i just think it has high damage casue its hard to actualyl land, bu the damage isnt noticable enough on Eden at least there is some super tanky dudes and they jsut get msively healed, so a 2k pilalr jsut doesnt stand out, like 4k ice glove ligth attacks, or hammers 2 shotting people.
u could be precisely right tho, maybe in some situations its better tehn i thought. im gonna test it and see how i doe with it
Even if you took all flamethrowerâs passives, it wouldnât help the fact that this skill is the worst damage dealing skill from many angles. The skill puts you in a very bad position and does literally lower damage than any other thing you could do, hell, if you keep light attacking youâd do 10 times better than using that stupid skill.
Next time you got to war, or run solo PvE, grab flamethrower and lmk how it goes for you.
well i ngroup pvp, its applying dmg and burn to everyone , if HoT didnt tick for so much ,i could see meteor and flamethrower being beneficial for blob style pvp, but HoT and Health regen food out heal metoer and flamethrower dmg
the refreshing pillar of fire perk is a MUST for this skill to function properly (and landing it of course)
ya deff, wouldnt even attempt to sue it without the perk
I guess youâre 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 doesnât 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 canât buff skills that are already âdoing its job perfectlyâ or has its uses⌠if it was a good skill to begin with it wouldnât need buffing and you would see people use it.
I donât know if youâre aware but I assume you havenât read my post or understood its purpose mate or you wouldnât be assuming Iâm a melee weapon user. Iâm a fire staff user and I donât 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 donât 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 doesnât 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 memeâŚ
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.
No itâs not LOL! I literally just watched a war on xayruâs stream against one of the main syndicate companies and they were almost ALL heavy armor greataxe/Warhammer lifestaff/Warhammerand xayruâs team lost easily. What trashcan wars are you playing where people are still standing still using meteor shower 
âeveryoneâ. Maybe those who havenât 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 âfirestaff metaâ, itâs fire/ice meta. The combo is meta, not the individual weapon. Itâs 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, youâre bad at fire staff. Didnât 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 theyâre already working and doing their job perfectlyâŚ
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. Youâre just bad at all of this. Poor guy. You ever notice that other fire staff users donât complain. They get hit with the same fire spells as everyone else. But yet, they donât complain and cry about it. Only you!
