Elemental/Crushing Weapon - the hidden feature

To those who didn't know this...
Long story or short story? If you want to read words of some random stranger from another side of the globe, for whom you couldn't care less then read on. Otherwise skip to the bottom of the post to get the info that you worked so hard to get. And by "worked hard" I mean clicking this post. This is something that some of you may have not noticed. The hidden feature of Psijic line spammable. The secret to higher dps, success and happiness in life. Or at least higher dps.
Are you reading this? Are you still reading this? If you do then you either have no respect for your time or are high on anticipation. So let me prolong your suffering by explaining how exactly I found out this feature. I wanted an archer for pvp - a stamina ranged build. But the bow skill line has no spammable. And no! Draining shot is not a spammable! But there is one skill line that has a single ability that most magicka users overlook. The skill that makes your light attacks pack a punch. And guess what? Bow light attacks are ranged!
So I did the quest - the long and boring quest. The quest that is longer and even more boring than my rambling here. And I have unlocked Crushing Weapon skill!
Yes I had it! I had it for my bow... It was horible. No - not the damage. Not the self healing it provided. The animation! I wanted a bow spammable to see my character actually shoot a bow - pull the string and release the arrow like some Robin Hood or certain feminine looking elf. And instead of bow action I got bow rotation! Instead of hardcore pulling I saw gentle bow caress.
But I gave it a try. And bagan the long journey to get Undaunted leveled up. And I kept seeing this bow rotation over and over again. Sometimes without a light attack coming out of my bow. And then I realised...
Animation time of Elemental/Crushing Weapon takes exactly 1 second. 1 SECOND! This means that you can use it to practice your weaving and most importantly the timing of your light attack weaving. Whenever the animation is over do the next LA + Skill. Do it on your skeleton. Do it on your friends skeletons. Do it in pledges and dungeons. And soon you will attain deep understanding of how long one second lasts. And with that power you shall never miss your light attack. It's like a metronome. It will teach you to do your next LA + skill combo, at the right time, exactly when light attack global cooldown finishes. Just look for the moment your bow rotates back. Its a little less obvious for other weapons but still helpfull.

Commancho✭✭✭✭✭So what's your DPS with that? 15k? xD
Wanna skip weaving? Try Easy Sorc by Xynode. You will pull out 30k+ DPS without weaving or having some super complicated rotation - 3 damage dealing abilities and 2 heavy attacks (and two buff abilities once every 15-30s).
What you are describing here has however some usage in PVP especialy when paired with some sets, but I will keep my mouth quiet xD7 -

No, we have just suggested full builds like Easy Sorc, which offers you some easy rotation which includes animation canceling while heavy attacking with lightning staff and using Destructive Clench, so it goes like that:
1)Liquid lightning, light attack, boundless storm, light attack,elemental blockade, weapon swap
2)Heavy attack + Destructive Clench, Heavy attack + Destructive Clench, weapon swap
I have bolded for you animation canceling part. Once you get used to, weaving will be much easier to master as it uses the same method just counter clock - LA + ability 1 > LA + ability. It's not subpar dps, I have said 30k+, but I meant new players and like the others have noticed with a proper gear (vMA staff) and some practice you can easly go 40k+ DPS with the most easy possible rotation and great sustain even at low CPs. That's much better that what OP is suggesting (LA+Crushing weapons spam during dungeons) - both for the people who will PUG with you, but also it will allow you to acomplish most of the content in this game without wasting your life.0 -

Yes. Exactly. Thank both of you. I thought it was obvious that I'm sharing info about a feature that is supposed to help ion training of LA weaving in whatever build you happen to be using. I'm not recommending any build in here, just pointing out how I came to notice this feature.4 -
The_Lex✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I'm finally parsing on a build that is using Ele Weapon as a spammable. It wasn't until recently that I figured out that I could do the normal LA > Skill rotation. The tooltip made me think I had to do it in reverse. I say this because I appreciate the OP's attempt to help people. Not everyone may know how to properly weave this skill.Edited by The_Lex on April 3, 2019 1:15PM1 -

OP was telling how you can train light attack weaving, something that is crucial to doing good dps, the build you're talking about is massively outdated and subpar, heavy attack rotations where Meta before the Dragon Bones patch Feb last year. Today we sustain with synergies and therefore we can use light attack rotations, so what the OP is telling is that there is a skill in the psijic line that is perfect for learning exactly that. I play stamblade about twice a month in pug dungeons and even with a slightly washed up rotation i am pulling 85k+ dps so it's definetly a skill worth to learn.Most OwOrated healer of all time3 -

Lightning staff AoE builds base on heavy attacks and optionaly on animation canceling, but definetly not weaving. Yeah, they are not meta, but they are very easy to master and they will let you to learn mechanics as DD in the veteran content, while animation canceling will let you get used to having a mechanic in your rotation similiar to weaving.2 -

Yes, many rotations use light attack weaving. Crushing weapon or elemental weapon are just spammables. In the case of the OP its merely presented as a way to learn weaving light attacks.
I use Xynode's Easy Sorc and I can weave reasonably well. There doesn't need to be an "or" there.Edited by Agenericname on April 3, 2019 2:56PM1 -

"without wasting your life" omegalul spoken like a true forum warrior
it literally only takes a couple hours of concentrated effort with deliberate practice on weaving to get the timing down, then you're gucci for the rest of the countless hours you'll be playing this game. How many hours of your life have you wasted being below mediocre while trying to convince everyone and yourself that heavy atking is viable? or that 40k dps is impressive or even passable?
just learn weaving, as OP suggested, it's worth it. Read the last paragraph of the original post again, and don't bother playing until you really understand what it means.

✭✭i think the point the OP is making is you cast thjs skill and then a light attack for it to work. This is essentially weaving. Also worth noting, it can’t be animation canceled.
That being said, it still isn’t gonna make you hit even 30k automatically. Neither will Maelstrom Weapons.1 -

✭✭For me it always felt natural to weave Light Attacks. I always start out explaining this to those who ask about improving their DPS. You can even *** it up a few times yet still have a decent parse on enemies in dungeons and such because everything will flow much better if you learn to time your skills to recast them at the right moment and don't trigger a weapon swap bug or sprint in combat as I do on my Templars.0 -
Ahtu✭✭✭✭Bows don't have a single-target spammable but Wardens do. Have you tried Cutting Dive? It's less costly than Crushing Weapon and heals you for more with the Bond with Nature passive.2
