Feel free to contradict that statement. Heroes suck at this bar. They suck less at Searing Flames, so that's what I'm forced to give them.

Searing Flames is inferior because you need to spam it to do damage, if you let up for a second then all you're doing is burning some mobs which is hardly the most threatening thing. Also to maximize its power, you need a bunch of eles casting it which means you've tied up 2-4 times amount of skillbars for one skill.

..and really..

It's PvE.

I'm quite certain you can beat everything in PvE with no skills period.

..and if you can't..

You should uninstall

Just think back to the days when there were no heroes and henchmen didn't even have full skillbars.

Mind blast is good, but personally, I prefer dual attunement builds with high energy, high damage spells. Does a ton of damage, it costs little energy due to the attunement, and with a high e storage and Aura, you get massive heals.

And, Asrial? If you ever actually played harder areas in the game you'd learn one very important thing about pve- its the equipment that doesn't matter as much- your skillset is everything.

Ah but, the problem with Dual Attune is its enchantment based - and sometimes enchantments get stripped

Dual Attune is good, but some people like MB over it, much like me! (i used to use dual attune and it was funny!)

And Asrial obviously knows more about the game than you. It is possible to beat the game with an empty skill bar. PvE is ridiculously easy when you understand basic positioning.

Honestly I ran Searing Flames about as often if not more often than Mind Blast before PvE skills; it was simply a matter of how many enemies I'd expect to be facing.

With the addition of PvE skills, Mind Blast obliterates all the other elites. Searing Flames is for characters who haven't completed EotN yet.

Mainly in that case, I will use an attune and an alternate E management form.

I know mind blast + rodgorts = obvious combo and leaves room for a lot of utility, in my exp., SF is best used on hero ele bars rather then MB... they just dont seem to spam Rodgorts enough to cancel out the energy cost of rodgorts. Besides, I dunno why everyones SF... it does what it does and does it well (cept destroyers but yea...)

If you really want some utility you could just drop an Ele form the SF/MM way and bring a character specifically filling the support roll you need. I know going MB frees up slots in a bar, but tbh, eles primary roles are as ranged damage dealers and SF does that.

My hero set up is usually

Me (Ele, SF or MB)
Vekk (SF + Interrupts)
N/Rt (Jagged Bones MM)
<SUPPORT ROLE> -> usually a SoR Tactics Para or HB monk depending on the area im In.

the burning the SF produces is in it of itself a form of support for your chars with right build. ToF + Watch Yourself coupled with Motivational Party wide heals is pretty 1337 in nm and hm.
