The cone and arrow deal damage independent of each other, effectively doubling damage dealt to monsters directly in the line of fire.
Galvanic Arrow shoots a lightning cone each time you shoot your bow. Barrage Support makes your projectiles fire sequentially instead of simultaneously, meaning a lightning cone is triggered for each projectile shot during your attack.
