Wow you must really dislike being hit with fire staves.
Does that even help? I run 35% Thrust damage reduction 5x resil and 1x physical aversion and im still getting bamboozling crits from bows
Maybe because people are tired of seeing fire staffs everywhere lately, and they started slotting fire gems. xD
How much is your elemental resistance? People can slot elemental gems to split their damage.
most thrust users slot some form of magic gem, personally i use lightning since most people dont have as much lightning resist.
As a bow man with 100 con, its pain being git for 6k ;D
Not a single fire staff skill does that much dmg stop being delusional
Its just you. Mages are very strong right now. FS is very good weapon.
I’m using FS when I need a break from being melee cannon fodder. I love the FS, perk on weapon for FB, it is crazy damage. Flamethrower is everyone’s worst nightmare, that skill is sooo OP it’s insane!
We’re all using thrust resistance. If you’re not, you’re crazy with the range meta of BB/Bow/Musket
I run 307 Int with FS on medium and have no issues doing a minimum of 2k non-crit fireballs. The increase in the Fireball perk makes it so that I do the same dmg I did pre-patch in light armour. The only reason someone would be doing less than that is due to gems, dust and having a shitty low GS weapon.
When I push it to 350+ it’s GG. The OP is just lying.

just wait until you try 300 dex 200 int musket.
Lol i played fire staff not long ago and it was definitely not doing 1.9k at most 
i saw fireball crits for 4k+ really often. Stop lying
This post was not about Top Damage,
I do not understand, any other weapon with 300 plus in Str or Dex. Does a large amount of damage, but not FS or IG.
Go to a test dummy and Try it out, and compare the damage with all different weapons with a 300 in its main attribute.
So please stop comparing Apples To Oranges. So spare me your BS…
Not a Troll, Stating facts. What did I lie about. Grit? Gravewell? Staggers? Stuns?
So if you have something to complain about, State facts Brother,
FS IG, JUST got Grit, before we had Crap, NO stuns, no staggers, OH wait IG has 2s snare, that with all the PVP perks, is down to 1s, I bet.
Thank you
What I’ve noticed since last patch is that about 1/3 of my FBs don’t register damage, they just go thru and do nothing. Pillar is a good clutch but with the casting time + range + general mobility, you end up hitting only the hard targets that are not affected by the output damage, or at least, not noticeably.
Diff servers, diff experiences I guess.
Its been like that,
Your best bet is aim for the Ground, Direct hits from Fireball, more then half the time does not register.
If this was a melee weapon issue, trust me would of been fixed,
i recently went back to bow because of that and how laggy the game has been lately.
any resources for mage? i might have some stuff squirreled away and id love to give it a shot.
I play it with Rapier, it’s amazing. Fireball perk on weapon is insane, along with Flamethrower it can fight any playstyle.

i’m on light armor, i have 2 pieces of armor with physical aversion and 3 with shirking Fortification and 1 with elemental aversion. I also have some thrust resistance… I don’t have any problem with bows anymore… I can beat them in 2vs1 scenario. I play mage btw. xD
My Fireball also crits most of the time for 3k+ dmg depends the enemy’s resistances.
