−	~~'''Q. How does Volley Fire work?'''~~

−	~~A. It takes one default attack from~~ all ~~ranged persons in~~ group, and ~~directs~~ it ~~toward~~ the squad ~~leaders current~~ target ~~reticle~~. They will then return to their target ~~of choice, If it succeeds, that is~~. ~~What you do is~~, ~~during~~ the volley fire~~, you deselect your target~~. ~~That selects the Volley fire target. Then the Squad Commences firing on the selected~~ target.	+	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 unstyled shot at the target the Squad Leader has selected. They group will then return to their previous targets. The ability does not retarget 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.

−	When VF is successfully engaged, the entire squad will substitute their next combat round to take an unstyled shot at the target the Squad Leader has selected. They group will then return to their previous targets. Against NPC targets, this means that a squad of 6 people will on average do 1200 points of damage to the target (6 members X 200 points of damage). Since this also uses up a round of combat for the squad leader him/herself, it's almost always more advantagous for the SL to use that round to fire a style of their own that hits in the 1100-1400 range.

−	Most Squads never even know that the skill is working, because it doesn’t re-target the SL’s target, it just auto-shoots the target. Volley Fire is untargetted and will hit the three pools at a 3:2:1 ratio Volley fire can be used in PVE to draw aggro off of yourself.
−	To clarify and reitterate, group members do NOT change targets during this process, they simply fire at the SL's target when the SL's queued volley round comes up then go back to attacking their original targets. When no one is engaged, and you use /volleyfire.... Nothing happens. Nada, Zilch, nothing. Your party must be engaged in combat before using /volleyfire.

−	'''Note: Perhaps we can make this skill more useful without a major change in game play by making all the volley shots hit a particular ham pool but make it so that the ham pool that is hit will be chosen at random.'''
