Re: Merits?!

I'm just going to ignore them. Screw it.

AM2 do decrease resistances to other elements. While this isn't always a big deal throwing out a flood (I think) could be useful before a volley of Thundajas (if blms ever do this) etc. They are also some of flashier spells in the game...

True...

Also: Long time no see, dude.

Yeah, I was deployed traveling around Afghanistan, Iraq and Oman.

Well I think I speak for everyone when I say that we're glad you're back safely.

Thank you for the freedom.

Re: Merits?!

Killer Instinct only really works if you're using a jug that's strong vs the target, which may not always be the case (especially vs HNMs)

I'd rather take Feral Howl with the extra +20% accuracy boost as an emergency aid.

Re: Merits?!

Thanks for all the feedback :D I'll re-read over it all when I start playing the BST.

Re: Merits?!

Small test sample but to each his own.
Removed some BA merits and put them in FH. Currently 4/5 FH. Also put on Monster Jackcoat +2 w/Augs (which probably does nothing acc wise).

Aby-La Thiene
Piasa – Attempt 1 - Miss
Piasa – Attempt 2 - Miss
Piasa – Attempt 3 - Miss
Piasa – Attempt 4 - Miss
Piasa – Attempt 5 – Miss
Piasa – Attempt 6 – Miss
Got bored and killed

Hadhayosh– Attempt 1 - Miss
Hadhayosh– Attempt 2 - Miss
Hadhayosh– Attempt 3 - Miss
Hadhayosh– Attempt 4 - Miss
Hadhayosh– Attempt 5 - Miss
Got bored and went to kill. I died at 5% because I was being a badass and meleeing. Got hit with curse followed by meteor

Rollanberry Fields
Urd – Attempt 1 - Miss
Skuld – Attempt 1 – Miss
Teamed up with people doing trials. So couldn’t get many in.

Pash Mallow
Yilbegan – Attempt 1 – Miss
Yilbegan – Attempt 2 - Miss
(died after 2nd attempt because I wasn’t 100% paying attention ><)

I’ll give it a shot in Salvage tonight. See if it works on any of the purse NMs or the chariot.

At the end of the day…Feral Howl is not looking to promising in my book. But Mal read wiki…he seems to know what he’s talking about.

Re: Merits?!

The +2 jackcoat increases FH's duration based on the # of merits. So at 5/5 it doubles it to 20 seconds.

And again, SE is changing how mobs resist shit in the next patch so testing now is honestly quite pointless.

Re: Merits?!

Then save your merit suggestions for after the update. Because you truly have no clue if FH will be worth it.

Pre-update, forget capping FH

can we at least agree on that?

Re: Merits?!

can someone post a link to the updates they have announced? I don't seem to have any source.
