Mergen: Arrow Sprinkle + Circling, extra hits?

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?

Ehh? never heard nor seen it on my falc mergen.

Circling would only benefit you if there’s 2 bosses at the same time, then arrow sprinkled with it’s many hits and damage per hit would become truly a nuke coupled with aiming.

Circling [expand] + 2 bosses + joint penalty + physical classes = bosses implode and create a VGA error rift (a very bad joke, please do not take it literal)

i have to ask about the circling expland atribute. this only work on misile type atack ? work with the dots of the wugushi? i make a wugu 2 falk 1 on the way to falk 3

Does NOT work for wugu poison.

Bump!
Anybody else have input?
Was I right or wrong? Does this interaction actually work?

@javier.mendez Expand attribute only works with physical hits and missile attacks. Wugu’s poison is not considered a physical attack nor a missile hit.

it is really hard to count how many arrow released in one arrow sprinkler. If that is really the case, how about make 2 video? one with mergen+falconer1’s circling, the other one with mergen+falconer3’s circling. Both video against the same boss, maybe DG290’s red lavenzard. We will help you inspect them

actually
neddle blow https://tos.neet.tv/skills/30502
and
wugong gu https://tos.neet.tv/skills/30504

are missile attacks, ranger’s steady aim increase their damage to

Initial damage or the whole dot is missile? Which mean every dot will maintain the 10% def reduction stack if it’s consider missile.

i will need to test it to be sure but i think that its work like the broadhead of the fletcher

arrow stack is going to be removed with balance patch. So don’t worry about that

I was refering to the dot of wugus poison puddle and poison ticks. Off topic though.

I run falcon mergen and have never noticed increase in damage with circling+arrow sprinkle. Circling + aiming, big increase in hits though.


Off topic:
Yes, first hit is missile. DoT doesn’t grant missile stacks.

Wugu + circling expand.

why not try on mobs ? i like to se what happen when wugon gu spread by it self. may be with circling+aiming will apply twice on some mobs.

whatever. is nice have a 70% chance to poison every mob with thats atacks

Sadly expansion by its own nature != replicated damage through circling [expand] attribute.

Since it lacks any physical characteristics when poison is dealing damage, it just simply won’t do anything when under circling [expand], if there’s an AoE related spread mechanic that I’m not aware, it is the only thing it would help poisons with.

A way to test hits is to have corsair put jolly roger.
You will get a combo counter.
