Elem 1v1 Skill Animation and Cast time

[chilly night]

Its weird that Mage skills deal better DPS than Elementor 1v1 Skills

Why? Elementor's 1v1 Skill animation isnt affected by DCT, even with max DCT Elementor skills (Including AoE spells) does some weird posings before casting the spell

would be nice if this gets Fixed, the buffed int scaling for the 1v1 spells was unnecessary.

I think they arent able to fix the skill animation issues of Elementors that's why they just went for a bandaid fix (that didn't fix anything) like increasing the INT scaling

Same with Psykeeper's Spirit Bomb, They should have just increased the animation speed instead of buffing the multiplier.

there is 0 way mage skills are stronger then elementor skills, I think u need to run back how the math maths, and how max dct isn’t affected by animation at all

Increasing the int scaling on spells was a much needed addition to elementor because of how the class works, and it’s values were straight up garbage. Elementors are better now damage wise and is still a want in dungeon runs aside from being an aoe powerhouse. And the coming jewels that’s are currently on FWC are going to make elementors ALOT stronger in the 1v1 dept.(please don’t touch spellweaver stats gala )

Real elementors can only pray they add more element mastery stat to future gear to bump them closer to psykeeper damage considering they have the same utility and damage mitigation

Water Welll still doing more DPS than Ice Shark after the increased int scaling due to animation issues.

water well dont have projectile motion. maybe all magical skill remove projectile motion and deal instant damage. flyff is buggy specially when player run so fast or jumping too high. two ways for that.

1st: remove the projectile motion of skill
2nd: fixed the bug for projectile motion of skill not dealing damage when player run too fast or jump too high

Water Well got better DPS because of Animation issues, Ice Shark takes time to cast even on 200% DCT because of those weird posing it does before doing the actual cast

All Elementor skill is Clunky af even at max DCT, especially Ice Shark with its slow animation and cast..
damage and projectile speed is fine though.

After doing testing with an ele @ 195 DCT, and 180 DCT.
Waterwell is roughly 10% better than iceshark at 195 DCT
and 5% better than iceshark at 180 DCT.

Other element 1v1 skills performs roughly the same with mage skill at 195 DCT DPS wise. However mage skill is superior due to only about 2/3 of MP usage.

Generally if animation can't be fixed, I don't see increasing elementor 1v1 skill by 20% would break the class balance in any form (as they r the worst 1v1 dps already)

maybe something like making meteor for example deal 50% increased damage if it only hits a single target could also help and would just feel really cool too.
