Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Combat Discipline - will increase the damage of this combat art and lower its regeneration time if it is placed in a combo.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina will lower regeneration time

Usage Strategies

  • This aspect's most effective spell against mobs. Herd together as large group in as open an area as possible and cast.
  • Right-clicking close to the character will result in a wider angle of the firestorm (~90°) but lower damage on initial hit. Right-clicking farther away from the character will result in a firestorm of a smaller angle that will do more damage on initial hit.
  • As the damage over time is larger than the initial damage, a way to quickly kill mobs can be to cast and move on, letting the DOT finish them off. This can be a very fast way to gain experience. The disadvantage of this method is that you leave behind treasure when the mobs die.
  • Can be used in association with items with Combat Art Range +X% modifiers (such as Nlovae's mystery and Glacial Defender) to increase combat art range significantly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • The wave hits all enemies in its scope, passing through opponents, instead of being blocked by them.
  • Enemies catch Fire 100% of the time, players will thus always deal Damage Over Time.
  • Damage over time hits from this Combat Art can incur Chance for critical hits.
  • Ambition mod increases Chance for critical hits on both initial hit and Damage over Time (DoT) hits.
  • The flat fire damage portion of Firestorm can trigger the Burning secondary effect, which will cause extra fire DoT on top of the built-in DoT.

Cons

  • Comparatively long regeneration time unless Spell Flow mod is taken.
  • Obstacles (signs, trees, rocks, etc.) cannot be passed through. The blocked segment of the wave will be extinguished.
  • Cannot pass over water (i.e. ponds, ocean, swamp, etc.).
