FS can only pair with IG to be viable IMO, so I am going to focus on this.
FS/IG is a hybrid build in a way.
- Fair damage at range, can hold its own (not as good as dext of course).
- Good damage at medium/short range thanks to FT/FB.
- CC thanks to the IG, mostly in term of shower (which is the most in demand skill for IG)
- Survivability thanks to burn out / IG entomb and shower
Spike/Pylon (depending which route you go) is what brings the IG to a higher level (as opposed to being purely a supporting cast like for BB/IG) thanks to the 360 INT.
There is space for this build, but it has to be for a specific composition and what not.
If you can make the most of your 360INT IG, there is absolutely value there.
Mages CAN excel at 1v1s and when players are either AFK or fighting someone else.
FS Blunderbuss says hello
IMO FS/BB is more of an OPR fun type of build. I feel BB/IG flows a bit better and has nice burst with 200 165 150 + you get all the goodies from IG.
If you refer to pylon bug where you can exploid runeglass dot procing on every pylon hit on firestaff, i know it 
I ref to people not knowing what ruby or elemental res is then calling Fire staff strong and coping about FT on the forums.
I dont think Flamethrower is op at all. It good for killing inexperienced players, when they dont know how to handle the pressure and its good when combined with another persons cc like we see in arenas. I just dont like it from a gamesdesign perspective. I think its lazy and not engaging to use. People complain about the damage of flamethrower but dont even slot one ruby for defence, while dex weapons still hit like a truck when you slot less than 40% Thrust protection.
Asking people to use ruby just dosnt make sense. Thrust protection helps against musket, bow, spear, rapier, and even certain S+S attacks. A ruby legit protects you against only the fire staff. Itâs not so simple as just sLoT RubiES brO

Flamethrower needs to go on cd after a cc or a dodge. Thats all. This spell is the only reason firestaff is broken. Fix it ags but im sure you will lol

It also protects you from the BB. Not to mention most of muskets damage is elemental and a lot of people started going for fire damage split and/or flame attun because of what you said.
Also all it takes is one ruby, not rubies, one is enough for you to laugh at FS. It makes much bigger difference than 2 or even 3 emeralds.
exactly
This is like saying âOh they have three bows, now I will put thrust resistanceâ kekw
Itâs the same with muskets; bad players will always blame their opponents for their own shortcomings
Well if you play Arena a lot and it is a possibility to encounter various builds on your server then why shouldnât you have more than 1 gearset to counter specific builds? Especially if you can afford it.
Bud I am sorry bug your argument is dumb af.
You speaking like we can change loadout every match.
Even having few sets of two perker gear is expensive.
Greatswords, firestaffs, spears all different type of damage. Telling people to counter a specific build by gems is a bit delusional.
Very true
Youâre exaggerating what I say and I am not entirely sure you know what delusional means.
Currently most people slot slash and thrust resistance. So they are all delusional because they do it instead of just following your logic which seems to be opal/onyx?
I am saying if someone can afford a set to counter other builds why not have it? To hoard gold?
The idea behind my initial argument was to counter a point about FS being too strong, because it ainât. Especially if no one specs against it unlike other weapons.
Feel free to cope and exaggerate more of what I say tho. I am not gonna stop you, but will not reply anymore either. Iâve made my case here.
This whole topic has nothing to do with gems. Thats my point.
Its like saying that firestaff not used in wars because too many fire ressistance kekw.
