Hello all my archer friends! I ran a Saalus today on my Falconer 3 with a pug group. I was asked to use Circling on the bosses because the Mergen member wanted me to. I had no problem with this, and did it when i could, but was confused about it.
The problem here, is that the reason they wanted Circling used on the boss was to increase the damage of Arrow Sprinkle, which confused me. I stated “was not Aiming the skill you were actually asking for?”, but they said “no, the one that decreased Aoe Def”. I then said “don’t you combo Circling with Homing Shot and not Arrow Sprinkle?”, to which they said Arrow Sprinkle has a hidden effect when you drop the Aoe Def of boss/mobs, it will do extra hits.
So, as a man of science, and one lacking in-depth knowledge/resources to test this Mergen interaction, is this true? Is this combo a hidden gem that has yet to be talked about?
Mind you, I have been playing this game since ICBT and keep up to date with many topics on the forums. This here though is the first time I have heard of this specific interaction.
So is this true?
