Scorching Ray vs Flamblast: why FB so OP?
|
I'm leveling a marauder (that will go chieftain), and had the idea of going Ancestral Bond Scorching Ray. As I'm leveling, the dps seemed veeeerrryyyy low, and upon switching to Flameblast, the difference was instantaneous! Flameblast is so much stronger... how come?
In my head I still hope to use Scorching Ray, but I'm not sure anymore. Anyone care to tell me how come FB is so much stronger, and/or tell me what to link Scorching Ray with to make it better? Thanks. Last bumped on Mar 18, 2017, 8:09:22 PM

Because GGG suck at balancing? This is a pretty well established fact by now.

|
did they do another 'rebalance'? Is flameblast actually strong now?

Well it seems strong enough... at low levels anyway. (still leveling)

" Flameblast has pretty much always been strong. There was one relatively recent change that made FB Totems specifically better: "Improved Totem AI when used with Flameblast so that it ends the channel correctly once it has reached max stacks." But that's all. ------------ There's a reason Flameblast is incredibly meta and Ray isn't in the slightest. That said, Ray is still a viable Skill. Controlled Destruction + Elemental Focus gets you a good set of More Damage multipliers, and the Holy Fire cluster nets incredible Increased Damage (which Flameblast doesn't get :P). I personally prefered hardcasting though, didn't feel like a *great* Totem Skill. Workable, but not really worthwhile. |
