Talk:Fire Storm

I read on a forum that Fire Storm hits automaticly head hit location. Could somebody confirm this? Lets add note of it on skill (and to other skills if they have similar characteristics). --Jazim 18:16, 18 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I highly doubt it. I'd test it if several people weren't currently on vacation/away.  I've never heard of anything that doesn't either always hit the chest (guaranteed damage from skills, which I'd assume fire storm falls under) or hit a random location (everything else).  --Fyren 18:25, 18 Aug 2005 (EST)

The concept that earth damage strikes feed, and lighning damage strikes the head is an urban legend because i know no source that really checked for this.

Its only tested that arrows have a height angle and the shield only covers ~90Â° of a players front. Exactly where a given attack will strike depends on the orientation of the target, and the type of attack that you are making. Each attack has a chance of hitting the target at any of the five hit locations. The exact percentages are dependent upon the orientation of the target - if you're attacking from above, you are more likely to get a head shot - but under most circumstances, the rough hit locations break down as follows: *Arms	12.5% *Head	12.5% *Feet	12.5% *Legs	25.0% *Torso	37.5% some pages say spells (skills that are no attacks but do damage to foes) allways hit the torso, but thats also not proven. --Ollj 21:01, 18 Aug 2005 (EST)

Well, I don't know about PvE since I stopped before the AoE changes, but the note about PvP was true. I have never seen it used well. --Fyren 16:04, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I would like to add an idea but I'm not sure if anyone else likes it: When using elemental attunement (or ele+fire, which is what I use), it's interesting to take, 16 fire, 11 or so energy storage and the rest into water magic. Using deep freeze followed by firestorm will cause massive damage, even if they flee the last 3 seconds or so. - Ichigo724 18:57, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
