It's poo, the animation is awful and the damage is a lot weaker than a nova.
Got Rain of Arrows yesterday on my Blaster, and its now three slotted for Damage (although with limited testing since that occured).
Yes, its weak compared to other Novas, but thats because it isn't a Nova. It doesn't suck your End or leave you Stunned or anything, its just another power basically. And it recharges five times faster than any of the proper Novas. Don't be expecting to exterminate herds with it, but the damage is plenty enough.
I'm liking it so far. Even the animation.

you kidding me? dont have it myself, but im going for it on my kin/arch defender.
you typical nova: BI 15-20, recharge 360 seconds. full end drain. PBAoE/Targetted AoE
Rain of Arrows: BI 10.8, recharge 60 seconds, only a small end cost. Location AoE
I would DEFFO prefer RoA above other novas.
When teamed with an achery blaster (Hey there flech 
) every 3rd group dies VERY fast. and thats just an added extra to the team.

Exactly.
Only every third group? With that recharge time, its every 1 to 2 groups.

Yepo, I'm loving it too Not to be confused with the natural chain of a blaster set (ie nova) not great damage, but I love the anim too. This set has been so much fun for me
Inferno is good but gives A LOT of debt...
Was wondering because I dont see many around anymore. Being ranged rather than melee (and the fact it doesn't drain your endurance to nothing) this power looks like it has advantages over the nova.
Anyone seen the arrows fly and can comment on whether they like it or not?
