Fire Torrent is OP

[M — K]

Just killed the incomplete one with a lvl 1 fire torrent. Just take it for a spin and everything will die instantly.

Yeah, 1 shotting watcher phases and destroying tentacles instantly isn't op, of course.

That can be done with almost any weapon or skill if your stat is high enough.

Fire Torrent is still one of the few weapons I haven't unlocked on purpose, for being just plain terrible. The moment you start going directly to Ossuary or Prison depths and Sepulchre you are going to regret bringing that crap with you. :)
In other areas enemies aren't that fast, so you can use it, but levels with enemies that have higher amounts of health (Prison Depths) or are just moving too fast and are too many (Sepulchre) will wreck you.
Because it's low range, but mostly because you have to be sitting in one place for it to do it's damage. Also any fliers will make it a nightmare as the Fire torrent is shooting only horizontally. Most of the time they will attack you from weird angles and good luck hitting and dodging them and other enemies when they mix together, if that is your only weapon.

And your other weapon was what? :)

[<:)]

ahhhh dammit I was hoping nobody would post this. it's so fun tearing tthrough everything with fire torrent. Now it's gona get nerfed.
One of its biggest strengths is that you can fall down from above an enemy while firing it, so there is no wind up time to casting it, and you often start dealing damage before the enemy agros.

Don't worry, I think that the majority of us are pretty biased against it being that good. It's nowhere near as the Rapier pre-nerf in terms of people going over their head to prove it's so good they want such a nerf that would stop their addiction to it. :)

[Pixel Peeper]

Yeah. The Rapier was like... "When I'm not invincible, I'm critting all the time for huge numbers!" and it was beyond obvious to everyone that it needed a solid nerf.

But a spell that straight up immobilizes you while it's in use? It better be damn good.

Pretty much. If it's damage gets lowered, well more people than just me would choose to not bother with it's unlocking.

[Frosthaven]

I kind of figured that if any weapons would be complained about it would be the new spiteful sword (which can stunlock every mob in the game now) or the hayabusa boots (which have massive aoe, fast attacks, great utility combined with a recent damage buff).

I will say that the drop-down from air to negate startup frames is pretty common. It makes the lightning usable (well, mostly), turns the heavy crossbow into an instant one-shot shotgun, gives the broadsword a great advantage, etc etc. You'll have fun experimenting with that drop-down startup :D

[wckowalski]

In any case, the fire torrent is one of 7 blueprints I haven't got yet.

[76561198055122557]

Shush now Frosthaven, lest you want the nerfing of those pretty average weapons you mentioned. Worse than average. ;) Garbage even. :)

Oh. Ohhh. Yes much garbo. ;)

[sirkipalot]

Anyone fought the incomplete one with his aoe aura up? You may be suprized with the results if you melee him. :)

I'd love to be able to complain about those but I still have to find one of those that is not the post watcher created by blueprint drop XD
