Fire sucks

[VoiD]

I hope they are planing on revising it.

I've tried a couple of classes, my latest is a fire demon witch, and while it's still much better, safer, and faster than most melee classes, compared to my other alternatives, it's terrible.

I'm fully invested in fire nodes, with fire penetration/exposure/etc and even without a respec if I just swap to a couple of lightning or fire spells, without any passives for them at all, they still kill anything I could kill with fire much, much faster.

Not to mention most of the fire spells themselves really suck, the fireball is no fireball at all, it's just spamming firebolts that miss 90% of the shots, fusilade is very clunky to use even if you scattershot+unleash it, firewall does tickle damage, there are no real hard hitting spells on fire, I think a simple arc, or anything ice-related outdamages the entire fire spellbook.

Oh, ignite sucks too.

What about for Warrior?

The fire support gem, infernal cry, and the aura feel pretty good.

Yeah, a well timed perfect strike has 100% chance to ignite, I love seeing the boss health bar melt.

Never tried warrior, I meant the spells.

Just an update.

I got the 2nd last tier of spells just now, the ice comet without any support skils oneshots entire groups, meanwhile the fire storm tickles them, kinda, sometimes, it also misses a lot.

By the way, does anybody know if ember fusillade can get stacking boosts to projectile damage by passing through several firewalls?

All I want for christmas is a fantasy game that doesn't have 'monsters burning alive through the power of raw elemental magic' translate as 0,1% health damage per second for 4 seconds : D

This being said, I'm only at the beginning of the game (~20ish) and setting burning as a guaranteed primer with firewall, shooting through it with pierce fusilate deletes groups and makes most things 2 shots leaning into fire with incindiary ammo, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
