Is Rain of Fire still a joke?

Just tested it:

NG+7, 80 Fth, Erdrtree seal, Incant talisman, Fire buff:

1. ~2k damage on Knight at Altus Highway Junction
2. ~3.7k damage to the troll outside of Secluded Cell.

Not bad for a surprise attack, but the animation is still far too long.

That's awesome! I guess you can just rain down destruction with it. Just curious, what's your setup to make this happen?

Buff:
-golden vow Damage +15%
-Flame, Grant Me Strength +20% fire and physical damage

Talismans:
-Godfrey Icon +15% damage charged spells (don't know if it affects rain of fire, but I use it for the other messmer spell)
-Fire Scorpion Charm +12% fire damage
-Flock's Canvas Talisman +8% Damage to all incantation
-Shard of Alexander +15% damage for the spear of messmer

Flask of Wondrous Physick:
-Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear +20% fire damage 3 minutes
-Oil-Soaked Tear +20% fire damage for 1 minutes

Sacred Seals:
-use your best Sacred Seals in one hand and the Fire Knight's Seal in the other to get
the +15% damage to Messmer Fire Incantations

Armors:
-Winged Serpent Helm +10% Damage to all Fire Knight skill for Messmer Spear
-Fire Knight Armor +5% damage to Messmer Fire Incantations

for the stats mostly Faith but go for what you want since you probably get a little bit less damage anyway because my character is quite high level

Tried it on the troll outside of Secluded Cell with my fire build…
He died so fast I can't actually tell the real damage since the spell keep going for at least 3 seconds after…

edit:
Just tried it on the giant on close to the lift on Altus Plateau managed to do 5978 damage pretty good
Slow group of enemies also get melted by it now

Thanks! I'm usually going lvl 200 myself, so I might get somewhat close to your damage I think.

Not a lot of damage but it kinda works now that it can hit the target, i would say its average. Tho is very good against tree spirits.

[Faust Wither]

test it, its not too bad, but only work well on strategic placement or big enemy.

Yes the dmg is substantial now even on a fire giants seal, not the proper mesmer dmg stacking.

It will do a lot of dmg ticks and kill things in pve, pvp meh I don't really care about the meta but it's probably usable.
