Why is firestaff the only weapon in the game without CC?

You just Incinerated that man, somebody call the burn unit!

Well the next time you’re in OPR and a warhammer knocks you into a corner and you can’t get out- be sure to remember that 3m knockback is more than enough room to “unstuck” yourself.

Ya bro, he definitely won’t just 1) Have Grit, 2) Stick to you with Homing, or 3) Recover from the HYUGEEEE 3 meter pushback before you finish your lengthy Incinerate Animation.

Incinerate needs to have stagger returned and the silly semantics you are trying to play offers nothing if you were ever arguing in good faith to begin with (obviously not).

Claiming a class is strong because it can abuse a bug… Idk.
Personally, I would never fall so low and abuse/exploit like that so imo fs/ig are not in wars atm.

Its not a bug its a perk lol. Its working as AGS intended… get a grip man

You just ended all these forum trolls’ careers.

Okay but it makes you invincible. :joy: Glad you mentioned it, there is no way for a fire mage, not even for multiple to take down a skilled Healer.

Impossible to stop Life Staff casts with a lack of stuns/staggers.

Of course meme shower perk is bugged. Please inform yourself before going at me. The poster I answered to even said it themself.

Not strange at all.

A weapon that can pump 3 Million damage in an OPR does not need CC on top of the insane damage.

Also you can VERY easily pair your firestaff with either the weapon with the MOST CC in the game (IG), or the weapon with the most Util/Buffs/Debuffs in the game (VG).

You quite literally can do absolutely anything and everything with the Mage class… most damage, most Cc, Most Util, Most survivability…… but ya, buff it more…

0.5 stager you cant call cc

To be fair though, other mmos like WoW is non stop cc’s in pvp. I stopped doing BG’s in WoW awhile back because it got old being nothing but stunned/feared/etc. to where I just die because I can’t do anything.

I think all mmos should add a debuff where if you get cc’ed then you can’t get cc’ed again for x amount of seconds on any cc’s.

this cant be serious lmao the last thing the game needs is more CC. and the firestaff is way too overtuned imo. needs a heavy nerf. its way too easy to use for the dmg it deals.

Good point! So lets get the CC from bow and musket and GA removed pls!

Here is someone who never equipped a fire staff.

Sure. Bow and Musket CC is a joke and most people literally could care less if they have them anymore.

Great Axe literally revolves around CC so it would be tough to remove that from the class and keep it viable.

MAINLY THOUGH, none of these 3 weapons can hit 3 million damage in OPR lmao. Only firestaff can (but it still need a buff?)

Here is a perfect example of a mmo player.

Nerf everything EXEPT the weapons I play.

GA is the most brain dead weapon in this game. You dont need to aim you dont need to have skill you just go were the reds are and spam skills (all AOE… not even a cone or a cleave it’s 360⁰ around the player) and spam left click.

They kill ppl by accident behind them. And you come here and say that FS is a easy to play weapon that does to much dmg?

… oh the irony.

it dose to me all the time, they probably threw a orb which is un see able but will heal them self’s and fortifying them self’s still hurts from moment i raise my rapier if I’m healing if fire on me.

Who hurt you man?(besides GAxes obviously lol)

I never said firestafff was easy to play. I also never said firestaff needs a nerf. You are quite literally making shit up lmao.

This entire thread is calling for a buff to firestaff. I simply pointed out (with facts) that firestaff does not need any buff at all.

To which you responded with a lot of crying and nonsense….

You are correct, im sorry, someone else said it and i misquoted.

But you DID say nerf bow and musker because you dont care just dont touch GA.

That reflects how much you care about balance.
Thats all.

Once again you are mis-understanding. I was more eager to remove the CC from bow/musket because that would only Remove Stagger from 2 abilities on bow and 2 abilities on musket. (I forgot about musket trap ability at first. Not sure how you could remove the CC from that lol).

However if you wanted to Rid the great axe of all its CC, that would mean removing a “Pull” from 3 abilities, removing a root from one ability, and removing stagger an ability. Great axe also has very short range so the weapon relies MUCH more heavily on its CC. Removing all the CC from the weapon would essentially destroy all builds using it, whereas muskets and bows would seem minimal difference without CC.

Fair enough.
Then if it has so much CC, it should have it’s dmg reduced and hit in a 45⁰ cone in front intead of 360⁰ dont you agree?

A weapon with so much CC shouldn’t be able to dish out so much damage.

On second thought you could actually remove all CC. Like you said about FS you can easily par it with a spear, a VG, a IG SnS. And get your CC from there.
