A Ciar Advanced run using crash shot and pet tagging. I ran out of Slayers music on my computer, so added some Fiction Junction. ^_^ The same tactic can be used in hard mode dungeons such as Rundal Siren (except for black ship rat rooms) and shadow missions for faster exp and better rewards.
The tactic shares similarity with pet+thunder play, as crash shot has the exact same explosion radius as thunder's radius (700). However, only the enemy that you target will aggro you, and that enemy also gets dealt extra damage during the explosion depending on how many enemies are hit by fragments. More motivation to gather extra enemies. :p
You also need a good 5-6 pets to cycle since crash shot doesn't really "protect" your pet, i.e. you have to unsummon your pet to save it in case your shot misses, or when fragments don't kill enemies.
Btw just as a diffrent way how you could do this kind of thing is if you use crash shot pointblank of the enemy to hit alot then unmount and load crash again and shot it also point blank you can get 2 off befor you even get any aggro because they would aggro your pet, this method would best be used if you do need to use more then one though, and also if you have enemys closer

@drantino Hmm yeah that might work and be faster, but it takes fast reaction speed in case your second crash shot misses a group. I'm not willing to die a bunch of times to get it right... :(

1:vary nice crash shot really dose help with doing things like this
2:what bows you useing in the run?
3:lawls not mabi recorder, mabi's recorder sucks for recording for long
4:its also hard to find ciar runs where people do things well like this

@drantino My bow is just an upgraded composite bow, non-enchanted. With archer destiny and lots of dex, it's not necessary for ciar advanced. I use my better weapons for harder dungeons though.

@drantino 3) I use Fraps. It runs smoothly for me. Mabi recorder fails.
4) Most of the good people are off doing elite shadow missions and such. I revisited Ciar advanced because I felt nostalgic, and I wanted to test out tactics.
