Kaustra/Embrava

5*2.5 = 12.5 minutes
really...really not that hard to figure out

389 skill was getting 3/tic regain

Kaustra did 600 DMG

WoE #6 on one of those cerberus mobs....it made the fight go MUCH faster XD

i have been playing with kaustra a lot on nms, it's very powerful, i used it on kur/isgebind/dragua, they go down very fast , embrava good for AV zerg too

Ok we all know Embrava is enhanced w/ Light Arts/perp but I believe its also enhanced by aurorastorm and rapture. Now this could be true or not..but I know in Abyssea I get Regen+50 Regain 4/tick idk attack speed w/ aurora and rapture.

However when I had just voidstorm up I got Regen lowered, and Regain 3/tick idk atk speed.

all i know is...perpetuance without the +2 hands buff makes it last about 5 minutes....didnt fix my spellcast so i didnt get the hands bonus on it...but if i did womg

From what I found out about Embrava is that there are only 2 things that really enhance its potency. 1st Light Arts: This makes your Embrava a 50hp/tc regen, 4tp/tic regain and idk about haste. 2nd head+2: It increase the regen effect to 55hp/tic.


Maybe you just Dark Arts active or no Art at all. Yesterday in Einheriar I still got 55hp/tic regen and 4tp/tic regain with only Light Arts active in double dark weather.


Embrava without any enhancements lasts for 5 minutes. So with Perpetuance and no +2 hands it lasts 10 minutes. With Perpetuance and +2 hands 12 minutes and 30 seconds.

This was something else i was wondering. Haste(spell)15 + SoulVoice(Marchx2)40 + Embrava33~... this is how much increase in attack speed for zergs? 92%

Embrava + Glavoid = lol

FTFY

cap is 85%

And then gear would put us at 111% Haste :O Not to mention Dual Wield. Epic attack speed!

get.... out....

From my personal testing over the past 2 days:
Embrava lasts 5mins without Prepetuance.
Kaustra kicks ***.

I cast Haste and Embrava on my MNK friend the other day fighting Yaanei (pretty sure he has 25% in gear.) It was non-stop like Hundred Fists :D He got a bit upset actually, it made getting staggers harder with the mob dying so fast.

-----------

I was feeling geeky the other day and made a graph of Haste vs Relative attack rate, maybe here is a good place to put it. I was trying to work out what the name of this shape is.(It's a hyperbola ;))


It's interesting to see the increasing returns of Haste.

• 25% (Full attack gear) will make you hit x1.33 as often.
  

• ~40% (Haste+Embrava) only x1.7
  

• 65% (Magic+Gear) Together ~x2.9
  

• 75% (+SAM Hasso) ~x4 attack rate. [Wait, someone get me a SAM in full Haste equipment right now!]
  

• 80% should be x5. (the difference 5% Haste makes,...)
  

I've just noticed the wiki says the magical haste cap is around 44%, which is roughly Haste + Embrava. I don't know how accurate that number is but,... March {Do you need it?}?^^

Wiki said it was 80% but meh.

Sorry, my posts get long and pointless but the magic cap thing was probably relevant. ;)

just played with kaustra today again, did 2447 initial dmg, i was dealing like like 3.5% dmg per tic on this nm, using ultimate,mm and beyond atmas with 389 dark magic skills , dark weather +klimaform and ebullience/dark obi/twilght cape/portents pants, af1 body , i almost killed it... but i left him with 5% hp lol, no meds or magician trials staff used, i love these new spells

White Grimoire does nothing, because your magic skills are already at B+ from using 2hr. I tried various things on test server, and only enhancing magic had any effect on how strong the spell was. As I said earlier in this thread, when I have enhancing magic 454, I get 65HP regen 5TP regain and ~31% haste. If you want it to be stronger, add more skill.

Oh, my mistake then. I could have sworn that I heard that is was 85% somewhere.

lulz. Thats like warp 10, infinite attacks attacking everything at once. Nothing survives!!!!!

yea...my spellcast wasnt spellchecked before i hit save and i didnt have the +2 hands properly spelled so they didnt change in ;_; but that was the best 10 minutes ever in WoE...

also:they need to give us our AF3+3 now....

Wouldn't even affect the mp cost ;) Although admitedly, the only help Light Arts would be is via your AF1 legs, oh and recast times.

I forgot to add in my previous post, you can cast (with Ascession) Embrava on any PC (outside PT) and NPC in Beseiged.
Also I got a Dark Magic skill-up for casting Kaustra.
-----

Back to Kaustra, I have some SSs, but no real testing results. :s
I didn't SS my pokings of Sisyphus and Hedjedjet, but the dots on them were 1% per tick. I know Sisy has ~58k hp, so 500+ damage/tick. Unfortunately my Kaustras only seem to last for around a minute. I timed my first on Hedjedjet as 1 minute, but the second cast lasted over a minute but unfortunately at that point I died and it wore.(MM, Beyond, Cosmos)

On the dolls; I did a 3,260 normally(I think) just MM, Beyond (+ Royal Lineage) The dot would then be about 9-10% damage per tick (which is roughly 500-550dmg,...)
My best so far (MM, Beyond, Cosmos) (Don't have Ultimate ; ; )

Some consistency;


As for Manifestation, nice numbers in Abyssea:

Random numbers before I "left" Dynamis-Jeuno:


Another pointless post \^^/

Is it time to merit Focalization and Equanimity again?

I don't know how bad the hate generation is but in a party situation, if you cast Kaustra you don't want to pull hate and die.
And I'm not sure how important accuracy is.

You died to that NM? My grandma can solo that NM easily by kiting around.

Delay reducation caps at 80%. DW and haste aren't additive. Magic haste caps at 50%, JA 25%, gear 25%.

when did magic haste cap at 50%? been 40 something since as long as i can remember

I just got a 50% resist on a Manifestation + Kaustra. The mob that got the 50% resist took about twice as long to die. It's hard to tell exactly, but it was definately longer. I think I will re-merit Focalization.

Since there's been a haste/delay cap.

Hmm really think you should check your sources on that, pretty sure it's been 43.75% for years.

Oh right, 444/1024. My bad.

And gear is 256/1024, along with haste gear not giving exact values listed on gear. (just in case someone asks)

one thing for sure i can solo more stuff than your silly blu, i was not even trying to solo this nm but standing in a corner getting hit, keep hating

lol'd, no.
