Double Casting

Language:

[Passive]
Double casting is possible using elemental magic with the new power of Aether. Press the skill key again to activate a chain skill.

Double casting will not activate if either one of the chain skills are Memorized.

Double Casting Skill (Chain Skill):

Requirements

Class	Level Required
Aether Sage	99

By pressing the skill key twice, you can double cast the following skills.

Double casting will not activate if the Chain Skill is currently memorized, nor can you trigger a Chain Skill from a memorized initial skill.
Chain skills used through double casting will not have their cooldowns activated. (e.g. Double casting Gust Storm > Lightning Shower will not activate Lightning Shower's cooldown)
Chain skills can be activated even if you do not have them on your skill bar.
- Locked skills like Lightning Shower must be unlocked in order to be double cast.
Chain skills cannot stack "Upon using Strength Skill, Strength Skill's Damage for 10 seconds +*% (5 Stacks)"'s effect and are not affected by MP Cost stat and traits that alter MP cost like the "Critical" trait.
- "Critical" trait chain skills will still partially ignore defense even though the MP Cost does not increase.
Unlike other Chain Skills which perform skills back to back, Double Casting performs the second skill while the first is still going on, allowing for near-simultaneous casting.
- You can trigger a chain skill as long as the initial skill's animation hasn't allowed you to start moving again.
Chain skills will neither consume the Transcendence buff nor receive the 20% damage increase.
