Stratagems

[Rambus]

Magic Burst Helices, can even get Ebullience in before hand. Really wish SE would introduce means of extending Helix duration, I'm not to big on new spells with II on the end. I'd rather see targeting weakness or Magic Bursting play a role, since both seem strategic.

My memory is fuzzy, but I don't even think you need Alacrity on your second nuke. I think I just did Immanence then cast at least, using gear like AF Feet and AFv2 Hat to speed up casting. Only issue is if Quick-Magic procs, you're nuking in trash, though I wouldn't mind simply because I could Alacrity and Magic Burst with the very spell I just closed with.

How does a V spell cast in time using 2 jas?

the highest spell I done to use without it was III spells, and helix is actally a tricky timing, I failed making Helix end SC before ( was more showing people how scs mix, i normally dont use helix in SC)

yes i meant as a means of keeping low MP >_> and why would i bother doing self skill chains when i can oneshot non bosses in abyssea :P and yes you do need alacrity on the second cast if the spell is above a T3 spell, T4 cast about 2-3 seconds too slow to SC with another spell, and T5 is really really hard to SC with, you need to have some really good fast cast builds (damn near close to cap lol), gearswaps on your strat animations, and precise timing or macros, and yes, Ebulience bursting your helicies is AMAZING damage. ive gotten over 1k Helicies on bursts, i think my record was 2.5k helix on ironclad during 3x magic.

I dont use fast cast, it is all MAB/ INT as SCH/RDM, maybe too slow hitting macro? the timing is tricky but I am able, I showed how I macro on that thread.

But i do use those 3 jas and end with aero V to make SC
