Magic Crash at zakum

So I'm gonna try to solo zakum later tomorrow, I have about a 23.5k range i believe. I have maxed ACA, IS, Combat, and i think level 5 stance?

I've looked up the range to solo him and I'm sure I can now. But people mention you need good timing on magic crash. I always mess up on the timing and don't know when to crash. When are you suppose to magic crash him to prevent Zakum from casting wep cancel?

If you want to time, crash right after magic cancel is over, like as soon as it's gone (or at least after a few flashes). This prevents him from casting wep. cancel.
By the way, monsters now have a resistance to mc lasting 1minute after it's gone, so don't cast it right away...

@alex168: yeah but zak chains weapon cancel right after magic cancel at a random time, so shouldnt you crash a few seconds after magic cancel?

you need to learn how magic cancel and weapon cancel look

use crash before zakum cancels either
use crash after magic cancel wears off and before weapon cancel begins

always use crash when you start one of the three bodies if it's not on cooldown

zakum can use weapon/magic cancel once every 30 seconds I think

Without high leveled stance, attacking the top right arm is going to be a pain in the back.
However, as soon as you kill all the arms, hit the first body once and use magic crash.
It usually would block out his first cancel attack and would result in him casting magic attack afterwards.
Then just cast crash again in about 45-60 sec after he casts cancel magic attack and that should cover the cd for crash + cancel his weapon attack cancel.

i did it in 11 minutes and 45 seconds with a 33.4k range, maxed IS and ACA and AFA with like 3 cancles

woops didnt read.
right after he magic cancles, wait 5~10 seconds and crash. usually works. the animation for magic cancle is when the tomb thingy goes up and back down and then theres like 2 weapon thingies

[quote=PoetryIsMeh]^What he said, honestly dont worry to much about timing your crashes, what i do is just kill off all the arms, wait maybe 10 seconds and then crash, and crash during
mag cancel/no cancel. IMO a bigger concern is you trying to down the top right arm with only lvl 5 stance, im guessing that would be a pain seeing as you have to be super close to it.[/quote]

Hmm, you guys got a point. I'll try what you guys said. And yes that arm in the right is a pain </3 but im gonna give it a shot haha

[quote=MarioMonz]Even if you screw up magic crash, it doesn't mean you will fail zak =O What I normally do is crash right after killing the last arm and using panic on zak. I just crash and do as much as I can until my cool down wears off. Then i crash again~ It works out (:[/quote]

I advise doing this, then waiting til cd is over, and then wait 7seconds before crashing again.
Sometimes it resists even though it has been a minute, but it works out in the end.
