BDO - Sage Succession - Stars End - 16k.2k/h | x4 Elites.

Combo: 1. S+F - LMB to kill the crystal. This should be enough, but if not all damage is applied, I usually press S+E or Shift+LMB. 2. Before mobs spawn: Shift+X – hold X to kill mobs from the previous pack and for healing. If there are too many mobs, I can use Shift+RMB. Shift+LMB – for AP buff and to kill mobs. S+C – to buff addons for down and crit damage. 3. When mobs are on the ground: First option: S+F - LMB - Shift+F - hold F - hold F - S+E - Shift+Q. ( Best option ) Second option: Shift+RMB - Shift+F - hold F - hold F - S+E - Shift+Q. ( High AP only ) Third option: S+F - LMB - Shift+F - hold F - hold F - S+E - Shift+X - hold X - Shift+Q - Shift+LMB. ( For low AP ) I often use Shift+LMB after Shift+Q even if the mobs are already dead, just to absorb damage with FG. 4. Don’t kill all small mobs around you — they will follow you to the next pack. Hold Shift while moving to iframe ranged attacks, and pick up the loot manually. 5. Movement: You can use W+RMB - Shift+W, but it flows well only if Rift Chain is off cooldown. And yes — this is the only movement the class has. 6. I use All-Out-Attack because I didn’t notice any difference compared to Crocodile’s Tooth, and I don’t want to spend extra money on artifacts. Also, All-Out-Attack is better for players with low AP. E and Z buffs: If you have enough AP, E buff is almost useless on this spot — good only for Elite mobs. Use Z buff off cooldown. If you have low AP: use Z buff and when it ends - use E buff with Reset, so you always have +30 AP active. Stars End is a spot where you basically follow loop combo. There isn’t much room for freestyle. Succ Sage loses a bit of performance while moving between crystals, but it’s still not much worse than other top PvE classes, since we are capped by the crystal spawn time anyway. Top prio damage: 1. S+F - LMB ( + DR debuff ) 2. Shift+RMB - S+E Second prio damage: 1. Shift+F - Hold F - Hold F ( + self AP buff ) 2. Shift+Q – after S+E. The skill itself deals 0 damage, but when used after other skills, it cancels their animation and increases your overall damage per second. You only want to use it after S+E instead of the Shift+X rabams every second combo cycle. 3. Shift+X - Hold X ( + DR debuff and the best healing ) Fillers: 1. S+C – low damage, buff crit/back addons 2. Shift+LMB – low damage, self ap rebuff, absorb damage in fg 3. S+LMB – cast speed is so slow that it's usually better not to use this skill at all. Even with Z buff skill is too slow. Movement: class doesn't have movement skills... Healing skills: 1. Shift+X - Hold X – our best healing 2. Shift+Q – good healing if you hit many mobs. Works better with HP recovery addon. It will barely heal you when hitting a single target. 3. W+RMB – Hold RMB – works only if you hit many targets and only with HP recovery addon. Skill has low damage even with 100% crit and it takes too long for full use. 4. Shift+E – 0 damage, very little healing. 100% BSR Ult: This Ult is one of the best in the game. Use it, but on some spots we want to save 100% BSR for elite mobs or a boss. In that case, we can press Alt+B to lock/unlock Black Spirit Rage and use it only when we want to. ( Personally, though, I’m not impressed at all. In my opinion, an Ult should one shot squishy mobs and deal significant damage to Elites/Bosses — at least 20–25% of their HP. But in practice, this Ult will only save you 2–3 seconds on squishy mobs, while the HP bar of Elites and Bosses might move by 5% at best. ) Reset mechanics: 1. Any skill you use reduces the cooldown of Reset by 3 seconds. 2. The 100% BSR skill reduces the cooldown of Reset by 12 seconds. 3. We have 9 skills that reduce the cooldown of Reset by 6 seconds, but some are useful and some are not. Useful: 1. Shift+RMB 2. S+F 3. LMB flow after S+F 4. S+C 5. Shift+Q — only after S+E, and only when you’re sure it will deal back attack or down damage. Useless: 1. Shift+E – 0 damage 2. S+LMB – the skill has some damage, but casting is too slow and AoE is not good. With BSR maybe sometimes, but overall the skill is useless. 3. RMB flow after S+LMB – 0 damage, and we don't use S+LMB anyway. 4. W+C – 0 damage and skill is simply not fast enough, even for repositioning. Other skills: 1. S+RMB – almost never used skill. You can throw it on the ground for AoE DR debuff if you are waiting for mobs. If you throw the skill and iframe with Rift Chain without hitting mobs, they will aggro on the skill for a second.
