Barage isnt as fast as TB or flurry/RF but with shadow inbuement its still great. i play barage like a melee build since your arrows wont miss as much compare to ranged attacks. i still enjoy it a lot as i like the barage animation and sound.
the maxroll build is decent (smoke granade, cold imbue, shadow imbue, shadow step, puncture or potentially forceful arrow after patch, barage).
for gear, i only changed one of the aspect into ghostwalker or explosive verve to boost movespeed for smoother gameplay
