TimeToGetIntense's Discussion

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. File:Nuclear7 sig image2.jpg nuke7 File:Nuclear7 sig image2.jpg 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 1...4...5 damage. Think of how cool it would be. ~Shard (talk) 03:21, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

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 User NuclearVII signature 3.jpgIIV 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 User NuclearVII signature 3.jpgIIV 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. MithUser MithranArkanere Star.pngTalk 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... 1...8...10 damage... 1 casting time, in the area range... 5...21...25 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. MithUser MithranArkanere Star.pngTalk 14:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
