While Barrage is subject to the same accuracy cap as standard shots, you may simply be using too little of it relative to whatever you're fighting. Unrelated, but I'm fairly certain that Rancorous Mantle and Rancor Collar don't work for ranged attacks.

It might be because your set lacks the range accuracy to land all hits. You should adjust your range accuracy depending on what you're fighting.

Eh? Never heard this, was under the impression that Rancorous mantle + light gorget is the way to go for Jinshu's and such.. D:

Ranged accuracy might be the real problem. Since a miss in shot = all miss on the following shots.

I found my Full-hit barrage is decent on Qilin (Can score up to 3.8k while good Jishnu's can hit up to 4.2k~4.3k)

How people get 10-20 k barrages is Relic proc + af3+2 set proc for x5 dmg. If it procs on the first hit of barrage it will proc on all the hits of barrage.

If the first hit misses the rest will miss as well sadly, if the 2nd hit misses the rest will miss etc etc

Also a factor is that you are using relic bow and the higher numbers come from the gun, could be as simple as that.

From your set, I'd take out Oneiros Pearl and switch for Vulcan's pearl, even a Flame Pearl would be more benefiting, STR has a lovely effect on RATK as you most probably already know.

Not sure if Minjo is correct on Critrate+ gear not effecting Ranged, but either way, Rancorous+Nefarious combo isn't very good. I'd go with Rancor collar + Terebellum Mantle, or if racc is gonna be an issue, Libeccio mantle.

Another thing to point out is the belt, -7dex, obviously not very good for critrate, the very build style you seem to be trying to maximize.

other than that, seems good

Oyea switch yoichi for anni ^^

That -7 DEX on Beir Belt +1 is not helping your crit rate either. I'd go w/ Buccaneer's Belt, Bobcat Belt, or Prosilo Belt if you can afford it.

The way people are doing these 10-20k barrages is landing as many arrows as possible/crit'ing;(dead aim trait)/and finally the 3x proc. BRD/COR will really help alot to boost damage and get into that 10k+ range on VW, tho on ADL, personally I don't get anything but /war+food+embrava and still break 10k with 3x under the circumstances Getting a 5x proc would stand out very easily, craziest part of it all is how some of those barrage numbers are still far from the maximum one could achieve.

7+1+1 = 9 arrows
x1.25 (ranged crit)
x1.45 (dead aim)
x3(relic proc)
x2(empy rapid shot augment)

It's like firing 16 arrows at once, 49 if it's relic proc, and 98 arrows if the augment can work on Barrage. Even a "tame" 408 dmg per hit (non-crit) can be amplified to 20k, without counting the rapid shot augment.

In Voidwatch, under champions your set is ideal, though wanion belt instead of scout's, and pyrosoul instead of rajas.

In recent endgame content, and probably future content I would change your set to:

-Sylvan Gapette +2
-Terebellum Mantle (If mob is particularly evasive, Libeccio mantle)
-Rancor Collar
-Pyrosoul Ring
-Wanion Belt

Prosilio is probably better due to the recent discovery that Agi affects ranged crits, not Dex as previously thought.

Still think scouts or bucc's best option for belt, nothing makes you wanna throw relics on the floor more than wiffing barrage...
