I think the AoE they showed is a Barrage remake. So instead of giving 3 hits for the next attack, it would cause this big AoE damage. On the one hand, this is a good change, because Barrage feels super awful when dealing with AoE, just like Pitch Perfect. However I worry that this may simplify the proc management during bursts a lot. This might be because of the new Radiant Finale follow-up, so it's not that big of a deal. I just hope that they give Bard a trait that decreases its cooldown to 60s.

I'm just sad they didn't do anything with Sidewinder. My hope was that they would give 2 repertoire procs, and maybe Wanderer's could get an upgrade to have 4 stacks, but eh.
