How important is Circling for Mergens?

Is Falconer C1 a must?

No, but its a great combo with homing arrow and triple arrow, non-falcon builds will simply choose triple arrow and arrow sprinkle and usually skip homing arrow, saving 5 points for the future circle 2 of mergen.
I myself originally started with a lv330 mergen with a falconer splash, the combo is great but eventually you get tired of IMC not being able to fix anything. The falcon pet has been severely broken since its inception, and has not had improvements, it will constantly get stuck in the sky and not return amongst many other issues.
I used the free rank reset to go back to an older version of my build w/o the falcon splash but either way you will be ok, as I said, falcon put a heavy emphasis on homing arrow enhance, non-falcon put a heavy emphasis on triple arrow and arrow sprinkle.

Thanks so much for your insight, I know that you use to have a SCOUT > MERG build with FALC, since the reset, you mind me asking what your set up is now?

The reason why I ask is that I really want a jack of all trades type of character… Single and AOE damage, don’t have to be the best but can do both… So I was thinking:

A2 > R1 > Wu2 > Rog1 > Falc1 > Merg1

But since you can allocate skills around not having Falc1 as you say, I might go ahead and do:

A2 > R1 > Wu3 > Rog1 > Merg1 instead.

do you mean back to iDreamy’s build?
a2r1sc3ro1mergen?

Falcon isn’t as stupid as it was before with the recent patch. We got 1 sec Cooldown Call now and Falconer skills won’t go on CD when the Falcon is out, therefore fixing the Falcon being bugged.

not really, its been about 6weeks now since I stopped playing but my 330scout ya, respecd it back to idreamy, just tired of the buggy falcon

wanted to do it while we had a free reset incase I come back down the road, only way ill come back though is if imc goes under and another publisher takes over the game, you saw it took nexon with JTOS what, 1 month to pull ahead of ITOS’s year of release

You stopped playing for 6 weeks, not realizing they have already patched falcon lolz… Now it works like a charm.

They even fix circling bug that not affecting some enemies sometimes.

I tested alot of things with the new falcon, but too lazy to post out here cuz I know people don’t care.

in pve if someone neutral outside my party using circling, can i combo it with my homing arrow?

Yes you can. Circling debuff is applied to the mob & in the area so everyone may use it.

can we still capture circling? last time i tried to capture it, it got captured but when i unleashed it nothing happen

Probably because you don’t have a falcon with you.

typical wishful thinking, falcon is 100% bug free, thats funny b/c when I logged back in 3-4 days ago for the 1st time I ran a few dungeons to get silver to buy a token to redo attributes on the rank reset and 2 of the 6 I ran my hawk was stuck in the ceiling and took 30seconds to reach the group of enemies that circling was used on, imc fixed anything, sssssuuuuurrrrrreeeee, Tree of Beta, this is ITOS, not JTOS

That’s why I don’t want to waste a rank on Falconer :x let other people do the circling for you :smiley: although Falc 3 is amazing!

Taken from the Falconer C3 Thread.

We are not saying that it’s all heaven w/ rainbows and unicorns dancing, but w/ the recent patch it’s a whole lot of improvement compare to before.

How long did you “test” your buggy Falconer anyways? 1 run? 2 runs? Have you even considered that it was a lag spiked that made that “bug”? It’s funny cause for the whole week since they implemented that patch that didn’t happened to me.

You might be correct before but what you have now is outdated information. You might not care at all if its buggy or not since you’re an inactive player atm, but w/ your statements you might be confusing some other players.

TL;DR Falcon is still not perfect, but it did improved a lot.

■■■■■■■ lies. The falcon still runs away after a skill. That’s not “working like a charm”. I ditched my nearly Lv300 Falcon to my AR3-SC3-Fal and it’s just a Circling slave.


*edit, just to clarify, i’m not mad at you or anything. But we see “works like a charm” in completely different ways.

heh, the “run away after skill” it’s by design, that’s why call exist. but right now the bird will actually follow you instead of hanging to a spot for eternity like it used to for like 3 months.

Let’s be honest, yes that it goes away and you’ve got to call it is bad design, specially when you think that call got its CD shorten from 15 seconds to 1 second, still, it is now working far more reliably than before.

Falconer is one of those classes that you look at it and say " yup, they just had to release something, and rushed it", still the support it brings is quite good.

And you can call it back in 1 second repeatedly, what’s the problem then?
You can even use Circling and then change to hovering before it ends, and then use another skill before Hovering ends, and not needing to use call at all.
Have you fully test out the potential before you complain?

Are you a new falconer or recently get falconer?
Because the past falconer is way worse than this, and now is like 100 times better than before, that’s why I say now it works like a charm.

As a person who has had falconer c3s lol I admit it is a lot better. Call works as a teleport now. Your bird may appear near you when it’s really not and it prevents you from wasting skills and once you go call it teleports to you in like 1-2 seconds. The only thing I really hate is the duration on pre emotive strike… having to buff every second is hella annoying. Pheasant stun attribute is useless it’s only like 2 fast seconds, the knock down is a lot better

lol, I expect nothing less from toxic poster like you.
Your first post provide nothing other than complaining without giving any example whatsoever, and so does your 2nd post.
All you care is people calling you new and you get outraged and have to go all out aggressive, despite I didn’t even mean it offensively lol.

I haven’t have my hawk stuck for once post patch, and I’ve been playing that character everyday. Feel free to prove me wrong by making a video of purposely stucking your falcon.
