I read here yesterday that it s possible to make a 4 hits combo using essential sutra... i tried to do it the whole day but the best i was able to do was a 3 hit sutra combo SS - DP - SR plus a GS but not in sutra... is there anyway to do it in order to cast the spells faster on Sutra? or which spells should i cast? Thks in advance for your help.
Regards.
Alex.

    you have to look at the skill's cast times. sutra only lasts 6 sec from the cast, minus 1-2 sec for user delay or lag so roughly you have 4 sec worth of cast times w/ no channeling times.

    you can try to spam 4-5 skills that have 1 sec or lower cast time. try:
    Pyrogram > divine pyrogram > gush > pitfall or will of the phoenix or crown of flame
    0.8 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0

    THks Fuzz i will try that one, the only problem is that it will make less damage than the 3 skills sutra plush gush i posted above... i`m trying to do more hits in order to make more damage too...
    I will try the Pyro>DP>Gush>WoP + another Gush out of Sutra (since it takes only 1 sec to cast) and see for how much it hits...
    If anyone has a good combo that makes a lot of damage pls feel free to post it here. THks.

    Another 4 hit sutra combo would be..

    divine pyro > pyro > gush > either sandstorm or glacial snare.

    Works for me most times o.o

    For PvP one of the most devasting combos is DPyro -> Pyro -> Will of The Phoenix (Or Crown of Flames if the target is at range) -> DPyro in combination with the genie skill spark.. It hurts, believe me. b:pleased

    Really? I always just cast Sandstorm -> Divine Pyro -> Stone Rain -> Glacial Snare, and always get off the four without a problem. I don't have Sutra hotkeyed, but I do have the 4 nukes on hotkeys, so I just click it on the sidebar and blast away.

    Also, Pitfall > Crown of Flame; it does more damage at lv 10 than Crown of Flame does, and has a microscopic chance to freeze the target XP

    You may pick two.

    Why do you think I use CoF? Because it is a fire skil and genie spark reduces fire resistance. If I just wanted a spell with quick cast time, I would have taken gush...l

    your last hit should be an ulti... since the last hit's cast time is a non factor.

    if you have 399 chi, use DP-> Pyro->Gush -> Ulti or something similar

    Usually, if I sutra I am aiming for a kill. And if a sutra combo with genie spark lands without my opponent domaining or TE or anything, that person should be dead. So why waste another 2 sparks? Seems like overkill.

    pretty much this.. sutra ulti is an effective strategy in some circumstances, but in most cases it is a waste to use 4 sparks on a single target at the same time. I like to draw out a defense skill (such as domain) in my sutra combos.. and undine -> sutra -> genie spark + d.pyro (same time) -> pyro -> wotp -> d.pyro -> pyro almost always gets the job done. Often times I'd have to add in a fortify or something to complete the combo, but without a defensive skill.. unless someone WAY outgears me.. they're going to drop. It really makes no sense to waste another 2 sparks if it'll be ineffective due to a defensive skill or not needed because you can get the job done with smaller skills. Just my 2 cents

    psh yeah you do. when you go in the enemy's base and see a lot of ppl grouped together.

    1) run in range.
    2) use sutra.
    3) pyro
    4) tab
    5) gush
    6) tab
    7) dpyro
    8) tab
    9) pyro
    10) repeatedly spam crown of flames when sutra runs out
    11) when you start getting targeted, feign death.
    12) rinse/repeat

    I noticed that too. Furthermore if I get too reliant on macros in pvp, then I always fall into the trap of hitting a macro that requires sparkes, when I don't have the sparks. Wasted time.

    Question: does Faith break negative status affects too, or just block? I assume it's just a block from the description, but sometimes the descriptions are inaccurate.

    i would not waste 160 energy on just an immune. It does purify all debuffs and makes you immune to all debuffs for 5 seconds after the purify. That is why it's so valuable against sins.

    + it's the only purify you get from soulburn (other than dying). unless you're a seeker.

    quid pro quo transfers it. I was actually thinking of leveling a sin to like 8x and taking off all its gear and leave it in stealth while white name.. leveling up a seeker and provoking a white name veno/psy or something to dot me (or soulburn) and transfer it to my sin in stealth. If it kills the sin, it registers as the original person to use the debuff as killing, so it would make the veno/psy go red name.. and then I'd proceed to farm them for gear :D If only I could lvl a sin/seeker D:

    If the only criteria for my idea to work is that my targets are noobs, I think I need to get on this idea..

    Besides, if I just harass some psy/veno on a red name seeker, most white names wouldn't think twice about fighting back.. but the second that bleed/soulburn/dot w/e goes off, I can throw it on the sin for a surprise red name. Iunno, was just an idea :D
