bc 99% of Fire Staff users have ice gauntlet, so when you use entomb and you have champions amulet, you actually stack up empower from shirking empower from any hit on your tomb.
so basically you get out of Entomb with 16% empower (10sec) everytime
but people still talking about meteor shower exploit, while the only bug there is, that the duartion refreshes from burn ticks caused by crits from initial meteor shower hits.
like in a medium to large scale fight, when meteor shower has like 9-13 seconds cooldown if you hit some heavy attacks you’d have empower up most of the time anyway, so that’s not even a big deal.
also it makes you only have 2 viable abilities in 1v1 or spread out skirmishes, so that’s a big trade off you have to take to be powerful in large scale fights, where you can the empower stacks going and deal crucual dmg to groups and burst out single targets, which you should be able to do as a mage?
Sometimes I really think people are out of their mind. If fire staff is so broken, why is there not a single fire staff player in wars? Please stop suggesting bs.
I don’t think it’s OP; FS has low weapon dmg but the problem is that everyone wear Shadewalker sets with low elemental resistance then crying here about fire staff dmg
Dude just play another game, for the love of the New World itself.
You ONLY and i say ONLY ask for nerfs. Is there a weapon you like and do not want to see nerfed or you are playing with your naked fists?
58% fireball Dmg on a Staff, ye thats 30% Empowered then if u have Empowered Meteor Shower on ur Weapon ( u maybe wanna take a look at Spear then, check how much Empowered and Fortify they have… lol ) oh and then the Buff disappears, if u swap to second weapon
Grav Wells also do the same thing at the moment, difference is the G.W burst and effectiveness was nerfed and now that fireball perk on the weapon is stronger now and everyone on the server that uses firestaff literally has one at the minimum, every OPR its a flurry of arrows and 15 odd mages throwing ice abilities to slow you and throwing fireballs at you then flame throwing you.
ah, thanks, I was wrong about the numbers I guess. But currently Im pretty sure the empowered meteor shower buff stays, might DEF be wrong since I dont use fire staff often.
This is basically why this game style in general has always failed. Noone has pulled it off. Not GW almost 20 years ago, not Elder Scrolls, and certainly not NW. It’s impossible to balance. PvP in a PvE world
