Talk:Lava Arrows

Anomalies?

List_of_skill_anomalies#Elementalist: Lava Arrows is not mentioned, should this be removed from the lava arrows notes? --Alex 02:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll remove the Anomalies note if I don't get a reply here within 2 days to clean the article up. --Alex 13:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Update

Now that it's not half range, I can see this working it's way into a lot of fire ele bars as filler. 66.41.46.226 02:12, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

And no longer working on my Deadly Haste failsin.  :( PowerGamer 04:11, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Ice Spear tbh <>96.8.185.183 04:16, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Strapping flare to a cluster missile does not a good skill make. --Jette 06:26, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

hasent this buff made flare even worse then it was since this is same energy same cast n 2 sec recharge for 3 flares?--Aura 16:51, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Ice Spear doesn't hit multiple foes with fire damage that are all hexed with Mark of Rodgort. PowerGamer 21:23, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I'd prefer Triple Flare. -~=Sparky (talk) 04:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Do they hit your target?

According to the description, it makes it sound like 3 arrows fly towards people near your target, and nothing happens to your target. Am i missing something here or is this worded incorrectly? Engerizer 20:20, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

The concise description is the better wording, in this case. It sends 3 arrows, one of which hits your target and two of which can hit other targets (if there are any). If there are no extra targets, the extra arrows are wasted. --Jette 21:19, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

So what you want to do is take Flare and Lava Arrows. Use Flare for single targets and Lava Arrows for groups.--Underwood 04:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

why wouldn't u use lava arrows on single targets instead of flare? same energy same damage

yeah, flare RIP. What use flare spamming had (little) is gone. Sure there is a 2 second CD, but you could cast a variety of other spells, like liquid flame, immolate, and so on during the cooldown. StatMan 05:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Gnnnhh... look here, there's a reason why Flare is one of the first skills you get as an Ele primary... and no, it's not because it's neccessary in order to play an ele... >_< - Ander01 23:01, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

RIP Flare

What were they thinking... I guess flare is not a serious skill. They should tone down the damage on this, and/or increase the damage. Overall, this update is CRAP. The changes to dervs and sins is way OP. StatMan 01:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

"I guess flare is not a serious skill"

What was your first clue? --Jette 03:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

LOL flare a serious skill... if you ever see someone at Fort Aspenwood trying to kill someone with flare you run over there and beat them up... or well, any other place as well for that matter. "Die Shiro!! Pew! Pew!" O_o - Ander01 22:56, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

well i do agree that now flare spammers will be replaced with this. i like the change, but i think they need to change flare somehow if they change this. it's only fair.

Since neither skill is useful in PvE or PvP, I don't see any reason why ANet would do that. In fact, I think the only reason they changed Lava Arrows was to make Afflicted Elementalists even more obnoxious. Vili 点 22:34, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I hate those things. 300 DAMAGE MIND SHOCK PEW PEW PEW --Jette 22:55, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

See, that just goes to prove how deadly they are. They use Mind Burn but it does damage so high you'd think it was Mind Shock. Vili 点 23:05, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

...damnit, they do. Wow. --Jette 23:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

The weird thing would be if they also caused KD with it. Paddymew 18:35, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Note on missing half the time

It's clearly false. Stop putting it back in. Whoever is, is just bad at using projectiles. Have a read of this [1] King Neoterikos 20:43, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Better than fireball

With fireball you're paying twice the cast time, twice the energy, reducing the AoE, and adding an extra 5s of recharge for 38% more damage. Only good thing about fireball is it can hit more than 3 foes, but how often does that happen? Necromas 03:43, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

You're comparing a massive pile of shit to a massive pile of crap. 98.248.90.248 04:24, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
