[Lost Ark] Reflux Sorceress Hard Kayangel Gate 1-4

[@arcfaire]

Some notes: Gate 1: Not much to say about this one, felt like a guardian raid. Our group had pretty bad stagger so some checks were a bit annoying. The pattern where it flies up into the air then lands just wastes time. Gate 2: My least favorite gate in this raid. This guy moves way too much and while there are some recognizable patterns, he'll often just teleport or dash pretty quickly making it hard to damage him. x55 kind of feels like Kakul G2 maze after you get used to dodging. I was a bozo and dropped a puddle in the middle making this fight much harder and longer :^) Gate 3: A breath of fresh air after the last one and my favorite gate in the raid. Attacks can hurt, but are all fairly well telegraphed and easy to dodge. Much easier to DPS since the boss doesn't move as much. Spacebar pattern is fun in a weird way haha. I like the elemental triangle theme and the fact that you can cover for other party members in the counter and rings pattern. Gate 4: A pretty fun and satisfying fight overall, just behind Gate 3 for me. Like Brelshaza G4, it's overwhelming at first but then you start getting used to it. I switched out DD for EX after feeling like DD was too clunky and slow. We didn't do a great job at buff management this run. There are some great patterns to go full goblino and greed for DPS which is nice. Post x60 shadows are still pretty scary but the spacebar trick feels pretty consistent. Hope your prog week is going well =)

What's the x60 post shadow spacebar trick? Need some context

[@arcfaire]

wait for the purple "gaze" text to disappear, then spacebar into the shadowed area

Hey Arc, just wanted to let you know ever since I took your advice and made some changes, I’m having much more fun on my reflux and my damage is much better! Thank you again 😄

[@arcfaire]

glad to hear i was able to help =)

I feel like with this wild amount of boss movement reflux actually does really well. You have almost guaranteed uptime on a rotation or two whereas for prog burst classes are suffering in Kayangel rn bc of finding a good moment to use everything. At least what I've heard from master summoner and igniter players' opinion wise rn.

[@arcfaire]

yeah the other sorc in my party is igniter and he did not have a good time whatsoever haha

[@jackestew]

arc, i'm using the same build as u in g4 (seraphic instead of frost call, but i'm using dd instead of explosion) and i have a question: do u think explosion is better than doomsday for reflux sorc? i'm testing some small changes to see if I can improve my overall dps. Also, for lvl 9 gems which skills do u think are the most important ones?

[@arcfaire]

dd is better burst and about the same dps provided you land it consistently ex is easier to land and more reliable which is why i used it in g4 - i would have used it in g2 too if prog took longer eso/rime > blaze/rg > sh > ps/ex/dd for gems

[@ThienNguyen-iu8rm]

i recently switched ti swiftflux and it is so fun in kayangel

[@frankiieh4963]

Hi, Arc. My friend just joined me and he ended up inheriting his cousin's Mage Account which is decently geared but with shitty gems (Lv7's). Considering he still has a long way to get Lv9/10's would you go for Swift Igniter or rather go Reflux if the damage is not that noticeable. He's 1570+. Would really appreciate your insight. Thank you very much!

[@arcfaire]

tell him to go to trixion and try out both and see which he finds more fun

[@angeloreyes8564]

Hi, can u show ur actual build for reflux bro?

[@jhokarinquintero3823]

X2 I want to know if is full crit or full Swiftness

[@angeloreyes8564]

@@jhokarinquintero3823 he play full crit with nightmare set, i want see tripod and engravings only

[@arcfaire]

it's full crit, build is on my channel

[@st0rmbreaK]

I was groaning for every doomsday that was missed in G2, it really doesn't feel nice especially when Tienel moves out of it at the last second I find that Doomsday is good when the boss barely moves at all such as Brel G4, you get significant amounts of uptime on it If the boss moves too much, Explosion is better and more consistent

[@arcfaire]

yeah which is why i switched haha

[@figorex2285]

And how does the sorc gets always pulled on the g4 and not dying lol

[@arcfaire]

[@rivo27]

is frost call better than seraphic just for kayangel?

[@arcfaire]

reflux really shouldn't be using frost's call but i just didn't change my build until gate 4

[@Amanda-de2lf]

@@arcfairehey! Do you mind explaining why reflux shouldn’t be using frost call and what do we use instead? 😊

[@figorex2285]

are u using script for spacebar or what XD

[@arcfaire]

no just spacebar after the purple "gaze" text disappears - it's pretty consistent
