Sharpentoothed Arrow- Ok I have a few things I would like to know about this skill mainly because I thought i was using it right, but then other people told me otherwise.

1. Does this skill make your squad get less experience?
-Example: using it on mobs in FCC

2. When is the best time to use this skill on bosses and mobs?
-I was using it constantly on bosses to keep it's hp low
-I use it on multiple mobs just because its an aoe (of course us archers have barrage and thunderous blast as well)

Thanks for all that reply to my post and its much appreciated.

    To your second question: use it on bosses near the start of combat, after the barb has hit a few times (preferably after he uses his aggro skill which appears as a big yellow semi translucent paw).

    It does not matter whether you use it again or not after this (for demon ST its good to keep using it to add +10 to crit). Some people think that using it again increases the boss hp (b:laugh). That isn't true, the HP bar jumps up because it measures % of total hp and by using ST again you decrease total HP making the bosses present HP a greater % of that total.

    So to sum up: use it at the start of the fight. Use it as much as you like (but there is no point using it again unless you have Demon ST).

    Oh yea and for mobs, I do as you do sometimes.

    i would like to add:

    try to run into boss when STing him so you make only 1/2 dmg with that shot..
    it isnt important now, but when you get highly refined endgame bow, that 1 shot can take aggro.. even if barb/bm landed 5-10 hits on that boss, i still sometimes take aggro with single ST..
    and then boss starts running towards me.. and then QQ starts "i'm wasting my spark on running after boss you fail no good nab gayish archer, go pick flowers nab and let us do the job.. #$%&$"#%"

    but dont do it on boss with close range aoe.. unless you can take few hits..

    Yes... high DPS is not always good, in squad... (though of course, sometimes is wonderful).

    Or equip a weaker bow... which is far less risky than running up to the boss to fire point blank...

    Who cares, does not last long, so full exp after, besides... STA is epic.
    I, II and III spark is the most cheesiest skill in PWI and it should be removed or massively nerfed.

    If you at any time used STA (within the first 15% of boss health), you will loose the exp. Use it in TT as no one cares about loosing 25exp. Don't use it in FF unless it's for the AoE. Then only after enough damage has been done.

    Yes I said 15% of boss health. Level 10 sta only reduces by 15%, the skill description is wrong.
    I'm hated by former friends, entire factions, PWE, and people I've never met before. I'm hated on servers I've never logged onto.

    ... and I honestly wasn't even trying.

    Enrage has nothing on me.
