Despite the server issues, I’ve made it to monos on day 1 (late day 1, I might add). But since, I’ve been rollin’ over monos with a Poison Falconer. Poison converted Net, Bladestorm Umbral Blades, Falcon Strikes and Shurikens for bosses. FOr defenses, high armor, 100% glance chance, decent leech and heal on bird-hit, shift built for all of the healing. Absolutely rolling empowered monos and loving it. What is everyone else doin’?
Atm. I’m doing Dive Bomb/Explosive Trap Falconer. With the node that makes them interact. Before that I was just doing a general Falconer that just cycles through the abilities. Nothing too special about it. Just cycle between Trap and Bomb
Right now I’m building a Shadow Dive Bomb Falconer that uses Dark Quiver for a friend and it looks really fucking fun. Dark Quiver finally doesn’t suck with Falconer. Cause you can control where the arrows drop better. I’m thinking of switching over to it to properly build it out and test some things. (I really want to try it with Smoke Bomb as the movement skill) Most likely going to make a post about it when the build is fully completed.
Smoke Bomb covers the whole map. Get as many shadows out as you can and spam Shadow Falcons. For general clear. You hit Aerial Assault. It spawns a Dark Arrow that spawns a shadow. Then hit dive bomb. It gets even crazier with the node that turns your normal falcon into a shadow falcon. Any arrows you pick up on the way is just bonus shadow falcon clear.
A lot of people skipped on this cause Dark Quiver has a reputation. However, it was surprisingly difficult to even theory craft this with how much there is to support it.
Nice! I went through the same boat of experimenting with skills before I was content with the build. Net traps casting Puncture felt really clunky and is terrible with poison bc the nodes leading to bleed → poison on Puncture add 15 mana cost that makes it basically unplayable for poison.
I had wanted to try out Dark Quiver, I’m glad it sucks less. I might give it a go but I have so many characters I wanna make. Thanks!
