Re: 7 WS Skillchain (New SAM WS Chains)

Ugh.

I made a little mistake. Using Tachi: Jinpu would be relatively useless without having warrior subbed, so the "Jump" would be impossible. That said; using a pair of Jinpu's *and* meditate should put me back at 100 tp.

So we're looking at 50 > 60 > 70 > 80 > 150 > 225+ if 7 is possible.

Re: 7 WS Skillchain (New SAM WS Chains)

heck 6 chains should be possible and 7 or more easily if you have a few sams willing to drop some TP on you, 2 sams could easily skill chain 12-14 times now that would be disgusting.

Ah, I see thanks.

Meditate's extra tick from relic head and hands takes care of that though from my experiences.

Re: 7 WS Skillchain (New SAM WS Chains)

Yeah... this is what one sam can do solo...

I'm wondering if this combined with the new changes to haste are going to make us a more definitive DD class moving forward.

Re: 7 WS Skillchain (New SAM WS Chains)

How about this:

Kasha (fusion, compression)
Yukikaze - detonation
Enpi or Jinpu - scission
Gekko - reverberation
Yukikaze - induration
Gekko - fragmentation
Kasha - light

Save for the one WS, that's all Yuki/Gekko/Kasha ... and if you could add more TP, you could extend it pretty much forever. Using Kasha instead of Gekko after the second Yuki gets you right back to the start...

Holy... only 5 mins?

That means on the smaller scale (7 SC is pretty ridiculous, and honestly, really not going to be useful considering most monsters it would be used on -dont have that much hp-) that you could potentially pair it with SATA for an amazing damage burst.

200 TP, Sekkanoki - SATA Tachi: Gekko > Tachi: Kasha (SC: Light)

Or, you could start with 200 tp and just toss Jinpu a few times and mix it in with meditate as a war sub, building up SC levels.

Sounds fun already, can't wait to get home and try it.

Ok...

1) Enpi(Transfixion/Scission)
2) Koki(Reverberation)
3) Koki(Impaction)
4) Jinpu(Detonation)
5) Jinpu(Scission)
6) Kasha(Compression)
7) Gekko(Darkness)
SAM friend offers this as a stronger Darkness, I'll try to work a similar Light out...
  1. Jinpu(Scission)
  2. Gekko(Reverberation)
  3. Yuki(Induration)
  4. Kasha(Compression)
  5. Yuki(Induration)
  6. Kasha(Gravitation)
  7. Gekko(Darkness)
Keep in mind the highest recorded SC is currently 6, no clue if the 7th will actually chain.

Re: 7 WS Skillchain (New SAM WS Chains)

Five minute recast? Damn that's pretty nice. A lot of people would figure it would be every 15-20 minutes since its potency.

Re: 7 WS Skillchain (New SAM WS Chains)

I'm just stupidly anxious for Wednesday now, my Nyzul static has 2 SAMs lol, I want to see if we can obliterate bosses with a 6-step Light.
