Game Design Delay Chaos Explosion

I'm still a new arcanist user but my experience when using Chaos Explosion is that the spell were casted too fast. I unable to aim properly or hit a moving target due to the spell being casted too fast
I know the archetype is for spellspam but I suggest it's better to put 1-2 secs of delay for each cast so that we can control the situation/fight much more easily.

 

taking the chaos out of chaos explosion?

 

Unfortunately that hard-to-control burst aspect of chaos explosion kinda puts the “Arcanist” in Arcanist, and is probably unlikely to be changed due to fitting with Arcanist’s “chaotic infinite spell-spam” theme xD

One thing I can tell you though is to think of chaos explosion like a shotgun burst instead of a continuous stream of damage, because of its very fast cast time between the spells.

You outta time those bursts to get the most out of it:

For example, casting chaos explosion after a mob is finished doing its spell combo will ensure that the mob will stay relatively trackable for a short while, allowing all your spells from chaos explosion to hit, but casting chaos explosion before or in the middle of a mob’s spell combo can increase the chance of some of your chaos explosion spells to whiff.

The above takes into consideration that most troublesome mobs often “force” more dexterity and mobility when casting spells, as if a mob is casting a damage spell, it would be best for you to dodge causing you to move erratically, throwing off your aim, and if the mob is casting a mobility spell, the mob will move erratically, also throwing off your aim.

So all in all, timing is key. If you master that, I assure you that your chaos explosions will hit with full force!

 

Welp. I guess it was all just skill issue :P

 

Nah fam, Arcanist is generally hard to play af, don’t downplay yourself on that bro

 

The whole point of the ability is it casts the spells faster than what you're able to input normally.
