Talk:Steam

Unless running a water/fire ele or teaming with a fire ele, this isn't viable.--Life Infusion 20:53, 28 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, Nightfall is adding a fair number of abilities that set people on fire. See Burning. I still personally wouldn't want to depend on it...&mdash;Aranth 21:12, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

I find it amusing that STEAM does COLD damage. I've heard of people being scalded by steam...can't say I've ever heard of anyone being CHILLED by it. Then again, I've never heard of anyone summoning meteors from the sky either so I guess the point is mootDKS01 05:00, 29 September 2006 (CDT)
 * they probably did that to prevent the Mark of Rodgort + multiple people spamming steam combo.. Still, a build can easily be made around this idea. MoR + a warrior with IAS and a flaming weapon, or a ranger with a fire prep and an ele with lot of steam(low cost and low cast, and a recharge that Serpents Quickness or Arcane Echo can help out with) can take out a foe easily... -- Ifer (t/c) 05:15, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

Mmmm. Immolate + Steam. Burning Arrow + Steam. Yum! Tarinoc 13:36, 4 October 2006 (CDT)

I'm guessing this is supposed to be used with Elemental Flame I might even consider making an elementalist now. 67.20.226.28 19:22, 5 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Elemental Flame only works with elemental Hexes, this skill is a spell, so it would not work. >> Trace 19:59, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I think they might mean the interaction between short duration water hexes to trigger Elemental Flame and then this to work on the burning. Merengue 14:00, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

To keep the pressure up, it looks like a good synergy between a number of more obvious spells here. Shatterstone + Elemental Flame + Freezing Gust + Steam and you've got a pretty toasted foe that just swallowed close to 400 raw damage that's blinded as well at Water Magic 16. --Katko 9:43, 29 November (CDT)
