Talk:Mind Blast

Alrighty then. *staples this to his ele's bar* Anyone got some super glue? Ubermancer 02:27, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * When used right, this skill is a super-flare, AND an energy mangement skill? Extreme, but i'm still not sure if this will replace my new favourite spell: Searing Flames Bubbinska 02:59, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * WTF? what is so good about searing flames? this si much better -213.84.52.71 07:43, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Mind Blast > Mind Burn. Take that, lame fire elites. Seriously, it's about time. My Elemental Attunement is getting boring. I want to be able to use Fire elites. DancingZombies 19:43, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Mind Burn is good for short duration encounters, like RA/TA/AB, where by the time you drain yourself the battle is over or you are dead. Mind Blast is good for the long haul, where it'll provide both good damage and energy over time. Both have good uses. The question is - can you find enough good non-elite fire magic skills to fill the rest of your bar? --Mysterial 22:07, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

This skill isnt that great, I would still prefer a dual attune echo nuker over someone who can spam flare indefinately. Now Searing Flames! That shows a lot of potential! Not only does it cause AOE but it recharges so quickly you could just spam it over and over again for AOE burning and AOE damage. (T/C) 22:35, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Well... Fast Casting plus Arcane Echo plus Mind Blast should be pretty decent for a flashfire mesmer who can't afford the 15 energy Flames too many times. Kessel 05:44, 24 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I'll admit, dual attune pwns anything, but that's only if you can keep them up. Enchantment stripping is popular in PvP, and in PvE, too. There's a lot more Afflicted Mesmers out there than you think... Also, there are a lot of enchantment-banes in Nightfall, so using two attunes is pretty dangerous... Using this as a dedicated energy tool (you can actually gain energy from using this), and sticking other fire spells in between, and you've got yourself some nasty damage. Plus, as Kessel said, two of these at the same time with Arcane Echo makes for some crazy DPS, plus even more energy. However, the secondary effect is best used with primary Elementalists, for the assurance of having more energy, and so you don't hit your max as soon. Fast casting might not be the best idea, but it's not a bad one. DancingZombies 10:23, 24 September 2006 (CDT)
