Hermetic Harmony

Description

The foundation of all Alchemic Sharpshooter skills is the ability to infuse arrows with pure elemental energy drawn from alchemical crystals. The primary element determines the nature of the skill itself, while the secondary element adds an additonal effect. Depending on the combination of elements chosen, one of six different reactions will be catalyzed. Proficiency in this skill is influenced by both Alchemic Sharpshooter proficiency and Alchemy Mastery of each element used. Secondary elements can be added after selecting a skill by pressing the key corresponding to that element (1, 2, 3, or 4.)

Details

The element marble when applying elements to arrows, showing the previously pressed key.

• Allows the player to combine the elements of the Alchemic Sharpshooter skills by adding a secondary element to the unleashed arrows.
• After loading a skill, the secondary element is then chosen with the 1, 2, 3 or 4 keys.
  • The combo chosen will be saved and applied each time you load the skill.
    • For instance, when you prepare Ignis Plume, pressing the 2 key, will unleash a Fire + Water arrow, and when you next use Ignis Plume, Water will be already loaded by default.
  • Only the last key pressed will be taken in account when remembering combos.
  • The player can set the secondary element out of combat by loading the respective skill, choosing the desired element and cancelling the skill.
  • Saved combos are lost when the player logs out or changes channels.
• The Element preset is separate for each individual Alchemic Sharpshooter skill.
• The user's Water Alchemy, Fire Alchemy, Wind Alchemy, and Earth Alchemy Mastery will apply their efficiency value to their corresponding combinations as an additional multiplier.
  • Effects that strengthen the four elemental alchemy masteries include the alchemy efficiency reforges present on footwear and Black Echostone, as well as the set effects present on Harmonious Yantras.
• If the user is a Link 10 Alchemic Sharpshooter, the following effects are increased (all values are multiplicative to the base values of the skill):
  • Vapor Burn, Phosphorus, and Spark Damage +10%
  • Dustcloud and Flash Freeze Duration +20%
  • Caustic Surge Damage Reduction +20%
