Autospells
An Autospell (AS) is a skill that is cast automatically by a trigger event. Most Autospells appear as skills under your JOB tab.
All Autospells have the following properties:
- SP cost -50%
- Damage -50%
The remaining behavior of an Autospell depends on its Autospell Mode and Trigger Type.
-- Autospell Modes --
AS Mode determines how the Autospell is cast and what delays it uses.
[Standard Autospell (AS)]
- If an Autospell does not specify a mode, it is a Standard Autospell.
- Casts after the triggering action's attack motion finishes.
- The triggered skill plays its own attack motion delay.
- Trigger Event Cap: 1
[Instant Autospell (IAS)]
- Casts immediately, ignoring the attack motion of the triggering action.
- The triggered skill has no motion delay.
- Trigger Event Cap: 3
[Proxy Cast (PC)]
- Casts from a remote source, such as another skill or a summon.
- Uses Instant Autospell timing when the source is a skill.
- Uses Standard Autospell timing when the source is a summon.
- Does not count against the Trigger Event Cap.
-- Trigger Types --
Trigger Type determines the condition required for an Autospell to cast.
[Trigger Rate (TR)]
- Casts based on a percentage chance.
- Often has an associated cooldown.
- Ex: Cold Bolt autospells Fire Bolt Lv3 +35% (CD: 3s).
[Trigger Count (TC)]
- Casts when its Trigger Count reaches 0.
- Trigger Count is reduced by fulfilling the trigger condition.
- You can track the current TC value by hotkeying the Autospell.
- Ex: Cold Bolt autospells Fire Bolt Lv3 +35% (TC: 3).
-- Stacking --
- Autospells with different Trigger Types are treated as separate bonuses. They do not stack additively with each other.
- Within the same Trigger Type, Autospells stack only if they are the same skill and level. Otherwise, they are treated as separate bonuses.
[Stacking TR Autospells]
- Trigger Rate bonuses stack multiplicately.
- Example:
- Fire Bolt Lv3 +35%
- Fire Bolt Lv3 +35%
- Fire Bolt Lv5 +15%
- Final result:
- Fire Bolt Lv3 +47%, Fire Bolt Lv5 +15%
[Stacking TC Autospells]
- Trigger Count bonuses stack by reducing the required TC value by 20% for each additional matching Autospell.
- Example:
- Fire Bolt Lv3 TC 15
- Fire Bolt Lv3 TC 15
- Fire Bolt Lv5 TC 20
- Final result:
- Fire Bolt Lv3 TC 12, Fire Bolt Lv5 TC 20
-- Advanced --
[Trigger Event Cap (TEC)]
- The Trigger Event Cap (TEC) determines how many Autospells can trigger from the same event.
- Default TEC values:
- Standard Autospells: 1
- Instant Autospells: 3
- Proxy Casts: Ignore TEC
[Trigger Order]
If more Autospells trigger than your TEC allows, the following rules apply:
- Trigger Count (TC) Autospells are chosen before Trigger Rate (TR) Autospells.
- When multiple Autospells of the same Trigger Type are triggered at the same time:
- For TC Autospells, the one with the higher TC requirement is chosen.
- For TR Autospells, the one with the lower TR value is chosen.
[Recursion Depth]
- Recursion Depth determines how many times Autospells can chain into other Autospells.
- Recursion Depth is 2 by default.
- This means your first Autospell trigger, depth 1, can trigger one additional Autospell, depth 2. After that, no more Autospells can trigger from that chain.
