Blackflame Blade casting speed need to be nerfed

[Alexandre]

Last night i was doing some PVP and got absolutely wrecked by this cheap-a** spell. The guy buffed his weapon in about 1 second after roll and as i was recovering from my greatsword R2, i took the combo and died. The casting speed should be way slower, i hope they fix it next patch. A buff that cast that fast should have damage and duration reduced to make it balanced, the way it is now is insane.

After you take a step then.

dude are you really complaining about black flame blade???????????
thats like one of the weakest buffs because it's lasts such a short while and the damage that it gives is not that impressive
i bet you use rivers of blood and and since you got punished for once you think it's "OP"

its a very powerful buff you just need to find a way to combo it into your attacks

he ran out of blue juice and kept spamming the weapon art

Let's nerf everything because I was able to kill enemies by playing the game. Nerf controllers now! Controllers are Op

Oh hey op is the same guy who complained about the map today. Also he complained about the bosses being boring in design. Now this. 3 posts within a few hours.

one of the crappiest buffs in the game and you think it's op; btw the reason its so fast is cause it's a quick cast spell and there's a bunch more that will punish you way worse.

Surprised you haven't been pummeled by beast sling yet lol.

If it is the spell I am thinking of - it also only stays active for one or two combos and times out. Not OP.

The trade-off however is the fast cast for the reduced usability; similar to the drawstring greases and normal grease, you can apply them 2x as fast and they last like half as long.

For real though - I think people not knowing about everything in the game already needs to be nerfed. This is like, the third thread I have seen today that someone sees something for the first time and wants it nerfed...

Hell, why don't they just make it Legend of Zelda Ring, and we get three hits per life, since some 700+ life total is too hard to manage nowadays.

its one of the hardest hitting buffs, but only if you use it correctly

I may get some flack for saying this but Black Flame Blade seems really useless to me, now that my over-leveled character has 70 dexterity the cast speed is actually reliable. If anything the spell needs a buff along with the other incantations.

Also please note I wrote this before reading most of the posts in this thread.

It's horribly inefficient for it's damage and duration on top of all the work to actually make it not suck and miss out on DPS. Run some math on it and realize that Black Flame is more practical with better damage for only 3 more FP.

The buff is bad, I have checked the bejesus out of this thing to see if it's redeemable and it's not: 7 sec duration (drawsting buffs last longer), BF DoT doesn't stack, only refreshes so hitting with it repeatedly isn't huge. The % health damage is spread out over the duration of the DoT (you won't be doing 2-3% per second, it's 2-3% spread out over those few seconds) and it's fire damage, not true damage which means you won't actually be dealing the % HP of something with it. As far I've seen and checked, bleed's % health damage proc can't be reduced but if someone pulls this out on you just slap on a flamedrake talisman and laugh at them.
