New Avatar Skillchains

[Clou777]

Anyone know the elements for the new 75 pacts?

[Metaking]

i think its ifrit = fusion, garuda/ram = frag, leviathan/shiva =distortion and titan = gravitation

[Rakshaka]

They also have lvl 1 skillchain properties, which we need to discover.

[Metaking]

i would be serpised if the level 1 sc props dont match the avatars base element

[Clou777]

the picture on the job adjustments shows a summoner soloing light with garuda. how is this possible?

[Metaking]

Garland of Bliss is the only way i can think of it being possible

[Rakshaka]

Yep, garland of bliss into predator claws is light

[Artharian]

Apologies if this has been asked and answered but...do we think it will be possible for the Avatar to self skillchain through Astral Conduit?

Art.

[Metaking]

for 1 smn i dont think it would, but 2 smns could garuda/ram(frag) to ifrit(fusion) should be light, and you could mb it too >.>;

Here's the level 1 SC properties of the 70/75 physical BPs:

Eclipse Bite: Scission
Mountain Buster: Induration
Chaotic Strike: Transfixion
Spinning Dive: Detonation
Flaming Crush: Reverberation
Rush: Scission
Predator Claws: Scission

I think they decided these properties via D8 dice roll. At least the lvl 2 SC properties make sense.

You can have a lot of fun with Shattersoul too, particularly paired with Apogee. Shattersoul + Rush is Darkness, and you can magic burst Heavenly Strike on that. Shattersoul + Flaming Crush is Fragmentation, and another Flaming Crush on top makes Light. Magic Defence Down on Shattersoul makes it even more entertaining.

[Rakshaka]

Here's all the useful self-skillchain level 3 combos that I can think of with the newly SC-able pacts:

Light:
Garland of Bliss <-> Chaotic Strike
Garland of Bliss <-> Predator Claws
Shattersoul/Retribution -> Flaming Crush -> Flaming Crush

Darkness:
Shattersoul/Retribution <-> Rush
Shattersoul/Retribution <-> Spinning Dive
Crescent Fang -> Eclipse Bite -> Shattersoul/Retribution
Spinning Dive -> Starburst/Sunburst/Cataclysm -> Spinning Dive

Note: with enough fast cast and smn cast time merits, it's possible to self SC with 2 pacts from two different avatars using Apogee e.g. Chaotic Strike -> Flaming Crush = Light. The mob will be stunned while you pull this off, which makes it a decently safe combo.

The avatar can also solo skillchain now with Apogee (or the 1hour) which is pretty awesome too :p

I hadn't considered 2 different avatars though, I'd think even if you instant cast, there'd be too much delay before you could get another bp off.

I've tested it; it's possible to perform a skillchain with 2 different avatars.
