Just wondering when running Spec/Crit does the 2nd Doomsday still gain the credit for Igniter, it seems to fall off just before the Meteor lands, which leads me to think it doesn’t.
Right now at 1385 in Argos set getting the Solar Power Crit buff + Lostwind Awakening 7% + 600 Crit from Jewelry i’m pushing well into 90% crit rate while arcane is active.
Wondering if it wouldn’t be better to swap the crit jewelry for Swiftness to guarantee both Doomsday hit within the Igniter window.
Spells in Lost Ark don’t snapshot buffs at spell-cast, but rather at spell-impact.
So your second Doomsday, landing after your buff runs out, will not receive any damange or crit modifiers.
This means, it is very important to build your stats around this => You must cast your second Doomsday so that it lands BEFORE your buff runs out.
You lose big damage, if you dont manage this.
There is even a reddit thread, which explains how to achive this.
Tl:dr from reddit:
Without any swiftness, you need a minimum Lv7 CD reduction gem, better Lv9 reduction gem, for Doomsday.
With ~200 swiftness (e.g. best is just to swiftness on neck), you need a Lv 5 gem minimum, better Lv6 gem.
At 1210 Spec/650 Crit with a level 7 Doomsday CD reduction gem and the -12% CD Reduction Rune in Inferno w/ Charge Flame tripod I can land double Doomsday in the Ignite window about ~80% of the time. Thinking I’ll probably swap my neck to Spec/Swiftness after getting 5pc Argos this week, but since I’m still 3/3/3/1 without Precise Dagger I’m still a bit reluctant lol.
You can get 2 doomies in starting from 10% CD reduction but you have to cast igniter about 1 second before the first meteor lands and recast immediately upon CD.
Also, yes, your meteor has to land while igniter is active.
Yup that’s my rotation, pop igniter right before first meteor lands, then usually have 1-2 seconds to land the last one within the rotation, but lately since switching up some gear more into crit I noticed it was either missing or coming very close to missing.
Figured i’d confirm that if buff wears off first it’s a dead cast and add in a bit of swiftness to fix up the issue.
If you’re missing the second meteor, it is likely that igniter is being used too early. Really gotta get that igniter on riiiight before it lands with 10% cdr. 15% cdr give you like 1 more tick to cast the second one.
Something to note is that if you have any atk spd reductions from -engravings or etc it will also cause you to need more CDR or swiftness to land the 2nd one.
