The current mob insanity is b/c the devs planned these mobs to be fought by lv 330 characters with lv 315 weapons transcended 4 or more levels. This is not going to happen for quite some time on most servers b/c any 315 weapon requires a pc of practonium which only drops from a lv 330 world boss, therefore there will be 1 or 2 guilds on every server monopolizing the boss even after they have theirs done b/c they will then start charging 40 to 50 million for it on the market, like the early days when finishers were 30+ million.
yeah Im having a hard time. Since Mergen is a burst class 
we donāt have sustain AOE like SR3. Itās kinda hard.
Your next step almost like gamble.
If you choose Fletcher3> Mergen2-3 not good or rank9-10class better than Mergen2-3 = you choose a right choice.
If you choose Mergen and Mergen2-3 really good = you choose a right choice.
No one know about IMC idea lol. Maybe Mergen will be good in a future. But maybe rank9-10 class over power than Mergen C2-3. Who know what will happen?
Dunno what you guys are sayingā¦a friend using mergen was doing a one hit kill on mobs with 200k+ hp, using my enchant lightning+link(light) combo with his tripple arrow. No other people in the party was even close to do that much damage with the same combo.
I think the link was multiplying the aoe damage to all the mobs, it was RLY strong o.o
Hope they buff mergen. Maybe reduce CD. So underwhelming. spent 30M to test the attri and stillā¦ mehā¦
At least I am having a blast with my SR3.
btw which bow are u guys using?
I currently have +6 maga bow and i was thinking of waiting for 315 bows to invest on them, but now I see that 315 weap ask for a very difficult material to obtain, so what do u reccomend? Invest on my maga or try to get a light gorithos and transcendence it?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Biskee, i would recommend getting lv5 Triple Arrow & Lv5 Arrow Sprinkle too as these are the best Mergen skills. 1 pt in Spread shot & 4 in Koochaksal.
Triple Arrow name is rather misleading cos itās like a burst aoe and can hit multiple mobs. Eg. in Crystal mine mission, the wave of bats & skeletons can be cleared with 1 cast of Triple Arrow if rounded up nicely.
Im using an xbow + manamana for all Mergen skills. Surprise!

no one is trying parthian shaft ?_? i feel like no one ever used this skill yet, maybe itās op and we donāt know XD i know it has a +3aoe ratio and has to be used while movingā¦maybe itās good for farming or something
+3 means you get to hit 4 small 2 medium or 2 large. Thatās pretty much ānothingā. There better be some hidden sh*t there somewhere.
Kr mergen did not get buffed due to popularity pick, we cannot expect buff anytime soon.
Triple arrow and arrow sprinkle are best skills. Homing and circling is nice too.
Spread arrow and parisian shaft most unpopular.
A2-QS3-Fal-Rog-Mer (70 DEX invested)
w/Didel GC (no upgrade yet, attributes got me broke)
Khasti 2hand bow (lol) = will replace this with 290 bow once I find the quest that gives that stupid Practonium
Only using and maxing 3 skills: Homming Arrow (in-game name), Triple Arrow, Arrow Sprinkle.
Crit rate (100%) 
[can still go down if Iām unlucky with WW card proc]
Single target sustained DPS 
AoE Burst = Circling + Arrow Sprinkle then Capture (can cast another Arrow Sprinkle on top of it)
Frontal AoE = Circling + Homming Arrow
Bonus: Circling + Lv10 Multi Shot
Thanks to those who responded on my thread (way before). Iām slaying like thereās no tomorrow

Iām an Archer2>Ranger1>Wugushi2>Fletcher2, had waaaaaay too much fun ranking in bosses, levelling the char. Maining it was amazing; however, seeing how Mergen seems really lackluster and going Fletcher3 is gonna boost my MA dmg which is still gonna be underwhelming for these mobs and bosses I feel I donāt know which class to pick now. Any suggestions, Nicola, or any other knowledgeable person?
Edit: My goal has always been ranking in bosses, not top, rank1, world boss king, but being able to hold on my own, be useful during bosses, and getting my party a cube.
With everything you said, Fletcher 3 would have been the only logical progression for you.
Iām sure @Nicola would say the same.
Mergen SHOULD NOT have even been a consideration.

No one know what will happen in the future.
Everyone thought mergen gonna good in C2-C3. But what if R9-10 class overpower than Mergen.
Or Mergen C2-C3 will come out pretty good and better than upgrade Magic arrow from lvl10 to lvl15+ skill of R9-R10 class
If you look only this patch maybe Fletcher C3 is the best choice for you.
But if look at the future. I pretty sure no one really know except IMC.
Yeah the cool down on Mergen is crazy to make it a stand alone class.

Fletcher3 it is, thanks for the input, guys.
keep in mind for fletcher to be effective at rank 8 you will need 75+ attributes into magic arrows.
I have the att at 50, but thanks again for the advices.
By any chance, ure also a archer c2 with sapper c2? I know about the long CD, but the base of ur build should help, right?
