How much The Wanderer's Minuet truly adds to damage?

[SuperZay]

It says +30% damage which sounds nice, but it turns
Auto-attacks off
Barrage off (because there are no auto-attacks so there's nothing to triple)
Constant 'cast' interruptions when you are moving out of AOE
Which all slowly add up to lost damage.
Not to mention playing another generic rooted caster is not fun.

Well first of all the recast is untouched and the cast time is 1.2 seconds so that leaves 1.2 seconds of time for oGCDs. Also, Barrage doesn't affect auto attacks anymore, it makes your next weapon skill hit 3 times so you can do a triple crit for 6k. So yes, WM truely does add to damage, not a full 30%, but more along the lines of 17% which is a number I heard on the forums with no source to it

It says 'Multiplies the number of non-critical strikes for a single-target weaponskill by 3. '

And? Read the complete sentence and then notice this part: "...for a single-target weaponskill..."

Weaponskill
Weaponskill

Auto-attack =/= weaponskill

They said triple crits. I said non-critical. So Barrage can't do triple crits.

Oh, I see. You are embarrassed that you said something that was incorrect and now you've taken to trolling. Can't say I'm surprised.

As I said in my first post, move along people, nothing to see here.


EDIT: On the off chance you aren't trolling, I'll reiterate for you:

You said, "Auto-attacks off
Barrage off (because there are no auto-attacks so there's nothing to triple)"

Barrage was changed to affect weaponskills, not auto-attacks.

You can use Empyreal Arrow which Ive found often hits for 1k+dmg. With Barrage, Empyreal Arrow hits for 1000+ three times so at minimum 3k dmg.

Now that aside, I dont know how much WM actually helps out as I dont parse, but Empyreal arrow + Barrage is decent.

Yup. In Alex my Empys are hitting on average for 1500 before RS. I have gotten a 6k *hit* with Barrage Empy with a well timed BfB right before RS falls off.

No you cannot do what I have bolded, it blocks crits. It is three non-critical hits.
