Net is a throwing attack that hits enemies, yet despite activating something like Sapping Strikes just fine (indicating that it does indeed meet that criteria), it does NOT activate “Side by Side” node in Falconry and reduce the cooldown of Falcon Strikes like other throwing attack hits do.
I wanted to use this node and the similar node in Explosive Trap to rapidly reduce the cooldown of Falcon Strikes while throwing nets followed by traps, so this bug kinda throws a sizeable wrench into this build.
I don’t have the necessary ring affixes required to get 0 mana cost on these skills right now, so I’m gonna have to trust you that Sapping Strikes indeed works. Does it work only for the non-trap Net, or for the traps as well?
I agree that giving the mastery two throwing attacks that don’t synergize with this important CDR mechanic seems a little counter-intuitive.
I wonder if the issue has something to do with the “directly using an attack” wording, where the hit of Net and Explosive Trap seems to work a bit differently from regular melee/bow attacks or Shurikens, which don’t have the same AoE aspect to them.
Either way, I’d also very much appreciate if at the very least the non-trap version of Net proc’d the CDR, but personally, I’d like to see the traps also triggering it when the first trap from a direct attack is triggered.
At the very least, according to the 3rd-party database website, both Explosive Trap and Net seem to have the is a Hit text on them.
I was very excited for this build concept, a synergy between the throwing skills and Falconry, but unfortunately, it’s unusable without the CDR.
