Volley and additional projectiles

How does Volley work with additional projectiles from other sources? Such as this RotC:

Does it simply triplicate the skill, additional projectiles and all? Or does the +2 additional projectiles on Volley itself mean that each of the side locations only fires a single projectile?

I'm revisiting an old character of mine from before 3.0 and altering her build a bit. The Increased Critical Strikes is no longer useful and I was looking at Volley as a replacement option. If it triplicates the skill, it seems incredibly powerful. On the other hand if it only adds two projectiles which happen to fire from the sides, the damage penalty makes it not worth it.

All projectiles from all sources (Volley, LMP, GMP, items, skills, etc.) are simply added together. Then they are distributed according to this pattern (courtesy of Mark_GGG):



For example, with Volley, legacy Reach, and Endless Munitions (Deadeye ascendancy) you will get:

1 projectile base,
1 extra projectile from the passive,
2 extra projectiles from Volley,
4 extra projectiles from the bow,

for 8 projectiles total.

Thanks for the explanation. That means Volley would only give 5% more damage, so there are likely better options.
how am i suppost to get 12 additional projectiles for my kinetic blast????
