If you plan on zhenning (aoe leveling in groups) then yes barrage is useful, level 1-3, after that it becomes too expensive to spam with a charm.


Eagleon however, I would have to say is fairly useless. It may be ok for killing barbs and bms, but other than that, not really worth the coin and spirit.


Sidenote:
I have barrage lvl 1, but haven't zhenned, since it kinda seems like botting to me, and i got Eagleon lvl 1, just because I wanted to see it, lol.

eagle is not very practical. you can probably do a lot more damage faster by just popping two sparks and going through your lightning spells. two sparks is way too much to pay for to use that thing

i got 1 level of it and it looked interesting. sometimes i would gather sparks by punching the rivercross captain and cast it on a random mob near plume just to see the lightning bird fly b:victory

Yeah eagleon is mostly for show. Although on Increased Def & Life monsters it's pretty good. Yeah, you can use doublespark instead, but eagleon doesn't just do damage - it has a slow effect as well. This can stack with your frost arrow for a total speed reduction of 80% at a time. Using both, you can reduce its speed to a crawl for 5 seconds at a time. So your Archer can stand there, cast both, check his watch, yawn, fix himself a sandwich and then lazily bring out the knockback/freeze/stun attacks.

And it even has its own debuff classification... how awesome is that? XD

EDIT: I'd like to add that anything is worth getting at least Lv1 of, just to say you have it and you're more versatile for it. :P

Ehh whats the point of stacking two skills to get 80% speed reduction for 5 seconds (that uses 230 chi) when we already have a skill that stops them for 8 seconds that uses 100 chi?

Asterelle has a good point-right now im combing the forums looking for advice on what spells to even bother leveling since i didn't check before-im a level49 PURE DEX archer and LOVE the build so far BUT im not picking sides i just REALLY want to hear a good discussion on this whole frost arrow/speed reduction argument-would anyone care to enlighten me on what combo's they think are best when it comes to speed reduction before initial attacks? right now i'm using a macro-frost-att-att-thundershock-lightening-stun knockback. I figure if the stun misses then i have the knockback and vice versa-may seem like a waste of mp BUT i have level 3 apoth so i never grind without buffed hp and mp recovery

for my grinding now days its just frost >normal attack >dead mob. most of the mobs dies before it can hit me unless i miss and dont get any crit. some mob i have to throw in a KB arrow after the 3rd normal attack so i can avoid taking any dmg.

considering that i am using wind and cloud with bracer of the blood moon, using skills for dmg is not worth it since i can do 2 normal attacks for every skills i toss out. (0.83hits/sec ftw)
i use stun arrow and aim low for the increased life and increased defense mobs, winged shell for increased move speed to tank the 1 hit it can get.

the only reason i see to ever get/use eagleon is just....when u want to **** around.
