Fire staff needs tuning and rework

ya deff, wouldnt even attempt to sue it without the perk

I guess you’re not good at any of this. I said invasions. And shower is used in wars. Did you not know that flamethrower got a buff. Stop crying and learn the weapon. Another hurt melee who got outplayed by a light armor mage. Same ole, same ole.

This is exactly what i came to say the second i read OPs message. Fire staff barely tickles people with full heavy armour. It absolutely doesn’t need any nerfs, it needs its completely shit abilities reworked or buffed to actually be viable.

You just contradicted yourself so hard by stating that flamethrower got a buff, you can’t buff skills that are already “doing its job perfectly” or has its uses… if it was a good skill to begin with it wouldn’t need buffing and you would see people use it.

I don’t know if you’re aware but I assume you haven’t read my post or understood its purpose mate or you wouldn’t be assuming I’m a melee weapon user. I’m a fire staff user and I don’t think I have many good options on that weapon… the positioning and move speed penalties when using flamethrower and meteor shower, in comparison to the damage output they do, make them very bad to use as they put you in too much risk with no good results at all.

Anyways, before you go assuming things you know nothing about like my skill, weapon I use or knowledge of the game, how about you provide a video of you owning with your flamethrower or your meteor shower? PvP or PvE… show the fire staff users around the world how it is done.

What do you mean tickle people? Fire staff is absolutely destroying people in OPR and wars hence why it got nerfed (sadly). With most of its skills being absolute garbage… light/heavy attacks with landing some PoF and fireballs are currently doing alot in PvP, and if people get hit with incinerate, they absolutely deserve it because they need to gitgud.

I don’t think oneshotting their frontline as a RANGED DPS is an indication of a good design direction, but having impactful skills that make a difference in some way will, it doesn’t have to be one-shotty or that sort, at least give them purpose to be used and some drawbacks.

Anyone in heavy armour hardly feels the damage from Fire staff, you hit them for 700-900 damage. The fire staff is only good against medium and light armour. It absolutely can not 1 shot anyone in PVP in any case at all, its normally a 3 shot at least (if no healers or no potion used).

PoF has been gutted now and probably wont be worth using instead of just auto attacking heavy to reduce fireball CD. Fireball nerf is stupid. Incinerate is pointless and needs it range increased or its casting speed increased. Flamethrower is a meme…

A mage is supposed to be a high DPS but super squishy role, now its just going to be a mediocre DPS and equally if not more squishy.

You summed up my post, Fire staff atm is a left-click simulator with maybe PoF/fireball as potential viable DPS options, the rest is meh.

@Riesling must be doing something wrong, my HA with fire staff does alot of damage…

No it’s not LOL! I literally just watched a war on xayru’s stream against one of the main syndicate companies and they were almost ALL heavy armor greataxe/Warhammer lifestaff/Warhammerand xayru’s team lost easily. What trashcan wars are you playing where people are still standing still using meteor shower :joy:

“everyone”. Maybe those who haven’t caught up to the actual meta?

Yeah maybe in wpvp or outpost rush, not wars. And yeah, ice, not fire. Firestaff alone is garbage. Fire/ice is the meta because ice is so broken on live that it does almost all the work.

Fire/ice meta is not “firestaff meta”, it’s fire/ice meta. The combo is meta, not the individual weapon. It’s like calling Hammer meta then using it with a bow.

I play firestaff/rapier, and as soon as I replace the rapier with an ice gauntlet, my build goes from ok and balanced to broken.

Then pick another weapon, you’re bad at fire staff. Didn’t contradict myself, the flamethrower is working fine now that it got a buff. Pick another weapon, your not good at this one. Have a good day.

no no, you said they’re already working and doing their job perfectly…

Please delete your embarrassing post, by using ad hominem you just make things look worse for your argument.

Wow you are slow. You do know we have a test server. You’re just bad at all of this. Poor guy. You ever notice that other fire staff users don’t complain. They get hit with the same fire spells as everyone else. But yet, they don’t complain and cry about it. Only you!

Where’s the crying? I don’t see any crying, it’s called constructive feedback, you need to learn to differentiate between the two. If you have nothing else to offer but contradiction and trolling, don’t reply.

Its your opinion and your opinion is based on your incompetence with a weapon. No one wants constructive feedback on a mechanic that works on cars that is terrible at working on cars. And I am giving you some constructive feedback. You are just not good at that weapon. Move along.

Shroud said the same thing, if your company has more meeles you just win the war no matter the tactic
So what they do
Buff meele lezgoo xD

Yep

Your attitude is unforgivable. There is no space in forums for people like you, insulting others without the shread of an actual argument.

Also your opinions are laughable at best.

It’s ironic how it’s always the less competent and knowledgeable people, the utterly uskilled, who end up insulting, calling names and questioning other people’s ability base on nothing but their egotistic paranoia.
