Ability Breakdown & Details

When the command /volleyfire is given, all members of the squad leader's group will fire a single shot at the squad leader's current target. When VF is successfully issued and it processes through the squad leader's combat queue, all group members with the exception of pets, heavy weapon users, and melee weapon users within attack range (64 meters) will substitute their next combat round to take an *default* shot at the target the Squad Leader has selected. They group will then return to their previous targets. The ability does not re-target the squad leader's target. All players, including the squad leader must be in combat and currently fighting in order for volley fire to work. Targets that are not fighting will not begin shooting a target if a volleyfire order is given.

Ham costs of the ability are multiplied by the number of members in the group.

Note: The exact multiplier for group size is unknown so i will assume its a +1 multiplier per person added;Therefore a 20 person group multiplies the ham cost by 20.

Note: Base Ham costs are unknown.

Formula(s)

No known formula exists for the volley fire success chance so I will propose the following:

volley fire Success Chance =


( 50 + (100 x ( volley fire mod / 100) ) + leadership ) - ( ( ( 100 x ( group size / 20 ) ) ) x .25 )
