Sky Arc Mage Concept - By Cella

Oh okay... Well yep maybe slower but remember, Magic Lance stopping power can stuck the boss inside magic storm

 

Well it's kinda different... Mine is not really status but DPS ><)/

 

Anyone know how long stop duration?

 

@Norcelia uses Lances to stop the mobs inside Storm, she might know exactly how much it lasts. I've noticed is more than 5 seconds though, it may depend on the skill level.

 

Lol it is dps the arrows just add ailments too i just nicknamed it ailment mage since arrow skills create status effects.
As for stop skills like earth bind its around 2-4secs depending on the lvl (1-10) etc

 

Thx guys...
my cousin made a mini build (lvl75) with oblivion book
Result : 1 seconds of Lance cast time is not a burden, she said moeba -> smoke dust -> Lance, Impact timing is a little longer than Magic Storm..
So it's like never ending storm we don't need to wait for storm end to cast next skill, we just spamm itt

 

ahh sorry my bad I thought chain cast increase all magic skills cast time after arrow. forgot c.c

 

btw what is stops cool down duration? when I was using earthbind it had a very long cool down. like 10-15 secs '~'

theres a trick to almost insta cast magic lance and magic javelin tho. ^_^. its with maxed chain cast.

btw lookin at your combo. its suitable for long run bosses(nurerot or any ultimate lvl bosses) only. let spar sometime ^_^

 

But chain cast... U need to use magic arrow at start right? And magic arrow is not strong plus long cast time

My cousin will use this build... I have no spina for character and its equipments + xtal TT

Anyway can u explain why magic arrow + chain cast good an dhow to use it?

 

Have maxed Chain Cast and place Arrows before the Lances. Also, try with swift instead of smite.

 

.......? What? I don't understand :/
If so i cant use smoke dust as safe and double smith..

 

Just mentioning how to fast-cast them.

 

Tried that. The problem is not with Lance cast time, even though it IS slow. The problem lies with Storm.

Only the first Lance stops. So after you cast Lance, the Lance will stay in the air for a second. That's when you cast Impact. The Lance will then shoot the target, that's when you channel (not cast) Storm. By the time you cast Storm, the stop effect is there. Great? Off by a couple seconds. The last 2-3 ticks of Storm when you want to keep target within Storm to get all 6 hits, is when Stop effect ends and target moves.

To reduce Storm channeling time enough to buy 2 seconds, you need 2k Cspd. With a Staff, at this point, not doable (not without drinking).

 

Chain cast buff will appear after you use arrow, and stay until you use a magic.

Chain cast buff reduce channeling time for next skill in half. Some will tell you it's a fix rate (1 sec), don't listen to those. It's a % and 50% at lvl 10.

So in your case, it cuts Lance down to .5 sec, but the problem (or I should say the skill that needs improved cast time), is with Storm, not Lance.

 

Arrow > Dust > Lance...

The chain cast buff will stay when you use Dust, since dust is a physical skill, not magic.

That's why magic swordsmen should exploit this function: Arrow > sword skills (as many as you need > spell...

The chain cast buff carries over until next magic is used.

 

But Cella, DONT use Artow. Mobea is the way to go. The only problem with this build is Cspd. That's why I was trying really hard to get Sunlight xtal, but no luck. Even with that, there's still a long way to go for 2k.

By the time you max DEX, this will no longer be a problem.

But by the time you max DEX, 4T skill will be out. That's why I gave up on it.

 

Trying builds like this make me think that either Asobimo is a big troll that they designed for awesome combos like this to not work. Or if they didn't do this intentionally, then they need to hire some combo experts to help them develop these skills.

 

chain cast max cut half your casting time. 1.1 magic lance will be cut to 0.55. with 300cspd. you will only deal with 0.2 (cmiiw). if you have dex. it will surely be insta cast in lv 105-110 ^^
btw magic arrow damage is almost as strong as lance due to nerfed at last year update(prolly only old players know this)
