lol this skill is not op,
forgot to mention that for me in that 5 seconds most of the flames does not crit.
Elemental Catalysis plus 5 sec flame spams
Elemental Catalysis plus regular speed pot flame spams
my regular burn without using earth core crits more, does more damage also per flame.
sure with earth core a m/wrd can cast alot of flames in that short 4 secs. since you are still in gcd while you cast the skill and have the animation , but most of those flames doesnt crit, and my crit unbuffed is around 72%
tried flame spams on both m/wrd and m/w
its a good skill, no doubt about that, and besides a m/wrd in siege cant spam his skills against a whole group and wipe them like how most guilds are, cause we have a rotation and and their is a short pause where all our skills will be on cooldown,
go play one first like how all the p/s says to go play their class LOL
nerf is good....
for p/s that is LMFAO
NERF OR NOTHING
the reason that this skill is considered OP is because a single mage can take out a 400k+ HP healer, and then if you are in a group(like you stated, most run in groups in SW), the rest can take out all the others without too much difficulty.
it would ruin the whole "couple dps/tank + 1-2 pocket healer(s)" SW strat.
i am actually glad it is not as good as a regular boss burn on m/wdn that means it would be a post-burn skill, which would be nice for a mage to have any post-burn dps at all
it is only 5 sec, and serenstum lasts 6 sec...so yeah...
