Diamond Aspis Skillchain Testing

I am noticing w/ diamond aspis every step after the second in a skillchain adds an additional 1 second to the skillchain window starting at 2+ seconds to close step 3 and about 5 extra seconds to close step 6. effect only activates after closing first skillchain (step 2).

THIS SHIELD MAKES SOLO 6 STEP ON BST TRIVIAL.

QUite possibly the mechanic is close a step 2, get 2 extra seconds for step 3, close step 5, get extra 5 seconds to close step 6, etc.

Err...

So normally it works like:
3-10 seconds after WS1, you do WS2 to make a skillchain
3-9 seconds after WS2, you do WS3 to make a skillchain
3-8 seconds after WS3...
3-7
3-6
3-5

So you are saying that it is just always 3-10 with Diamond Aspis? Or does it go longer than 10?

I think it's all 3-10 with aspis.

None go beyond 10.

What Master/pet combination of skillchains were you doing?

I was testing w/ Aymur AM3 & Zhivago

swooping > primal > cloudsplitter > ruinator > primal > cloudsplitter

Only needed pet to open, and the rest was handled easily with haste 2 and marches. no other buffs beyond that.

Makes doing sword 4 step and more on WAR and RDM easier too then

Could you try and do that in reverse where you close the 1st sc and pet does the rest? Be curious if the aspis user only needs to do it once and the effect carries. But im assuming the aspis user needs to keep closing

...So you have a RDM *and* BRD buffing you? I guess not having a COR is somewhat noteworthy... :/

It means no samurai roll which is often the default for enabling self skillchains in groups.
