Firestorm, more like fire drizzle

It's just bad, bad in every way possible. Maybe it's just me but I always imagined firestorm being the big heavy fire spell, but right now it feels like slapping mobs with a soft pillow that somehow manages to feel clunky

Its crazy how bad it is.
I just specced into it to try it out in late late game. Turns out: Every other skill I use to set up Firestorm kills the mobs in a faction of time. And yet I need all 3 infusions to even get some acceptable damage. I really dont know why it is not an AOE DOT that just deals dmg in an area over its duration. Why do I shoot 500 projectiles for 99% of them to miss? Also why the hell is the dmg per hit so god damn low. its like 360 base dmg on lvl 30. Whats that gonna kill? Either buff the dmg per hit to like 10x or make it a real AOE dmg/sec thing. |

many spells had 0 logic behind numers, why 32 ball lightnig 15-285, ITS JOKE

You want it as a trigger.

" GGG likes to make big-ass bosses size of a barn, and players were using firestorm to cheese those bosses. GGG nerfed by imposing single target cooldown (0.5 sec afaik), but firestorm is still convenient against large bosses, this is why it stuck with crap damage. Even if you trigger it, any other real aoe is better for mapping. Firestorm was crap in poe1, it is still crap in poe2, because GGG ports poe1 zoom-zoom content to poe2. |

" I don't understand how you manage to make Firestorm bad. It's truly an achievement. HCSSF is the only way.

Fine, firestorm is technically viable, but less efficient than other fire spells, be it mana, cast limit, or accuracy. And it is at odds with ignite. Fire damage needs big hits, not 10 tiny hits per second. And of course it clutters screen too much.

This is me breezing through both campaign and maps with my pyromancer spamming Firestorm. In HCSSF. In 0.2, before spells were buffed drastically. This whole post is nonsense. HCSSF is the only way. แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย Fae_Lyth#6750 เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2025 11:09:52

" You think this is good? Maybe our definition of good and breezing is quite different Your point of reference for "good" might be quite different as well I'd rather not talk about the "before spells got buffed drastically" either |

" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad6G3oRA0DI Yes, I would most definitely call this good and breezing. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxL02LkX4KfhEtRfrURZPOY0jH43a0tB4F?si=joRpPA7n16xiw7dE Literally one shotting packs. And spells did get buffed drastically since then, read the patch notes. HCSSF is the only way. แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย Fae_Lyth#6750 เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2025 11:23:25
