Thoughts on the Exterminator?

[boy i'll whip ya head]

I feel like he's really fun, and I thought his weapon was crazy good, but I don't really see many people using him. What do you guys think?

once you unlock everything the game becomes pretty easy overall. anything is viable. burn stacks are very good.

I like him a lot, but I think I got lucky and had most of the fire damage based equipment drop early on. Without all that equipment, and the skills they help unlock, I feel like his damage output might be a little behind some of the other classes.

he has the best atk speed as such he is insane for dots, strap on the the ring that converts main weapon damage to electric then use the pots that double effectivenes on trait one on chance to electrify 2 on multi hit and its gg

[Village Idiot]

He's great.

Unfortunately he doesn't really pop off until you unlock some gear, traits and the Fire blessing.

There is a big problem with exterminator. In the late game you cant see anything through the flamerhrower, so you often get hit by the final boss because you cant see him or his attacks. The flamethrower needs to be more transparent.

Also his weapon does very low base damage and burn stacks cap at 500 dmg. So he has very low single target dps and the main boss on the 3rd map takes ages to kill.

Honestly I think his biggest issue is just how much better the other elemental character (sorc) is. Lightning and kugel are just so much stronger than breath and meteor (breath is sooo bad once you start unlocking any other skill evos tbh), plus she can actually scale crit. Burn damage needs the cap buffed to like 1-2k and he'll be in a better spot

Exterminator is mostly fire-based, with weak crits. Flat damage weaker than crit scaling, lighting skills are better than fire-based ones, and burn stacks just don't deal enough damage to be relevant.

He still does a ton of damage with main weapon, and burn through crowds quickly, but these downsides limiting him. I find Sorceress much more powerful in the late game, even when her main weapon is worse.

Exterminator is a Dot Machine.
Give him the Thunder Ring and build Radiant Aura on fast attack speed with debuff upgrade.
Apply multiple Burn + Electrify Stacks in a blink and melt Lords in 60 seconds.

His biggest weakness, the lack of range.
He is my 2nd favorite Char.

One trick with the exterminator early on is to build movement speed. WHen you move forward, all of the fire projectiles hit a target at the same time and it becomes a burst damage of sorts. So if you move backwards away from a boss you deal less damage, while moving forward you deal more.
