<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{otheruses 2|skill chaining using Echo|the Mesmer [[elite skill|elite]]|Echo|Paragon skills|Echo (skill type)}}<br /> [[File:Echo chain.jpg|right|frame|Original skillbar]]<br /> [[File:Echo chain.gif|right|frame]]<br /> An [[Echo chain]] is the [[skill]] combination of the two [[Mesmer]] skills [[Echo]] and [[Arcane Echo]] to cast one skill three times consecutively. This method is mostly used for skills of which the recast time is very high but which need to be cast repeatedly in a short time.<br /> <br /> An Echo chain is often used in combination with [[Meteor Shower]] for Echo Nuker builds which need to deal a lot of damage in a short time or for [[Lightbringer rank|Lightbringer point]] farming in the [[Realm of Torment]]. Many [[Ranger]] farm builds use this skill combination for [[Dust Trap]] because of the high damage. Also, it can be used in combination with [[duplicate]] skills to allow for four skills of the same effect.<br /> <br /> There are two methods of doing an Echo chain:<br /> <br /> === Method 1: for [[spell]]s ===<br /> # [[Arcane Echo]]<br /> # ''Spell''<br /> # [[Echo]]<br /> # ''Spell'' (Arcane Echo)<br /> # ''Spell'' (Echo)<br /> <br /> The [[activation time]] for this chain method is 3 seconds + 5x 0.75 seconds aftercast + 3x the spell's cast time and you need 20 [[Energy]] + 3x the spell's energy cost.<br /> <br /> === Method 2: for [[skill]]s ===<br /> # [[Arcane Echo]]<br /> # [[Echo]]<br /> # ''Skill''<br /> # Echo (Arcane Echo)<br /> # ''Skill'' (Echo)<br /> # ''Skill'' ((Arcane Echo) Echo)<br /> <br /> The [[activation time]] for this chain method is 4 seconds + 6x 0.75 seconds aftercast + 3x the skill's cast time and you need 25 [[Energy]] + 3x the skill's energy cost.<br /> <br /> === Notes ===<br /> An alternative for spells (but not skills) exists: The elementalist elite skill [[Glyph of Renewal]]. In case of a spell with a long recharge time the player can choose to either cast the spell every 10 seconds, or to chain it 2 times (and then having to wait for the spell to recharge).<br /> <br /> [[Category:Unofficial terms]]<br /> [[Category:Mesmer builds]]</div>
