i had the idea that the skill sharpened tooth arrow had to be re-casted to keep its effect. but now an archer who is higher lvl than me, (which confuses me because I would hope he knows what hes talking about at lvl 90+) he said that you must only cast it 1 time in the beginning. The skill says the hp decrease only lasts 30 seconds which put me under the notion that it has to be re-casted. can you clear this up for me please ..no opinions. facts please :)

    It can be only used once. Can't be stacked.

    Just to be nice then:

    Let's say your skill is at the level where it reduces max hp by 10%:

    Boss has 4.000.000 HP and hasnt been hit yet (so he has 4.000.000 / 4.000.000 hp), and you instantly use the skill ("reduce maximum hp by 10%"), which would give the boss 3.600.000 / 3.600.000 hp.
    If the boss doesnt get hit and you wait for the skill to end his hp will stay the same, but the "maximum hp" will go back to what it was at first. The boss would get 3.600.000 / 4.000.000 hp.
    So you knocked off 400.000 hp with just one attack.

    Let's say you hit it a bit, and just before the skill ends it is at 2.423.246 hp. His maximum hp at that point would still be 3.600.000, and giving him: 2.423.246 / 3.600.000.
    Then the skill ends, giving him 2.423.246 / 4.000.000 hp, after which YOU would do the skill again, giving him 2.423.246 / 3.600.000 hp again.

    So: utterly useless to cast again.

    So in other words.

    Use the skill as soon as possible once, and then never again on the same monster?

    Srry, its not my thread :P
