[dev1299] So how do Aeonic Weapons/Ultimate Skillchains Work?

[Alhanelem]

I'm still wondering on the how it will work part... cause so far iirc they've only showed the merit ws closing the skillchain which could lead one to believe they are needed to close. But they've been very careful to say merit ws are for the aftermath and "appropriate" ws are for the skillchain which suggest others can as well

of course they're needed to close, because you can only do them with the weapons and they trigger the skillchain. double light/dark are a special property of the R/M/Es. A skillchain is calculated when a WS which will trigger one is used. So it would be "if this weapon is being used, use these skillchain properties instead of the usual ones" which is how the RMEs work.

I'm a bit confused at what you are trying to say. Relic and empyrean (not mythic) weaponskills merely have a lvl 3 skillchain property. It's no different than some having lvl 2s vs lvl 1 (and in fact iirc all relic/empyrean ws with properties have a lvl 2 one as well). And it's completely independent of the weapons. You can trigger double light/dark with any weapon as long as you use those weaponskills. So I'm really confused where you are getting this comparison/info.

Meanwhile so far these Aeonics they've said that when under the aftermath which is activated by merit ws that using "appropriate" ws will trigger ultimate skillchains. It's a huge difference and a very notable change in wording
