New Avatar Skillchains

Anyone know the elements for the new 75 pacts?

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

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

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

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

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

Yep, garland of bliss into predator claws is light

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.

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.

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.
