short duration. Galvanic arrow is a skill best used against nearby enemies.	Let loose a flurry of arrows with the Barrage support gem. With each Galvanic Arrow fired, lightning will burst from your bow.This will stop your arrows from firing in a cone, and instead make them fire in sequence. This gem is invaluable for unleashing a flurry of attacks on strong enemies, like bosses. Be careful using it in dangerous dangerous situations. You cannot move while firing, so you cannot escape dangerous enemies.
Kinetic Bolt Launch a damaging bolt from your wand that zig zags in front of you. The darting bolt launches a projectile as it turns, damaging enemies.	Fire a flurry of Kinetic Bolts in quick succession, damaging enemies consistently over a wide area. You cannot stop or move while firing. This gem improves damage but be careful not to get stuck taking damage while monsters attack you.

Barrage Support

Barrage Support is a Support gem which modifies bow and wand Attack skills to fire additional projectiles in succession, much like the Barrage skill.

Skill functions and interactions

By default, the support causes the bow and wand skill fire 4 arrows (Split Arrow and Power Siphon are other cases), but also has 20% more attack time as a penalty. The support also has (68-62)% less Damage multiplier. With this support gem, the damage can be further scales with Dying Sun, as well as item modifiers such as Skills fire # additional Projectile(s), Bow Attacks fire # additional Arrow(s), etc.

Num of Arrows	attack time	average attack time
1 (w/o the support)	1.0x	1.0x
4 (default with support)	1.20x	0.30 x
5	1.25x	0.25x
6	1.30x	0.21667x
