Pinkhearts Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hello all. I know that as a force master I should be able to divine veil through the water missile AND then frost sheath (the whole party) through boiling water. I feel silly asking this, but I can't seem to time my frost sheath properly (sometimes I get lucky) in 4 man Blackram. Would you guys happen to have any pointers? I don't know what I am doing wrong. Perhaps, I don't quite understand the ability. As soon as I use the ability, there is a three second window in which we must take damage? Or does the ice block portion of frost sheath only last 3 seconds? Anyways, thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortyWanted Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 if you use your V-ice, and get dmg in this time (3sec) you will get frozen (to release yourself press F or wait 5 sec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoe33 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It procs when you take dmg (you can see this easily in pvp) and you have a 3s window to take dmg, if u do take dmg anytime in that 3s window ull be in a frost prison for 5s (its been changed with recent patch from 3-5). What i do to time it for slashimi is when hes gonna do the boiling att he moves up and down 3 times and the move comes out on the 3rd time (kinda looks like belly flops if i were to describe it) i usually do it when his belly turns glowly red right before he the move comes out on the 4rd "belly flop" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer. Ok here on maybe pple have their own way of doing this, this is jus how i do it >< 6 man = You want your LAST attk to be frost mode. (cant remember if the buttons need to be 'active' aka not disappear. The skill bar disappears after 10sec of non usage) then spam that space >.> 4 man = You want your LAST attk to be frost mode. I keep my #3 open (Dragonwhorl) and use that after the boss gets untargetable. I dont use glacial beam cause that actually needs a target and you cant target the boss when hes doing that skill (and most groups kill off the adds) After skill#3 you got 10 sec before the ZXCV keys disappear, so dont shoot it too early. After that its just the timing. Its the same timing for the 24/6/4 man. Viel when he looks like hes taking that bird bath. > Bounce > SplishSplash sideways birdBath move (below: To answer your main question yes, you need to take dmg within that 3 second window to freeze yourself/party.) 2 seconds later he looks like hes trying to burrow the water. The floats and looks like he has a muscle spasm with his wing tips curled and all You want to aim your sheath right about after hes done burrowing but before he starts floating up <,< timing can be practiced in the 24 man mode when you know you wont kill people lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRayZen Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'd like to ask a question related to the topic, how does a FM block slashimi so that it will flop out of his swimming animation?

I feel noob for admitting this, but I had no idea that my last ability has to be one that keeps/puts me in frost mode/stance. I assumed that the game binds Divine veil and then Frost Sheath to my space bar. But, that is probably just 24 and 6 man, right? I will try this, I never noticed that he burrows after his four water bolts. So, I should time it like such: Four water bolts (divine veil), burrows after water bolts, when he appears to stop burrowing and has wing spasms (lol) I should sheath here. This is correct? Thank you very much for your detailed response, I am so glad to hear others are having a hard time. I want to run 4-man, but I've shied away for fear that I would mess this up. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to notice his moves at first cause its easy to panic. Sheath as he burrows. When hes in the air i think that was the 'too late' zone.

Dlacik Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I find it much easier to time correctly the divine veil. Then I just look at frost stance buff timer and use frost sheath just before frost stance ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teffy Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Easy E to open vail,3 to open for ice V.When the boss rise up after ranged attacks use ice V and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I feel stupid for asking, but I need to know) Your fire stance tab skill can be specced to a parry using 3 points into the third tree, with that spec using tab right as the boss starts to dash around will knock him out of his dash....and looks awesome doing it. xD For the main question when the boss jumps up use e if not in ice stance and then your shield, at this point if you think you may lose your ice status before using frost sheath you can use your ice tab to extend it and recover some focus. Timing frost sheath is actually pretty simple, after the boss spits he slowly rises up while lifting his arms, when his fin...arm...flippers rise to about the length of his head that's when you hit v.
