Shadow Flare needs a new effect.

And here I thought this would be a thread about Shadowflare's lame spell effect. Anyways I still think Shadowflare could use a significant cast time reduction if not instant cast.

I really don't get it, why a bard can go planting his aoe without a cast time while we rely on a swiftcast cd. But that thought also applies to DoT's as well.

Oh yea I forgot Bio had 40 potency. Oh well, point stands.

[Sanguisio]

To put it into perspective per cast, shadow flare does 10 more potency than Bio on a single target, when it hits multiple targets it does alot more than Bio over 1 cast

*this is providing it is allowed to run its full duration.

Shadowflare is fine as it is, would be nice if cast time was reduced a little but meh.

i would LOVE vulnerability up on SF!!!

also, aetherflow should be changed to 50% cooldown

enkindle should be on a 2 min cooldown

bane should affect unlimited targets in a SF radius area

if they made these changes smn=fixed

[Sanguisio]

yay lets break SMN ^^ ..............


and make SCH shit on everything !

[Waliel]

Yah use it for extra damage, i think some people would only say use it with/on
-swifcast
-multple mobs
-before a pull
-if you're waiting mobs to spawn\
Or you will lose dps

I've never understood this. How is using extra 0.5 seconds casting Shadow Flare for 250 potency worse than Ruin for 80? Seen a few people who are very adamant about this.

Only those inexperienced theory crafter spout that crap

Wanna know something interesting? Shadow flare is a physical aoe dot :3

I think because ruin is guaranteed damage while shadowflare you have to be sure the boss won't move.

Which is pretty easy, if you know the fight at all. . .
