I've been wondering, how exactly the Indigo runed Hungering Arrow works. in case you dont know the effect:
H.A.(lvl 60): Fire a magically imbued arrow that seeks out targets for 85% weapon damage and has a 35% chance to pierce through targets.
Indigo rune: Scatter Shot: If the arrow successfully pierces the target, the arrow splits into (1+runelvl) arrows. So with a lvl 4 rune, that's 5 arrow.
My question is, will these arrows still seek target, pierce at given chance, then (if the pierce was successful) split into more arrows ( I saw somewhere, that even unruned arrows can pierce multiple times).
I dont really know how the 85% and the 35% are calculated (these numbers are effective at lvl 60 according to the calculator), but if you take these numbers as given, and the skill works as I speculated in the previous paragraph, then doesn't this effect seem awesome (and OP)? You shoot once, have a nice pierce chance (1 out of 3 should pierce) then it splits into 2-8 arrows, so you have to be very unlucky, not to have at least one of them pierce again, and so on. You see a big group, shoot once, and watch as the enemies crumble before your eyes. Or you shoot it at a boss, it pierces, and he will get damaged by the infinite arrows until the end of the fight, like you put a dot on him.
Other things I can imagine, are that after the pierce, the arrows can't pierce again, or that they just shoot out in a cone, or that they cant turn back like the normal arrow, or that a single enemy can not be pierced by more than 1 arrow from the 2-8.
I'm interested in your opinions and thoughts in this matter
