Bounty shot not proc'ing?Follow

So I was in an Aby-miseraux party tonight on bugards. And every time I used bounty shot the log said "it has no effect on the Abyssobugard."

I've not seen that with other mobs I've fired on. So are there some mobs this doesn't work on? Was it because we had a THF in the party and it doesnt stack with TH? Of course I can't say it's made a huge difference when I've used it.

If you have a THF, it will give you the no effect message. When you don't have a THF, it won't give you a message at all. However, my friend who has been after Pluvaile (1/15) got it tonight after I used Bounty Shot for the first time. All previous runs had TH4. I'm guessing it's luck or the full effects of Bounty Shot and TH would be too great for them to stack?

Well that's just a swell ability. Can't use if you have a THF in alliance and has a 5 min timer. And it's not that powerful from what I've seen unless it specifically targets rare drops and not common drops. Maybe SE just wanted all the RNG's to go out and get their V Bows if they didn't have them already even though they are obsolete.

I'm surprised they didn't put it on the same timer as barrage.

To be honest i have no idea what this ability is about. i did some testing yesterday. i tried using it on mobs and then having thf attack it and we still didnt get the rare drops. even after triggering blue.

i want to believe that it's not just another TH. since having multiple thf's will have the TH just keep stacking up. seems no point in having rng there at all. at least for the TH i mean.

though i wonder how a rng with /thf would work out. since that TH doesnt stack the same. gonna have to do more testing i guess.

Also realized this ability doesn't work if you sub THF. Went out to get the seedspall astrum for my stupid butterfly emote as RNG/THF. Used bounty shot on the first yagudo even before I'd engaged and got the "no effect" message.

Admittedly its a decent pulling ja since it works at range and is instantaneous. Too bad most things aren't competitive pulls anymore.
