Seeing the buff for fire, I have started to see a top 100 guild, then pugs start using fire + duel enchantments + fast cast. Being only around 15 hours for the nerf, i have already observed 5-6 teams using this... Looks like the replacement for iway is here. OMG USE FOR MANTRA of FLAME.

Hmm. I saw this used once, by aW. Thats it. I dont think its the new fotm. Maybe fire eles will be more popular in pvp tho.

EDIT: I ran this build tonight. It is very fun.

The fire damage was only slightly increased anyway.

Cast time and energy cost were reduced though, which makes it much more attractive as opposed to air or earth.

When I was fooling around with triple firestorm (I was unaware that other is making it into fotm), I rediscover that people usually ignore firestorm, and they would get kill by triple version as there are only one inside their mind.

Fast cast don't help much at all in my opinion. A waste of attribute point.

er, are we reading the same updates?

Fire Storm: decreased cast time to 2 seconds.
Mark of Rodgort: decreased recharge time to 5 seconds.

Inferno: increased damage to 30..135.
Flame Burst: increased damage to 15..120.
Rodgort's Invocation: increased damage to 15..120.
Lava Font: increased damage to 5..35 per second.
Searing Heat: increased damage to 5..35 per second.

Firestorm is still useless because people move out of it. Mark of rodgort is in a different vein altogether, doesn't really have to do with fast-cast fire nukers. No energy costs were changed.

Unless you can have some people in your team to block aroun that one or two player from getting away, firestorm would work.

I don't think it'll be FotM because ranger spike teams will easily kill this, add mantra of flame, basically going to take a long time just to kill a ranger spike team.

but ranger spike did get nerfed a little bit with the oov nerf and the distortion nerf.

and w/o oov, thats a potenial 100+ damage lost.
