BDO - Sage Succession - Sangoon C10 -
In this video, I want to share my Succession Sage time for Sangoon - C10. This video was recorded on Sunday, so you can see all top Sage times for the week - 2:16.
2:38 - reforge stones, lighstones, addons.
I had a few attempts to beat my previous time. I tried my best, but I never had a goal to rush for a world record. I do shrine bosses for money, and its better to kill the boss one time but longer, than spend 15+ minutes chasing a pointless record. That’s what I would recommend to everyone. Even if you’re rank 1, it doesn’t increase your income.
I rate Succession Sage as 9/10 for shrine bosses, but I feel like the class can be 10/10. I’m sure people can easily beat my time. Shrine bosses have 50% AP cap after 1000 AP. This means that +2 AP = +1 effective AP against the boss. So the more AP you stack, the faster you kill.
If you’re just starting shrine bosses with Succession Sage, skills like S+F and Shift+RMB can feel unusual at first. But once you understand the boss attacks, you shouldn’t have problems. The most important thing is mechanics - knowing what the boss will do and at what HP%. If you know the mechanics, even with low AP you can kill the boss very fast.
Why Succession Sage is good:
• pve iframe shift movement – while you have stamina, you will not die.
• double E buff
• good damage on solo target
The only downside is casting speed, which is why I rate the class 9/10. Some skills feel too slow.
This is what I learned from my own experience:
If the boss disappears and you see the message: “If you want to leave this place, you’ll have to die to do so!” - he will summon tigers from the edge of the arena. Go behind Sangoon, or go to the south side of the arena - it’s always safe there - 0:45.
If the boss disappears and you don’t see the message, then he will land in the middle of the arena. Just stay in a safe place ( i skipped this, but at 1:01 i am exactly on the safe place, you can see a small pit on the ground).
If you have less than 50% HP during the fight, small tigers will jump on you. Use Shift+X, then hold X to quickly recover your HP above 50%, or collect healing orbs around the arena. Use Rift Chain - you won’t die as long as you have stamina.
• Around 85–90% HP, the boss may almost lay on the ground for a second. Many skills can CC him at this moment. I usually press F to stun him for a few seconds. This is free damage and can help you skip some mechanics (though I don’t always get this).
• 80% HP – boss disappears and lands in the middle. It’s better to skip this and go straight into circle mechanics.
• 75% HP – summons tigers from the sides. Better to skip and go into circle mechanics. - 0:42.
• 60% HP – circle mechanics, rift chain 3 circles. After the 3rd circle, wait ~0.5 seconds and use Rift Chain to avoid the boss landing. ( message: “How pathetic. You`ll soon be torn apart by my teeth” ) - 1:02.
• 50% HP – tigers that jump on you. Just rift chain and wait. ( message: “I am the ruler of the Tiger Palace of Taebaek, Sangoon!”.) - 1:25.
• 40% HP – important mechanic skip. Lower his HP just before the deer icon. He will start a long jumping animation - this is free back damage - 1:39.
• 35% HP – you must stay in the center of the arena. Leaving the area will kill you. Kill 3 waves of mobs and avoid the yellow lines. Be ready for the boss to land after the third wave.
• 25% HP – circles mechanics again.
• 5% HP – boss disappears and lands again. You can skip this even with 350 AP. Don’t rush the damage, force the boss to attack you at around 7% HP, then burst from the back.
Usually I use E buff:
• after first circles.
• second E buff at 40% HP if I get the skip; if not, then after the second circle mechanics.
Z buff is usually available near the end. It lasts 1 minute, so use it when you’re sure you’ll finish the boss within that time.
Top prio damage:
1. S+F - LMB (also DR debuff)
2. Shift+RMB - S+E
Second prio damage:
1. Shift+F - Hold F - Hold F (also self AP buff)
Third prio damage:
1. Shift+X - Hold X (also DR debuff and the best healing)
Fillers:
1. Shift+LMB – self ap rebuff, low damage with animation that you cant cancel, but decent with E buff.
2. W+RMB - maybe, sometimes for reposition and it has good flow into: Shift+F, Shift+LMB, F.
3. S+C – rebuff crit damage addon, damage is low, i dont really use this skill on bosses.
4. S+LMB – cast speed is so slow that it's usually better not to use this skill at all. But skill has not bad damage.
Healing skills on bosses:
1. Shift+X - Hold X – our best healing
2. Shift+E – 0 damage, very little healing
