[HuaSenti]

as the tittle say i wanna ask do flayer even work ? some how i feel the time it cost me to open wound with flayer 4 and not have it is the same tho, and when i am in coop 4 it still cost really much time to open wound
i use bow with piercing coating

wounds have 4 stages normal, white skin, open wound, closed wound. each one takes 200 dmg to go through the stage, then theres a slight cooldown. flayer only adds to some hits, not all of them. on average for GL it only saves 10-20 dmg per stage of MELEE dmg, shelling doesnt count.

then i guess it not that good for bow, guess i will go burst and crit again

Flayer isn't all that great on HBG either.

Burst is a 1 point wonder skill. It adds 6/7/8/9/10 (raw). So for 1 point you get 6, and it only goes up by 1 for consecutive levels.
