Is the blight phoenix skill for siren any good?

[John190_homicidal_maniac]

I have been reading that its not that good.

Ummm...try it and decide for yourself?

I don't use it. Better to put the skill points in a more useful place.

It makes Maya look cool with the wings, and when the Phoenix is active it will explode barrels nearby. You do need to be aware of your surroundings so you aren't accidentally sent into FFYL by the wings blowing up barrels near you.
If you want to have this, a single point is adequate. The damage done by this skill really doesn't warrant putting more points into this.

I don't use it personally. The spare point is better elsewhere.

If you've been reading old bad reviews, many were based on its being glitched in the original release. GBX later patched the glitch ppl had been complaining about. Still, opinions are mixed with raves tying Cloud Kill, Ruin & it to heavy investments in Chain Reaction & Life Tap for dominating OP8 Siren Builds useful for solo Mayas (cf purple OP8 Trickster COMs boosting these skills by +13).

Your links are broken if you want to make adjustments - ty am familiar with both builds - the one I've hinted at using BP is called Blighted Thief uses purple OP8 Thieving Trickster COM +13 and has those other investments - it's well-rounded & pretty fun for wrecking OP8
