oh boyā€¦ 3108 x10. just saw this in some vids

(ctto)

Lol @ ā€œMergen damage is acceptable nowā€

Well look at that. Seems both Spread shot and Homing arrow getting buffed tons. Not to mention another OH! :joy:

Zenith looks juicy as well.

Now I know Spread shot ricochets on its own, but imagine that buffed DPS on Homing arrow with 26 aoe attack ratio lol

:joy::smile:

Now on a serious note these are some serious buffs to Mergen.

This patch only proves Mergen is best suited with Falconer. Spread Ratio is based on AAR. So with 20 aar, you get max bonus SR. With Circling, all mobs = 1 except boss. So if not mistaken, 3 x 6 max hits per mob = Crazy pve / mobbing potential.

We will see :slight_smile:

Youā€™re right we need more skill points!

:distinguished:

it was finally time ā€¦ now wait at the end of November or the beginning of December

15 - triple
10 - homing
5 - zenith
5 - sprinkle
9 - downfall
1 - spread

Thats what Iā€™m thinking of doing. Debating on not having sprinkle and going more spread because I just like that skill a lot.

How are you guys getting your aar too? My dual ichors were primus+ignas plate pants and chest.

I wasnā€™t sure what to get for gloves and boots, but looking nowā€¦ Maybe skiaclipse gloves that give +2aar. Thoughts?

So do you guys think Mergen can do CM5 fast like Diev or SR after these buffs? Iā€™m tempted to make a Mergen and get the +11 t8 Savi weapon from the coin event, just to have one more CM character.

Also one more question, do Archers still have lower base AoE attack ratio than other classes? Or did they change it to be on par with others? Just trying to figure out if I could reach 20 AoE with my current gear.

mergen still have 0 SR in their skills, purely using your char AAR, not like swordman skill which already has +16 AAR included in some of their AOE skill
another AOE oriented char that doesnt need AAR gear but works efficiently is cannoner, sapper, wugu.

Mergen had always been able to do cm5 fast, the only issues were you have to be heavily invested and that you waiting on your skillsā€™ cooldowns make it slower than, say, diev statues that just do damage on a really short time intervals

hmm

you trade 13 hit x 225% x 2 OH of downfall lv 14
with 212% x 50 hit of sprinkle lv 5ā€¦ really smart!

@myself Didnā€™t even check the sfrs, was thinking more along the lines of what I currently use. Man people really donā€™t like sprinkle.

Correct me if I am wrong.

In 40 seconds, you get 52 hits of 225% lvl 14 Downfall vs 50 hits of 212% lvl 5 sprinkle.
This is assume you donā€™t mess up the cd of Downfall or mob doesnā€™t move outta sprinkle. I donā€™t see your gripe in the slight trade off especially getting a another skill unless I did some math wrong.

But I guess if zenith dmg helps take care of single target I will rework a bit.

based on my testing downfall every even level is +3 hit, and odd level is +2 hit. Downfall 14 is 50 hit, downfall 15 is 52 hit. I really like arrow sprinkle tbh, it looks like archer highest skill, and it can break any structure unit very fast (catacombā€™s summon scroll)

downfall lv 14 is 10 second duration. 2 OH means 20 sec, plus 20 sec CD (total 40 sec, same as sprinkle CD). So you get 2x 50hit x 225%. Downfall lv 9 is 37 hit last time i checked

so with your setup
downfall lv 9 37hitx 225% x 2OH
sprinkle lv 5 50-60hit x 212% (if all hit the target)
has more DPS than
downfall lv 14 50hit x 225% x2OH

My bad I took your post sarcastically. Thought you were criticizing going sprinkle when Downfall got buffed. In addition to the video of the new skills, the author didnā€™t put any into sprinkle which I thought was odd.

This may change if they need falconer and aiming, sprinkle might be more of a liability to use. But atm, I like it still.

Hey guys, returning player here. Trying to figure out a good path for my lv 130 character. I already took the Falconer path for the 2nd advancement, and now I have to choose my 3rd one. I know that Iā€™ll want Mergen in the end, but I think Iā€™ll leave it for when itā€™s buffed, on 4th advancement, Which class to pick besides them? I donā€™t much like Rangerā€¦ If you can change my mind about it, Iā€™m open to it, but would like some skill build for ranger too.What about Pied Piper or Wugushi? Also, Iā€™d like some advice regarding skills build for Mergen.

pied piper is a buff class, you can get +2 AAR to all your mergen skills

ranger is dps class, has +50% dmg with slow combo

if you dont want to be commited to DPS role (which require +16 T10 legendary bow at the very least, because +11 bow is given free from summer festa event and will be the normal/standard DPS) then you better pick pied piper. Falcon-pied is very useful at legend raid due to falconā€™s aiming and piedā€™s invicible dance

Hi all i want to ask about Ranger - Falconer - Mergen. like you all know AAR this class not good at all.
for AAR the Build what will be a big trouble if i dont use the Frieno set or Drakonas Frieno Set ??
cause the price and Frieno Neackle and Bracelet its very very rare in telsai.

what will be a big problem if Ranger - Falconer - mergen not use Frieno/Drakonas Frieno Set??

There is no problem not using them, but your build will be more efficient with themā€¦

You can use Phada bracelets for some cheap AAR, Solmiki necklace, and enchants from jewels that give atleast +1 AAR.

Dont forget camp food that provide +3 AAR
