Burn Build - Do We Really Need Impact ?

[ShanX]

After the new update with Blazing Soul reducing Inferno CD by 3 Sec each time you use Dragon Blaze.

 

I find it a lot easier to just use Short Fuse 18 sec CD ( 10 sec Burn ) then use inferno 45 Sec CD ( 6 Sec Burn ) after short fuse has worn of.

 

Of course when enemy is Burn debuff you spam Dragon Blaze and the Fire Beam ( forgot name ) as much as you can.

 

I find that after I have re-applied short fuse 2nd time and half way through it my inferno is back up again.

 

So I tend to spend my skill points elsewhere instead of impact as I don't find it useful anymore jus for burn debuff purpose only.

 

Of course like many FM you only use BURN rotation skill when facing a high HP mob or Boss.

For any trash mobs the F Spam skills is more than enough.

 

Let me know what you think.

Impact is still useful for those downtimes between cooldowns but yes it's not as necessary as it used to be. I keep it anyway just to be safe. 

[aangus]

Impact is usefull for both fire and ice build. You can keep burning your oponent  and deal more damage, all this with 5 ember stack .

[Strindberg]

It's usually spec'd into Force Blast.

 

If you feel like you're comfortable keeping burn up without it then by all means put the points into something else.

Force blast as it is the primary way of applying burn so it guarantees u will have a way to apply burn no matter what as impact and blazing palm cost no focus and dont have a CD.

Also short fuse that gives 10 sec burn has a 30s CD not 18 that one has a 5s burn, almost inferno i use as more of a dps skill right after duel drags as it stacks 5 embers that add to the dmg of it by ember explosion like Duel Drag>inferno>meteor>Anicanc 2 spam

First things first, its a yes that we still need impact reason being dragonblaze doesnt reduce inferno or short fuse's cooldown but meteor shower instead... so we still need a reliable way of refreshing burn debuff.

Secondly, the 18sec version of short fuse has 5 sec burn, the 30sec version what we should be using has 10sec burn. So i dont really know what ur trying to say here... which ends up to the topic question doesnt make much sense to me as well.

In 50 patch with part 1 book from yeti and part 2 from nightmare we will unlock Aura blast hongmoon level.Now dmg may not look that good but in 50 that damn skill crit for 12-15k :D

Also from Snow Jade we will unlock 2(will have the speed of ice rain).Imagine C up and dragonchar with ice rain speed :)

 

Practice it to get good ! Now you may not explode every 5 stacks because,well not that big of a deal,but work around your combos to master 1 on every 5 stacks.

 

And master your tank abilities....lvl 50 bracelet have threat increase...you gotta love ogres in new faction zone,trust me.

what does it mean "on flame dragon hit "  plz ?

[Dlacik]

I think that refers to when you hit target with dragonblaze, block or evade doesn't count.

You can't keep burn up 100% without Impact so yes it is still useful.  I use the shorter CD Fuse and there's still 2-3 Impact's per cycle where I need to reapply burn.  Not having burn on the target is one of the largest drops to DPS you can give yourself.

[KamijoTouma]

burn must never expire. So you still need impact
