ok so I thought it would be (180+your base dmg)x6 if the target has 0 def, but its not, the 5 other hit is almost half of the dmg of the first hit…here is the screen shot
as you can see the first one is around 1k, but 2nd-4th is around 500-600, i know there is a mini dmg and max dmg but…can the different be huge?
and alos sometimes bounce shot only hit 3 target(the target you aim and 2 additional target) it that a bug or it has something to do with aoe ratio?
The skill is not a true multi-hit ability. It deals a single instance of damage with a 600% Skill Damage modifier (t1). For the sake of making it look nice, it only appears to be multi-hit with a large variance in displayed damage.
And as to why hits 2-5 seem to deal less damage than the first, it is because non-base damage (Critical Attack, Elemental Damage, Size Damage, Racial Damage) for whatever reason gets added to the first hit after being multiplied by 6 instead of being divided equally.
Has to do with the angle at which you attack. Split Arrow has the same problem where it will sometimes fail to hit targets within bounce range simply because of how you’re facing the target.
People have tested that bounce arrow does in fact get affected by aoe attack ratio, and it gets capped out at 6 monsters hit.
It’s a very poor skill for having such a dumb restriction for doing so little damage.
People also need to stop justifying going 3 ranks into ranger spiral arrow, it’s an extremely underwhelming skill. The only thing good about it is it’s instant cast time but the cd is way too long. If it was 17 seconds like barrage or multishot, it would be much nicer to use. But 36 seconds is way too high for a skill that has such poor single target damage.
Possible buff maybe? Ranger3 is in a poor place right now.
yeah totally agree, no wonder Dream said ranger c3 is bad, I should go fle c2…but maybe it will get buffed, who knows XD
Bounce arrow affected by aoe attack ratio is just wrong, it shouldn’t be like that.
thanks for the reply…god i should take fletcher…IMC really need to write better skill descriptions
What’s your current build? Fletcher is not worth taking unless you can get fletcher3. Instead you can go the route of cannoner or musket, while making a fletcher 3 from scratch.
im at archer1>ranger c3>scout>rogue, im taking musk at r7
