Wacky idea time: Reduce cost to 5 energy, area to in the area, recharge to 2 seconds, lower damage done to 0...3. Zuahahhaha......That being said, there is no idea I can concieve that this shouldn't be buffed to nearby.  nuke7    20:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I was thinking about adding nearby to my suggestion, but I think it might be enough with the recharge and cast times lowered. --TimeToGetIntense 20:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It would be totally awesome if izzy made this 1e,1s,0r, and did like damage.  Think of how cool it would be. ~Shard (talk) 03:21, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Random Fire Ele: I'm moving to the corpse of Wtf Is Kiting.
 * Wtf Is Kiting: I have taken damage from 57 Fire Storms.
 * Hyperbole, much? it'd take you 57 seconds to cast that many firestorms. But damage needs to be rly low to keep it okay for HA. -- NUKLEAR  [[Image:User NuclearVII signature 3.jpg|19x19px]] IIV  09:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

This skill is fine as is. It is acquired from pre searing and a buff from this skill would also mean a lot of the other pre searing skills deserve buffs. Blood Renewal, Power shot, Imaginitive Burden, ether feast, and etc.William Wallace 08:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Uhm... NO. William, that is false logic. We don't care about pre sear when we discuss to buff worthless skills. Fire storm is worthless. It needs a buff. What does that has to do with presear?


 * By your logic, we should buff all presear skill cause warriors get executioners and frenzy in pre. It doesn't work that way. Firestorm sucks. -- NUKLEAR  [[Image:User NuclearVII signature 3.jpg|19x19px]] IIV  09:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah as well as the other pre searing skills, your point?? Fire Elementalist already have enough powerful nuking skills already and do not need anymore.William Wallace 08:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

It's 'storm' afterall, not 'shower'. A storm covers more. Even reducing the damage would compensate increasing the range. MithTalk 19:27, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This skill is trash and needs a buff.

Change recharge to 60 seconds, decrease damage to 1...10 (at 15 Fire Magic) and change duration to 30 seconds. It would become less a damage dealing skill and more of an area control skill. Erasculio 13:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Or simply change the range to in the area and the duration to 5 seconds. 145.94.74.23 20:52, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This with a large area but less damage would become quite a good pressure skill, although it would put less emphasis on kiting (since kiting will have less effect due to having to kite further). However, I do feel that this should be a bit more hard-hitting than it is now (as mentioned above it's called "Fire Storm". That conjures up images of an apocalyptic rain of fire, not a "Shower of Quite Hot Ashes", which is what it seems to be at the moment).


 * Hm... damage... 1 casting time, in the area range...  seconds duration, 45 seconds recharge and target self (PBAoE). That would turn the spell into a 'don't enter here' spell, nice to control melee mobs in PvE, and to add pressure in PvP. Mith[[Image:User MithranArkanere Star.png]]Talk 14:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
