Talk:Mark of Rodgort

Sigh. Like everything else in the update, 1...4 is the range for 0...15. We use 0...12. --Fyren 00:14, 29 Aug 2005 (EST)

My good grief is this skill now a REAL burninator! Mass hex plus some application of AoE fire makes everything burn for a good long while. Kessel 09:43, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Indeed. Fiery bow string + Barrage + Mark of Rodgort = a freaking PvE Bonfire!--[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  14:49, 27 October 2006 (CDT)
 * There's gotta be space for an elementalist in a B/P team now, what with this + water hexes to slow + wards... Just one barrager with a firey bow string would be enough, no need for evberybody to lose the Orders bonus. --NieA7 10:24, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * No need for a Ranger to lose his Orders bonus at all. Have the ele bring the fire weapon.  :D  [[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  10:31, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Interesting point. I was looking at the 5 second recharge and reduced cost - the Ele could spread this around a bit (especially if they bring Echo) resulting in a giant pile of crispy Grasps the next time a firey Barrage is used... --NieA7 10:34, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Should add a note: Use with Glyph of Lesser Energy. Especially with the new update to it!  omg... this is just too insane!  A nerf will be soon to follow I know it has too because this sounds like too much fun (unless on the receiving end).[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  10:47, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * TBH, a Fiery Barrager already has points in Fire and 15 energy isn't too much for him if he uses a Zealous bow. I'm pretty sure the Ranger could bring this all by himself, making this a valid PvE pick-up-and-go build. Kessel 10:49, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * This is exactly why I added this variant to R/E Fire Barrage Ranger. You'd need to bring Conflagration to offset the lack of a fiery string but you could also just use a fiery string with the Glyph instead of a Zealous string for energy management too.[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  10:53, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

Of course, I just realized that the mobs AI has changed again too and since I haven't played this they probably scatter from Barrage now and run off the zone edge on hit or some wacky crazy behavior like that whish would ruin the whole thing.  Vallen Frostweaver  10:55, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I just went out to test with the following loadout: Conflag, Con Flame, MoRod, Barrage, Glyph of Lesser. It is FUN. Kessel 11:21, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm at work. I hate you... (_;) [[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  11:35, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Alright, I just went out with a Fiery string in place of Conflag. Short form - W. O. A. H. Use the glyph to manage your energy. It does so much damage I feel like crying - I saved the template right away. Kessel 12:15, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Good to know. I am envious as I won't be able to try this out for a while.  Oh well.  Enjoy it while you can.  :D  [[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  12:19, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Eh, when work is over you can come join the burnination. *grin* Kessel 12:21, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * You know I will. Back to basics with a burning ranger build again.  I love it.[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  12:39, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

Wow, this skill is incredibly powerful, what with this then something like Fireball, at 16 Fire Magic, and 3 foes hit (often more, but we'll use 3 as an example) you'll deal (116 X 3) + (14 X 4 X 3) = 507 damage (against 60 AL targets) and an additional 56 damage to every foe hit by fire damage in the 37 seconds of the duration of the hex, for just 25 energy O.O (or 15 with GoLE) OMG NURF LOLZORD, this is almost overpowered now.. not that IM complaining >:D Terrifi Cani 14:31, 27 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, it's still a hex, and it's still conditional. I was surprised by the fact that they gave a cost decrease AND the adjacent status, and while I'm really quite pleased with it, I don't think it's all that bad, in terms of potential broken-ness.  Merengue 14:43, 27 October 2006 (CDT)
 * But this is alot like Glimmering Mark which is elite. Glimmer is only one person but when hit with lighting, it spreads its condition as opposed to the Mark which spreads the hex but not the condition. This matches with air magic being usually for one opponent and fire for many foes. With its reduced energy cost, this spell is now practically a must on my bar in PvE and for when I roll a fire ele in PvP. And because it's not elite, combining with Greater Conflagration can add a huge boost to the attacks of warriors and rangers. &mdash; JediRogue  [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]] (talk | contribs)
