Missile Barrage works differently in World of Warcraft: Forever than it does in Classic Era.

Missile Barrage ranks in Forever

  1. Rank 1 Gives your Arcane Blast spell a 40% chance, and your Fireball, Frostbolt, and Frostfire Bolt spells a 20% chance to reduce the channeled duration of your next Arcane Missiles spell by 50%, reduce the Mana cost by 100%, and missiles will fire every 0.5 sec.
