Perpetuance appears to increase the duration of the next enhancing white magic spell by 50%

Perpetuance seems to have different behaviour with spells

With RR and most of static buffs > time + 100%
With sneak & invis it seems that's more since i tried this in abyssea altep and my SN/I wore off after 15-16 mins (mostly 15 ... timer stops when triggering a Veridical conflux)

It's truly an awesome Stratagem

Extra : It seems that Perp is spread when combo'ed with accession among every targets ( even with adloquium)

Correct. Either Alacrity would need to be used or it would not be possible at all.

The initial testing (Blizzard => Water) had Immanence + Alacrity up for the 2nd spell, but I get the feeling you could get away with not using a charge of Alacrity.

One could ultimately SC with themselves and MB, but whether or not the MB is practical with the higher tier spells remain to be seen (it should be easy to do with Helices, though).



They did change Sneak and Invisible's max duration and duration variance this last patch, did they not?

I played around with Immanence a little in Abyssea just now. The stratagem works with all elemental nukes and helices. I was able to do Luminohelix > Stone > Distortion, Stone > (alacrity) Aero V > Detonation, etc. It seems to work with all tiers of nukes and each spell rests in the appropriate elemental category on the renkei chart.

I was able to MB Blizzard III off of my own chain without Alacrity. I doubt Tier V or Tier IV would squeeze into an MB without Alacrity. It would be close on Tier IV though. There is a little pause between the end of the spell animation and the beginning of the SC animation, so if you were to start casting immediately, you *might* be able to squeeze in a Tier IV. This assumes you are /RDM of course.

It remains to be seen whether this is worth the 3 charges or if you would just be better of using Ebullience. (I'm assuming we're in Abyssea and MP is not a concern) If you are in a party and are just closing a chain, it becomes more attractive. Assuming no SC resist, you would be adding 50% damage to your spell and could then follow it up with MB damage as well.

Personally, I'm more excited about the extra charge and the 48 second recast ^^

Did you not need Alacrity for the bliz IV?

Yeah this is why many use blinkmenot which is broken switching gears causes that and I just have to ask the se programmers really guys wtf lol.

Time to write some macros seems this maybe the sexiest new addition to our arsenal from this update.....

I wonder if using our Af and the new magian staves would cut out need for alacrity. DA + /rdm + af/relic + magian staff+2 = 47% fastcast. That might allow us to do even more w/o alacrity.

If you are MB'ing Tier 3 spell then you do not need Alacrity. I did not try bursting with a Tier IV or V without it though.

RDM sub???

Not amazing, but quite nifty: I was able to break the club of trials in 2 hours solo by repeating solo fusion 100 times tonight. It'll also be helpful if you've got friends who need to break weapons if you don't have an appropriate melee job.

The quick magic effect from that atma is like having chainspell effect for a single cast (which happens randomly), which actually hinders your ability to use immanence effectively.
