Doubled post for some reason, delete
my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes ----- Bug Fixes: People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex. Also, we went ahead and made cyclone great for CoC casters while we were at it. Last edited by Legatus1982#1658 on Dec 5, 2016, 4:58:12 PM

" 1.3.1b (13 February 2015) - last nerf Reduced the damage of Flameblast by 20%. 2.0.0 Now grants 1% increased damage per 1% quality (quality no longer affects ignite chance). No longer works with Spell Echo. Base Cast Speed has been increased from a cast time of 300ms to 200ms to compensate for no longer working with Spell Echo. 2.1.0 Damage has been increased by around 20% at all levels. 2.4.0 Channeled stuff - no nerfs or buffs In the last 2 fucking years (21 months to be exact) it has only seen buffs. Or maybe in your world you consider a 33% reduction to cast time and a freed support gem slot a nerf? my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes ----- Bug Fixes: People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex.

" Considering that almost every build using Flameblast supports it with Faster Casting and that one would simply be replaced with Spell Echo it is actually exactly what they said, replacing Faster Casting with Spell Echo would exactly do what changing the cast time did, so that is essentially a neutral change. And the 2.1 buff essentially reverted the 1.3 changes, although not entirely, the skill is still a bit weaker. And yes the biggest change of Flameblast was turning the more damage into more spell damage, so the created ignites do not double dip anymore. |

" Sources of increased damage, increased fire damage, and increased elemental damage all still double dip. The more multiplier change is a net 8% damage reduction on single-hit flameblasts that ignited only. If you call that "the biggest change", well. It's mathematically not. I will note that any time you ignite a mob more than twice in the space of 4 seconds, or don't ignite at all, your 8% reduction is less than an 8% reduction or is a 0% reduction, accordingly. And while the "change" is neutral, the EXTRA GEM SLOT is not neutral at all. You used to have a 6 link including spell echo, you now have a 5 link with the same damage and your 6th link is just extra stuff beyond what you had before. This is a buff. TLDR the changes to flameblast have been all buffs and a single nearly insignificant nerf. my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes ----- Bug Fixes: People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex.

"Np, you are blind then, cannot be helped I guess. And wait what ? .... Replacing one gem by another means adding one gem slot ? Good job there. " Ladies and Gentleman, the straw continues !!! As a great man used to sing, "THE STRAW MUST GO OOOOON" ! SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

" I think I stand for most of the people reading this thread when I say nobody even knows what the hell you're talking about at this point. FB was made to be not compatible with spell echo. It was also given a 33% faster cast time. For those who were, IE, using FB without spell echo already, they got a free 33% cast speed buff. For those that were using echo, they got a 33% cast speed buff instead of spell echo, and a free gem slot - where echo used to be. It's a fucking buff einstein. This isn't rocket science dude. And what the fuck is this straw thing you keep going on about? Seriously you are well beyond making sense at this point. Stop posting on this thread. my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes ----- Bug Fixes: People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex.

Something else that you missed I guess :
" No need for rocket science to have things that you are missing heh. And no, you are trying to stand for yourself, against the world, you've been doing that for 38 pages now, GG.

" [Removed by Support] Making FB not work with echo and giving it a 33% cast speed buff instead IS A BUFF, NOT A NERF, AND NOT A NEUTRAL CHANGE. [Removed by Support] I'll explain it to you [Removed by Support] Pre-change 2 sockets: FB, spell echo Post-change 2 sockets: FB, faster casting, AND A 33% MORE CAST SPEED BUFF FREE OF CHARGE [Removed by Support] my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes ----- Bug Fixes: People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex.

Thank you for showing your lack of knowledge on basic mechanics, really.
Let me put it in a more simple way : pre nerf FB : FB + spell echo post nerf FB : FB + faster casting efficienty : roughly the same. You got it now ? SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

Also, since it is monday night, here's the results of the prediction:
Blade flurry: one ranger, one slayer EQ: 4, 3 slayers and a juggernaut Rest are casters, summoners, support or totem So in 3 days we have 2 guys using BF. Oh and by the way, ETUP is dead. Remember when I said, " Hey remember that time I said that? And then it all happened exactly the way I fucking told you it would? Lol @ dual wield assassin life build in HC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes
