Talk:Bed of Coals

Is the "standing still" portion of the description to circumvent the AoE update? If not, then it is a poor AoE damage skill.--Life Infusion 08:31, 28 March 2006 (CST)

Could be useful to a 55 monk with SoJ, except that the AoE dmg will cause the monsters to flee... but with low fire magic this does not happen, right? Does anyone know the maximum for this?

It might be worthy of consideration to bring Whirlwind, even without any points in Air Magic, as a relatively cheap area-of-effect knockdown, with an easy to fill condition. From experinces I've had in Alliance Battles and othe forms of PvP, most warriors will refuse to run out of Bed of Coals area of effect, and as such can be knocked down, and set on fire, fairly easily. --KeeseroGuan 15:02, 9 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Or...you can knockdown with "None shall pass!". Either you stand still and take damage, or you get knocked down and start burning. Lightblade 04:20, 7 December 2006 (CST)

So far, playing nuker, I've found that the aim of this skill is not really damage unless you combine it with knockdown. What this skill excels in is area defense in PvE. Let's say a bunch of foes breaks the warrior line and heads for caster zone. Spit this spell out in one second, as compared to Fire Storm's three, and you have a ten second long period during which the AI kicks in and they flee and return, flee and return... Excellent for keeping things off your monk and MM in a sticky PvE situation. Kessel 08:29, 4 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Oookay, they've finally fixed this and it only hits non-moving. Marginally less effective now. Kessel 05:50, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
