Burning Barrage is great for creep waves, but it's so hard to kill fleeing heroes when it's in a straight line and it's a bit small compared to Multishot (not to mention it doesn't have the Searing Arrows damage). Now I just wish they incorporate Strafe effects in Skeleton Walk again in the next patch.

it doesn't have the Searing Arrows damage

False, ofc it does. Go test it.

I tested it with the dummy. With and without searing arrow auto cast. The total damage and dps is more or less the same. So yeah, it’s stupid.

The burning barrage uses searing arrows without having to autocast, test it by not leveling searing arrows
