Nicola, I was curious, what makes you lean towards Mergen? My new main is basically the same build as you, even down to trying to stay at 100% crit cap between dex and gear (and the 5x Ellaganos lol). I’m personally thinking more about Hakka because I like the mobility of the mount and the potential there seems to be for some huge numbers on the sword skills to maintain king of single target DPS. That and I like the idea of being able to equip swords in the offhand, hoping that there might even be some new ones coming out that would rival manamana which would lead to some interesting gameplay.
I’m not sure what the draw to Mergen is which is why I’m asking. When it was first announced, I was excited as I thought maybe it would make 2H bows viable in all situations to the point we didn’t need to rock an xbow+manamana and a 2H bow but that it would reward you for always using a 2H bow, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. And the CDs seem too high to make it seem not as great as I was hoping for filling in my lack of AoE with an F3 build. Would love to hear your reasoning for wanting to go Mergen!
