Fire Extinguisher worth it on bosses?

[paincanbefun]

for enemies with high health pools, is it better to consume the Scorch debuff with the Fire Extinguisher bessing, or let it keep stacking up past 300?

Depends on your overall build, but for me it's good for finishing fights more quickly. Recently had a run against Eris where I was getting 5k stacks of scorch from the dash eating her bullets, but the fight itself dragged a bit while it was ticking down.

There is no way you're getting 5k scorch from dash alone. She shoots a fair amount of bullets, but no way that many that quickly. Also phase transitions apparently eat scorch, so that doesn't make sense either. Common dash is 2 scorch per bullet and I think heroic is maybe 10 tops? That math ain't mathing.

5k was the peak I got. Though just to be more clear I also had the base smolder ring buff, I just wasn't sure how much that did given how much she zips around. My main point was that the extinguisher boon would've been beneficial in ending the fight quickly

Scorch, even with Fire Extinguisher, is way too slow to be viable imo. Feels like a worse version of blitz/vent

Something can be worse than something else and still be viable. Scorch isn't my first pick but it's fine. You can make decent enough use of it with anything that hits a lot.

And to answer OP, I would consider Fire Extinguisher to be a high priority pick if you're trying to make use of scorch. If you're inflicting meaningful amounts of scorch, you need fire extinguisher to realize the potential damage in a reasonable amount of time. If you're not, then you just won't trigger it.

Ah, that makes way more sense. Scorch ring is going to be doing around 45 scorch per tick iirc at common.

I'd love to see scorch get a rework. Or maybe even just a T2 boon that makes scorch tick faster the higher it's stacked. As is, the DPS is just awful without high tier boons
