LOST ARK - Hallucination Igniter Sorceress & Advanced Rotations

[@aeyasera1]

big fan of the subtitles and editing showing the images in sequence when saint is doing the combos, really nice visual aid

[@walpurgisnight7]

Thank you for taking the time to create accurate subtitles. Much love from a deaf person!

[@Corgffee]

Xzii's ending has prooved streamers are not always right. Joking aside, fantastic editing and as always super informative for what's to come. Looking forward to more videos uploaded on YT! cough cough tooki tuesday vods

[@itsxxaii]

Thank you for putting subtitles with the video! It's really helpful!

[@krabby1288]

Love the editing on this one. Hope to see more maybe casual video's

[@Luc9Nine]

Thanks for the upload, the subtitles were nice too, because sometimes i am watching in a noisy place and can't really hear everything

[@_Tomon]

Excellent video, also love the subtitles :)

[@kurky72]

Great info as always can’t wait to try this out

[@Matheuszin197]

Would you say its better to use rime arrow + esoteric + frost call inside igniter everytime or sometimes wait for arcane to finish so you already start building meter again?

[@Saintone]

It's generally better? The only time I don't is if I need to re-align for a major damage window. Sometimes I cancel after Explosion and Punishing Strike if I want to immediately build meter again for something like a boss stagger in 20-25 seconds (based off the stagger bar for example). Like a half burst?

[@domee1122]

Thanks for the vid, looking forward to play with the set, really unlucky with crits on nightmare >.>

[@thelegendron6278]

Beautifully done. Maybe an aeromancer guide like this sometime in the future 👍

[@Mikihsa]

Damn, Arcane Cancel to maintain adrenaline that's realllly pogger ! Do you think it's worth it playing Spec/Swift with Adre/Hallu providing crit rate, using the Swiftness to make all of this (double Eso, more leeway on the in-between spell, movement speed, adrenaline management), especially in our current state of the game with lvl7 gems ? I want to build this way so I'm not reliant on support at all (especially, bussing)

[@Fenlen]

If you're considering swift you might just go the Dominion build.

[@JangJ]

This video was very helpful 👍

[@ZiuGigi]

just a curiosity...do u run squall for counter in raids?

[@XxGamersxXHGNR]

Amazing! thats help me a lot

[@Romeq07]

Is there a level of Doomsday Cooldown Gem that I have to have in order to double cast it within one hype combo?

[@MrQydarable]

Could it be possible for the spec/swift build to go with PD and Hallu to get a reasonable amount of crit to play around? Also the format with the subtitles is pretty cool and helps a lot understanding the explanation

[@_Tomon]

The Swift build will run into mana issues more easily I'm afraid with the setup, even if the crits seems really nice.

[@Tehkezah]

should be possible and imo the over all more solid build for anyone without lvl 10 cd gems, because you can easily fit more skills into ignite. I run dagger/swiftness 5x3 for months now on eu and regularly outdps cursed doll/crit sorcs with similar gear and ontop of everything you have a way better time playing, dodging and doing non-raid content with a bit of swiftness.

[@wjashin]

is this valid with relic hallucination set too? the numbers in our EU version of the game are i little bit lower, even if not by much. I think it's still viable tho and it would solve the big crit chance issue the sorc has right now

[@ZiuGigi]

Now that legendary pets are available in EU/NA, whih ability is best for igniter sorceress? Maybe Cheers of Resonance for the meter gain?

[@Osprey1994]

This build makes Igniter feel so much better, although the class still feels slow after getting used to Caster Reflux.

[@Patatmetmayo]

Consider going swiftniter, much faster casting and you can fit 2 of all the big spells and 3 of esoteric reaction/rime arrow in a single igniter. I used to be casting reflux, changed to a classless casting build with swiftness primary and finally settled on swift igniter as being the best feeling casting build (for me). Casting reflux isn't very good compared to the classless swiftcaster or swiftniter. And they are a lot cheaper to build as well.

[@ndragon88]

Hallucination on Mayhem Zerker follow the same principles too if we go 1k swift?

[@Votic98]

So if i understood it correctly the main advantage of hallu over nightmare is that its just more consistent in normal content where you dont always have crit synergies in ur team? And you also dont have to worry about mana burn/generate phase so hallu is just way more consistent/chill to play without being that much worse?

[@Luc9Nine]

its the opposite, nightmare you wouldnt care about mana burn, cuz it recovers mana. but yeah basically, full party sinergy> Nightmare has potentially more dmg, No sinergy > Hallucination has more dmg.

[@Votic98]

@@Luc9Nine ofc you care about mana burn as nightmare, literally the set has 2 effects and one of them is a mana burn phase. If you wanna utilize nightmare to the fullest you use igniter while having the dmg% buff effect, then drop below 30% mana after igniter ends and get the mana rege/cooldown buff which helps you to reach full idenity faster. Then right before you get full idenity again you should be full mana again and get back to the dmg% buff effect. And then you repeat that. And doing that correctly and perfecting it and not accidently going into a new state too early requires a lot of micromanagement. Ofcourse you can just turn ur brain off and not think about it, but then you will lose out on dps.

[@xcashux]

Does Igniter state must be on when skill hits, or its enough it has been casted while Igniter state was on but ends before skill hits the target? Im talking about arcane rapture ending state.

[@akybosule]

no one replied,so even if its late ...yes u can cast doomsday and then imediatley go in arcane mode,before it hits,it will have arcane buff

[@SeikomutedGataOo]

So if I grab Adrenaline instead of precise dagger is better going sub-crit or sub-swift? I tested both options in Trixion and it's seems that I need the cast speed of the swiftness to have more consistency on landing doomsday+frost call

[@_Tomon]

There is also big difference in CD gems levels and that makes the Swift better (or at least easier) to manage. Kinda depends on what you want to achieve. Possible the highest numbers but harder to play? Or less risky play which can even be more enjoyable for lot of people, but having slightly lower ceiling?

[@HouseofGausss]

@@_Tomon going swiftness doesn't reduce damage ceiling my friend. You will see the highest no. In both spec/swift and spec/crit. It's just that you touch the big dmg numbers More frequently in spec/crit. Considering that swiftness gives you decent cdr and kinda ensures that you land your skills every single time, it makes up for the lost crit chance imo

[@carloyuhico]

the arcane rupture one is new to me omg.

[@gaborvandor3662]

@Saintone You show how can u put 2 rime arrow or esoteric into ingnition, and you said both is fine. But esoteric is not elemental skill, it does the same dmg during ignition, or is it changed in KR version? I need asnwers pls, my esoteric hits 1.8 mill in and out ignition, my game is broken? or could it be you dont know this?

[@captaincakes3131]

When using Light of Salvation card set at 12 awakening allows esoteric to be affected by the dmg buff from arcane rupture. Because all your dmg is converted to light and light is considered an elemental type

[@mixtwomimo]

for the adrenaline priming combo, will that let you cast doomsdays twice within 1 ignite???

[@Saintone]

Yes, it's a normal rotation, just demonstrates how to build 3 stacks of Adrenaline before the combo begins, since Doomsday + Frost Call + Arcane Rupture accounts for the other 3 stacks.

[@ttj123456]

With the nightmare set, would the tripods for doomsday, punishing strike and explosion be altered? Currently I am using mana on doomsday and punishing strike and ignite on explosion. Should I change it to ignite on doomsday and explosion and AOE on punishing?

[@Crazytowngaming]

With nightmare u Will not have mana issues, so u dont need mana tripods, use the damage ones

[@anonvoila4883]

This what i needed i've stuck at dps wall and this rotation update will fix that

[@DeepDivesWithUs]

do you need to have a full gauge before you start your rotation? im getting up a new alt and i find it so effortless to just get 30% gauge, doomsday punishing explosion and rinse & repeat. (im full lvl 5 gems so i wouldent be able to double doomsday without swift on neck) but are there any other downsides to popping your stuff at 30 gauge othen then not being able to do double doomsday?

[@Saintone]

The benefits of the Igniter buff only apply when using the buff at full gauge. The playstyle you're describing is a type of build, but you wouldn't use your class engraving with it.

[@DeepDivesWithUs]

@@Saintone oh wow, good thing i asked i have never waited for full gauge, thank you for answering!

[@alanwake4537]

@@DeepDivesWithUs you lose dmg, and not get your cd halved if you pop your igniter before full gauge. The only you get probably the casting speed time

[@honeymarinade3935]

May I ask you to clarify on why you wouldn't choose Keen Blunt Weapon if you're over 70% crit? Majority builds that run KBW recommend minimal 60%.

[@aguardente6531]

81% crit chance is required for Keen Blunt Weapon to outperform 16% damage during Igniter. 545 Crit stat (necklace + horizontals) = 19.5% crit Igniter Engraving = 25% crit Hallucination LvL2 = 25% crit = 69.5 Which means to use KBW we require a source of 12% crit. This would either be an 18% crit synergy active for your entire ignite OR 15% crit from Adrenaline.

[@ulla356]

Hello, Saint this is amazing thanks for explaining it in detail, question.. SORC is good for ALT? at this point in NA server we are not up to date to KR content and I would like to know your opinion on valuable ALTs for us in the Western.. thanks in advance! Darkblood Ulla.

[@BigHalfSteps]

Depends. Sorc deals a lot of damage even if not much invested in, but if you want to get out max potential then it gets really pricey with high lvl gems, engravings are in demand. But in general, ye a good alt.

[@ulla356]

@@BigHalfSteps thank you man! I will proceed with my alt sorcerer now !

[@54321eclipse12345]

Does this work with the relic version of the set?

[@DoktorrKARA]

Yes it will work but we need to get last balance update korea got. Because with that patch hallucination effect changed. you can find article on maxroll

[@achimouwu1503]

sitting here and still waitting for your swif build xD

[@okami66.]

but, wouldnt blaze also increase doomsday 6% of its dmg? is that still far off than using frost call/rime arrow?

[@Saintone]

Use Blaze before the entire rotation begins! Blaze should be on the enemy all the time anyways.

[@benjik3161]

i run 5x3 but with dagger because i got lucky on my dagger rock so would i go for nightmare? also how i used rupture is first i use the explosion and punishing strike then i do doomsday and rapture so the other 2 skills got maximum cool down reduced in my head its like getting 2 free skills also i use blaze between doomsday and rapture. well saw the end geus ill stay nigtmare

[@Lonehawk2k4]

yeah stick to nightmare since pd with hall like saint said is over doing it on crit rate

[@ikoutshi1608]

Would it be worth to invest in a Esoteric Reaction lv9 CD gem then ? Just to be able to do the double eso rotation even with a lv 7 atk gem?

[@Saintone]

I think things like a high level Doomsday gem are more important, as well as damage. The extra damage from Arcane Rupture is nice on the second Esoteric Reaction, but not vital, and if you do decide to Quick Preparation Rime Arrow, you can do double Rime Arrow with a lower level gem, though it's less convenient since you have to burn spacebar for that.

[@ikoutshi1608]

@@Saintone Sorry I should've mentioned my gem setup ahah, I already have doomsday atk 10 with CD9, and Explosion & PS Lv 9 atk too and I'm kinda stuck on deciding which gem should I buy right now which is why I considered lv9 esoteric CD as my next buy. I was also thinking about getting all lv 9 atk gems but I feel like Eso CD might be better first since I would be able to do it twice in one Arcane Rupture rotation compared to the rest. Maybe CD10 doomsday ? Idk Thank you for the answer though!

[@Saintone]

@@ikoutshi1608 I don't think you can really go wrong with any of these options.

[@adhamzaineldin4326]

Can someone explain something to me when the effect is up it only give 5 percent crit chance and 25 percent dmg ik this is bec its lvl 1 but where does 25 critchance come from

[@Celiken]

The 4-piece set also gives crit rate % (15/18/20). The 6-piece gives another crit rate % (5/7/8). Damage % comes from 2-piece (13/15/17) and 6-piece (12/14/15)

I have 75% crit chance right now without Hallucination Set and barely ever crit. That's so frustrating and makes 0 fun.

[@Matheuszin197]

Is inferno always better than seraphic hail Saint?

[@Saintone]

At that low level, I don't think it really matters. Inferno is just convenient because it doesn't use any tripod levels to generate decent identity gauge, it has weak point as versatility if you need it, and it's point-and-click and instant.

[@ZiuGigi]

Is it normal that i can barely land a second doomsday with a spec/crit build and a lv 8 CR doomsay gem ? ç_ç

[@Saintone]

It's normal, yeah. It's a little bit easier with more attack speed from buffs, but level 8 is a little bit tight.

[@ZiuGigi]

@@Saintone thanks! Do u suggest a lv 9 cr gem or do u think it would not change so much?

[@DoktorrKARA]

with 8 lvl cd gem you need to spam 1 sec before cd comes so you can cast insta when cd ends. otherwise high chance arcane rupture will end before it lands.
