Is Volley and Horde Breaker on the Ranger redundent?

[enricofermi2]

It seems like once you get volley, there is no reason to ever use Horde Breaker. Since they both do AOE, but volley has no per turn limit and has actual AOE.

Volley can harm friendly NPCs otherwise hb is generally weaker (lvl 3 vs level 11 after all).

ye its weaker cause lower level, but the other 2 skills that you could pick are always useful. So its a wasted pick once you hit 11.

If someone wanted to invest 12lvl into ranger I would recommend respecing once you get volley because it's too situational otherwise. Volley can be annoying in act 3 where there are so many friendly npcs. But hb's potential can be fully explored when multiclassing.
