I will have to try spiral again, when I tried it originally it was in Saalus on the new bosses smoking bath salts and crystal meth so that could have skewed my perception of it.
The biggest take away for me though is; triple arrow and homing arrow are by far the 2 strongest mergen skills now and if you arent maxing those 2 I think you are selling yourself short, the other 15 points I dont think there is a wrong answer, its whatever fits you better.
Gamers dont realize the impact playing 8-12 hours a day has on their fingers and wrists, down the road it catches up with you. I am only 38 but I have been at this since I was 18, starting off playing final fantasy 11 for 12 years, so after 20 years of gaming ya, my hands are wrecked, I think its going to be 1000x worse for this new generation b/c of smart phone usage, the texting is just going to multiply the effects.
