Azure Lore Upgrade

What's recast on Quad and Gobby Rush? Or Disseverement for that matter, gonna need to be <15 seconds for that to work. I also wouldn't count on being able to use CDC afterwards.

Yeah assume you'd use CA somewhere in there, so you probably would'nt have the tp to use CDC at the end.

Maybe try to do that SC towards the end of the 2hr. So when using a TP wing at the end, you're not wasting any of the 2hr, to end with CDC

CDC is a separate SC pattern. If you have or are using CDC, use the 3rd SC and nothing else. The other two are for if you don't have CDC. The one involving CDC allows for double light.

Skillchains cap at 6 per chain afaik

What I meant though, was that I wouldn't be surprised if they make it so that using a spell under AL removes our tp just like CA. Maybe they won't though, in which case you're right, that'd be a hell of a SC.

I tried Blazza's chain from this post (ty for the info Blazza)

Chain Affinity > Savage Blade > Quad Continuum > Azure Lore > Cannonball > Vertical Cleave > Ram Charge > Disseverement > Goblin Rush > Benthic Typhoon > Quad Continuum.

First try was an epic fail! my macros were not timed correctly and I had spells going off in the 1 sec you need to wait before the next spell can SC.
_____________________________________________________________________

First try I only had 3 SCs go off. I did not macro in gear I was wearing DD gear. I wanted to fix my macro timing and see the chains.
wearing: dusk gloves and Ledelsen +1, legs/head/body AF3+2, twilight belt, atheling mantle, rajas, spiral ring, Suppanomimi, Brutal earring, Shamshir x 2 (str & Dex), meat mithkabob

Atma: VV, MM, GH
Target: Adamastor, La Theine (A)

yup not the best choice in gear or atma but I was not after max DMG.
Total damage of WS, Spells & Skillchains in 36 seconds was: 14,154. AL wore Just before Quad. C. but I got darkness anyway. The macro times were all wrong, too fast.
_____________________________________________________________________

Second try had better timing 6/7 Skillchains(Lost Disseverment SC to my bad timing). Same gear but swapped DEX Shamshir for VIT

Atma: VV, MM, Mounted champion.
Target: Adamastor, La Theine (A)

Total damage of WS, Spells & Skillchains in 36 seconds was: 14,525. AL wore Just before Before Benthic Typhoon but I got Gravation.
Timing was correct after adjusting for the last hit in the long multihit animations. I'm sure I could tighten up the timing a little but I'm not convinced all steps can be completed and SC'd in the allowed time.

Both runs took the NM to 50% -ish putting him around 28-30k hp

Suggestions:
AL chains feed TP fast it'll be dangerous on NMs that tp para, silence, doom, petrify, etc. Dominion Screens & temp meds FTW.

build lights up, set WoR & dream Flower(set points are a tight squeeze), drag them to the ??? & weaken them, spawn NM, AoE kill mobs, 2h than spam keys with a macro >>
/item "Forbidden key" <stnpc>
and start again! you'll need the HP at that point too!

If your using a chain with Benthic Typhoon near the end use the spell when the NM is popped to lower its def before you chain and be sure you got enough on the recast time before you 2 hour.

have emergency macros in case a 1 hit spell misses to continue the chain. (I have no suggestions here yet, I need to do some study on that)

any suggestion on using this with a brew or a better AL chain with a brew? (I'm aware from other posts magic > physical for brew)

Atma? I'm thinking of piling on the Crit dmg & Crit hit rate.

Life of a BLU.

Blu magic doesn't crit without sneak attack. As for the macros, I wouldn't even try making one big one personally, I'd just menu select them.

Dumb question here, I use windower but never used spellcast (lost when i read some of the configurations). Am I able to set one mac for 2HR spells? If so how once I download it? I can fit the correct numerals for /wait in between spells, just want to avoid using multiple mac buttons to complete this.


Azure Lore > Vertical Cleave> Sub Zero Smash > Disseverment > Goblin Rush > Benthic Typhoon > CA+Efflux Quad. Cont.

Personally, I like the [Disseverment > Goblin Rush > Benthic Typhoon > CA+Efflux + Quad. Continuum] chain as it uses all of my best DD spells that I will already have equipped, and I can throw a Savage Blade in front of it if I happen to have TP and it will just bump each SC by 25% (and add one extra Distortion).

I used the above minus Savage Blade to take Alexander Prime down to ~44% upon engaging, and that was after Efflux failed to go off because I fumbled my macros.

I need to see if I can somehow tweak it to start with Benthic Typhoon for the DEF down on the initial hit instead of close to the end.

Unfortunately, once I get Almace, and if I want to take advantage of Double Light instead of CA+Efflux, I'll have to set some extra spells that I might never use outside of Azure Lore.

IS Double Light with CDC going to put out better numbers than just a single Darkness ending with CA+Efflux Quad?

Makes it 6 steps, ending in two level 3 SCs, the first doing 200% and the second doing 225% of CDC. Pretty hard to beat that.

can sumone test this one for me?
Whirl of rage > Vanity dive > detonation
>Empty thrash > Gravitation
>Sub zero smash > Fragmentation
> Goblin Rush > Light
> Chant du cygne > double light

If it works, I wonder if we can throw the whole update in there for supa update c-c-c-combo breaker!

chain affinity the Goblin rush

Close the light witha sengikori Sneak attacked Fudo insted of chant du cygne

Then have a cor with +2 feet light shot it

Then have a pld use a divine emblem holy to burst it!!!

Blue mage attack rating doesn't affect blue magic DD spell. So does enemy defense raise our blue magic DD spell ?? Usualy attack is compared to defense in the math begind de scene no ? Always tought DD base damage spell was affected by STR vs VIT of enemy...

He means the damage boost to the skillchain won't get any higher after the 6th weaponskill. Yeh they can keep going but the 6th one and everyone after will be capped at 90% of WS dmg for tier 1, 150% ws dmg for tier 2, and 225% ws damage for tier 3. But you can still boost it beyond that with JA's like sengikori and traits like Skillchain bonus.

just a thought but wouldnt a PLD using cover let the blu 2hr zerg then you have rest of the team come in and zerg whats left of the mob?

Would anyone happen to have a Macro set for this that they would be willing to post? Just wanted to try this out, if not then no worries.

Here is one with the macros and waits included:

Thank you very much =). One more stupid question lol does <echo> work on xbox 360?

/echo works on every console, it's a basic command~

Any testing to show if The Boosts to CA on the +2 hat affect spells under Azure lore?(thinking the game just has CA set to always on durring Azure lore now)

CA does a number of things other than simply letting spells skillchain and all of those properties are still tied to CA, not Azure Lore.

well atleast he answered the base question. <3 but still cute he assumed i didnt now what CA did.

Video I made trying to do it, missed first spell but rest chained for a 5 part skillchain.

I certainly assumed something, but that's not what I assumed.

hoooooooooooooooooooo

OH SNAP

Anyone come up with anything new or better since the update?

From what is posted above, Heavy strike can replace sub zero smash; and Amorphic spikes replace BT and VC for better damaging spells. But I'm just guessing haven't had the time to try it out yet.
