Are fire arrows Op?

[MegaMan]

For me they are. They one hit (+dmg overtime) low level Argent/Raptor/Direwolf all of them were around 900-1000 Hp. Is there a counter?

[Grip]

took about 1/2 of stone arrows it used to be needed to kill a terror birds

killed 3 of them

[Merno]

Theres a oil jar engram, so lite it up with a fire arrow.

build a better dino pen. use spyglass before engaging dangerous dinos. know your dinos limits. remote use meat to heal it.

Dangerous Dinos? More like random dangerous players. Until I can start forcefeeding the dino is usually dead. It's just around 3-4 sec time, in mid battles that isn't enough lol

yeah. almost lost a 223 perfect 150 rex tame yesterday that i had just tamed and leveled a bit to a 35 alpha rex. backed into ocean and it forgot about me. i managed to swim away amd heal up. 9k heal forcefeed is painful even with mouse macro. you should just lead dinos into the ocean mebe (giggle)

so pay to win then?

[MegaMan]

Hope you are a troll -.- Water on scored earth not too common... and a pvp battle is sure something else than a battle with an alpha rex

Think the positive there is sulfur is only from mountains in small amounts and rock elementals.
Personaly i think the arrows are fine,

Not as useful as a well placed bola/chain bola, or bear trap.

A well placed chain bola and the strongest of flyers just falls from the sky with an army of raptors and wolves waiting for it.

A well placed normal bola and any wolf, raptor, sabre ect is basicly stunned for 30-40 seconds unless a players on it in which case closer to 5 seconds.

Also the only time you got time for the fire to burn them is if ur up a rock,mountain or one of the above mentioned is used.

[MegaMan]

Nope you can also use fire arrows in close or mid-range combat. If the player who shot gets burned by his own fire he can still run and heal himself on the otherside you can't heal your mount at same time when fleeing or attacking.

Fire Arrows are horrible OP. They do %ual DMG over 10 seconds, depending on max.-life of the target. So you are able to kill nearly everything with them over 10-40 seconds, as long target is not immune against fire arrows like Rock Golems are.
If this is kept like this the fire arrows are much to easy to get. They should be endgame lev 90+.
Otherwise: DEVs, plz make the overtime dmg not %, but a fixed number. Maybe about 250 dmg over 10 seconds.
