Hi hi! It's Mist here! I was about to create another video on updated Ice Stacking rotation after Sorc 3rd awakening and some Elestra rework but my rotation is almost the same and there are only a few tweaks. So what are the changes on Elestra? 1. Thorns have a faster CD now so it’s easier to ice stack. 2. Glacial Field ticks reduces the Thorn cd by a little bit. Tweaks: 1. Post-rework, you can now throw your Thorn right after you cast GF and not suffer much on ice stacking. (I highly suggest on not doing it before) Note: a. Raid-wise, I still recommend to wait for the ice from glacial field to be removed before throwing your 1st thorn. This is because raid bosses tend to break ice stack often so you should keep your thorns as much as possible. b. Also, make sure you throw all your thorns before the thorn duration ends since the CD is now shortened so even if you throw ALL of your thorns, you'd still have enough until the next cast of glacial field. Thank you! Best of luck to all participating Elestras on the latest STG contest! ♥
To add, this rotation is only applicable until the Sorceress Awakening. Might have a different rotation that time. Feel free to comment any insights/criticisms regarding the video and the rotation itself! Thank you.
How much does frozen amplify dmg now? I remember before it was 200% max and each stack/freezing skill was 50%. They badly need to rework elestra. Glacial Wave and Blizzard are hella useless in pvp and pve. (Invulnerable status of bliz is the only good thing I can think of.) 😅
Freeze gives additional damage of 30% for Elestra. As a unique debuff, it gives 20% additional damage for others. Imo, Elestra is currently good and is considered a high DPS / debuffer. Glacial wave is indeed useless but storm gives a good chunk of damage, especially with runes. Probably the 2nd best rune after Ice Sphere.
Ice stacking in raids is hard for Elestra seriously coz its easily removed by lot of hits, luckily in 3rd awakening thorns cd reduce to 15sec hopes that helps a lot.
Actually, mist, based on what i experienced playing elestra so far, shatter can 100% freeze rate only if normal ice sphere is cooled down, for example, after using shards from awakened skill glacial field, for sure the normal ice sphere is ready on that moment, and when we use shatter it always freezes, it never fails to freeze unless the ice sphere is cooling down
And yes, we both the same in ice stacking order, thats why shatter is the last while replaying the skills back to ice sphere again, making the shatter 100% freeze rate tho it says 30% only
I mean, its only 100% freeze if the normal ice sphere is cooled down and the opponent is on ice already by thorn or glacial field, it will be only 30% if the opponent is not iced even the normal ice sphere is cooled down.
@@seanobosa7853 Actually, the reason why I put Shatter last (which is before the normal ice sphere) is because of the 30% freeze rate. If it fails, you have the normal ice sphere to use which is almost 100% freeze rate so it'll be fine if ever the Shatter freeze doesn't proc. I haven't thought about that Shatter 100% thing you noticed. I only notice 100% Shatter freeze in STG kek. Outside STG, it's not 100% anymore :(((
Hello, I am planning on switching from Smasher to Elestra to play semi support/dps. Overwhelming as it is but I am really wanting to try. Would you recommend playing elestra for long term? Is it better than playing Smasher? I really could use some helpful advice >.
Hi if you're really interested to playing a semi-support role, then Elestra would be really great. DPS-wise, I'd say Elestra is actually stronger than Smasher. Also, as an Elestra, you'd be prioritized more than other classes because of your ice debuff. She is also tanky and will survive more in raids because of her ice barrier and the elemental shield. So yeah, I'd say go take Elestra hehe

Create new video guide sir
@@gunawannc Hi what specific guide do you need?
As new player in using elestra, i don't really know about how ice stacking works. Your video helps me a lot! Thank you ❤️
Glad to be of help!
Thank you! I just changed from Majesty to Elestra 😫
i never play sorc before since i main machina and warrior. this guide is helping me a lot for my elestra project 😁

Yes indeed! Ice Sphere is the opening of all that *CKRAANGGG* frozen combo! ❤❤❤❤
