How To Improve Dualcaster

Easy to setup, also with unlimited potential and power

2 of 16

Compare Simplified Dualcaster against Advanced Comet Setup

  • Simplified Dualcaster
    • Pros
      • Easy to setup
      • Never have extreme cases (robust against enemy hits, shock etc.)
      • Very safe (with tons of CC, also can go high fire resistance)
      • Tons of free Passive points to spend elsewhere, therefore high dps potential
      • High flexibility with Spell Combinations
      • Very cheap to setup (currently, about 360~400 exalts are enough for starter setup)
    • Cons
      • Starter Setup does lack DPS when doing high level content like T4 Simulacrum or Arbiter etc.
      • If every other condition is the same, it deals about 10~12% less damage compared to Advanced variant

​

  • Advanced Barrier Invocation Comet Build
    • Pros
      • High dps at initial setup, thx to comet being the highest DPH spell in game
      • 1 Comet / BI and 3 Comets / BI have extremely high damage output
    • Cons
      • Rebalance needed for every single gear change or level up
      • Sensitive to Enemy hits and shock
      • Tons of Passive Points locked to give Energy gain, means less flexibility, and less Point for DPS

Simplified and Advanced is all about flexibility not the Power potential

Improve Flask coverage for Mist King and Arbiter

Base Knowledge:

    • Initially, 10 charges consumed per use, Effect lasts 3s
    • Increased flask life recover rate reduces the duration
    • Increased flask effect duration increases the reduced duration
    • Alchemist’s Boom, Fine Belt etc. generates small amount of charges per Second
    • Reduced charges per use are additive and reduces the charges used effectively

​

Boost/Increase the charges gained per second
