Talk:Flame Geyser

Anyone know the type of damage? Someone with a high level ranger could test it then I can compare with my high level warrior...

Wouldn't it be nearly impossible to determine the type beyond labelling it as physical or elemental? You'd have to have either a Mantra or something that triggers on a certain damage type, and none of those exist in presearing. Silver40596 20:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * no. insignia's can be found in pre-searing and salvaged off with a charr salvage kit, placed on armor, and used to determine the type of damage done.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 21:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, but it would be awfully hard to find all 4 types of elemental insignia in presearing...still, I have always wondered whether it was REALLY fire damage. Silver40596 21:08, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * awfully hard!=impossible--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 21:09, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Then why did you suggest it? Silver40596
 * ?? I suggested it because you asked if it would be impossible to test for the type of damage!--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 21:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I did...and now you are saying that it is impossible. Silver40596
 * Umm, read it again^^. I said that awfully hard != impossible (!= means "not equal")--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 21:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh sorry...I'm used to =/= meaning impossible. I thought you just got carried away with how difficult it was. Haha. Silver40596

Amount of damage? Survivability?
This page currently claims 500 damage, which is not survivable by any non-LDoA candidate. The official site claims that  a little armor rating and a couple hundred health  is all you need to survive. As far as I can tell, no one has posted on either wiki any evidence supporting either claim. My L8 ranger walked into one and suffered 241 damage with 30 Armor (surviving with 4 hp). The pet survived a different geyser with 239/240 damage. (And, incidentally, in both cases, it triggered well outside the visible range of the trap.) The Necromancer's Novice quest was not active.

So, does this mean the geysers do far less than 500 damage? Or is the damage calibrated (in part) by profession? (It seems an odd coincidence to survive with barely enough HPs.) Has anyone done explicit testing to determine the amt of damage? Thanks. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 08:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I haven't got a clue about most stuff, but a ranger has +30 armor vs elemental damage, so if this thing deals fire damage (well, it would be logical), you actually had 60 AL against it.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 09:01, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Plus the 500 damage probably could not be tested with a 60 al character seeing as those don't exist in presearing, so the 500 damage was probably from 0 al.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Roar.]]îğá†ħŕášħ 09:14, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
