Scordeo's Edge + Salvation Time = funny synergy

[dunehunter]

The 3 second of Scordeo Edge -100% recovery time can be extended by Salvation Time. Therefore u get like 20+ seconds for lightning attack speed. This can be further optimized by picking Single classed Cipher and cast Time Parasite.

 

Here is my displaying video:

 

Screenshot of how fast u can go with Time Parasite:

Does the bonus from Scordeo’s Edge benefit from INT and/or PL? Does it still last for 3s if you pick the enchantment that increases the chance from 10% to 20%?

It benefit from INT yeah, only the 10% one.

Very nice find!

Wouldn't it be even more powerful to just spam nukes ridiculously fast?

It does, if you use instant cast spells like my 2nd video, bombing with unlimited mindblades.

Time parsite lol. Need a quick nerf. It is absurd : p

Nice find!

What about combining Salvation of Time & Blade Turning, perhaps on Xoti? That should work, right?

Yeah it worked I guess.

What I'm currently planning is a Nalzpaca / Ascendant using Scordeo's edge.

 

1. If I manage to trigger blade cascade (random factor is part of the fun ^^), it will last for about 10s (5s base since patch 1.1) with high INT and Duality of Mortal Presence.
2. No recovery will enable to reach Ascended quickly.

(Bonus Option) Once ascended, Blade Turning can be activated, 

3. A priest can cast Salvation of time.

4. Casting Brillant on the priest would enable repeating the combo for infinite No Recovery + Infinite Focus (+ Melee Immunity).

 

Many Cipher Powers have low cast time so Infinite Focus + No Recovery should be very powerful.

 

Nalzpaca / Ascendant is a solid multiclass on its own so I expect my character to have decent ceiling strength even if the full combo isn't triggered.

 

Do you have any suggestion or remark about this idea ?

 

EDIT : I should call him "the Ascending Anitlei"

Thought about that a while ago, but the chance is only 5% (or was it 10?) to proc.

[Elric Galad]

Chances are 5% for 5s cascade since 1.1. It used to be 10% for 3s.

 

So yup, this build would have a random factor ^^

It's rel. easy to proc reliably with any AoE weapon ability like Clear Out/HoF/Whirling Strikes. If you don't have those it's ideed quite random.

 

Monk's additional attacks through crits (Swift Flurry, Heartbeat Drumming) as well as Fighter's Mob Stance can help as well.

 

Also: Riposte or Barbaric Retaliation.

Yep, that's the idea : using One-Handed style and Borrowed Instinct to fish crits (and avoid misses), and Monk's additional attack on Crits and Increased attack speed to get more attack.

 

It won't be as effecient as AoE, but it will work against single foes.

 

The plan is ultimately to be able to repeatedly cast ectoplastic echo every half second against powerful single foes.
