Talk:Elemental Flame

Hmm....Elemental Flame could probably be used with a bunch of water magic spells. Come to think of it, it seems Anet is trying to make a bunch of the new fire/water skills work together. >> Trace 20:16, 24 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Yep, the icon even has a flame burning over a sheet of ice. -- Gordon Ecker 04:57, 7 October 2006 (CDT)

This has got to be one fo the most uncreative skill names.--Life Infusion 20:46, 28 September 2006 (CDT)
 * It's not like Anet were very creative in the first place. I think during the Factions preview event Assassin's only shadow stepping skill was called..."Shadow Step". >> Trace 19:50, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
 * The was shadow of haste, and there were more than 1 werent there? I remember using AoD on a mantis CoP A/Mo! &mdash; Skuld 06:56, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Shadow of haste was orrigionally called "Shadow Step", and it was the only one availabile in the first event. Detraya talk  04:31, 11 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Actually, they also had a 2 second cast AoD, which was featured on the E/A fire stepper. --68.106.220.201 00:11, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

Does this trigger itself when it ends? (Not a fifty five 10:52, 1 December 2006 (CST))
 * Yes Riotgear 03:24, 21 December 2006 (CST)

Anyone found a use for this? If i go for a fire/water combination, i rather prefer Immolate or something alike, its just quicker and better than this. Elemantal Flame is IMO most useless ele skill out there. --Ineluki 16:42, 8 December 2006 (CST)


 * *cough* Lava Arrows *COUGH* --Gimmethegepgun 22:23, 14 December 2006 (CST)
 * *cough* read the skill again *COUGH* Shido 22:48, 14 December 2006 (CST)


 * No, it was *cough* at the worst ele skill, not on usage --Gimmethegepgun 14:52, 15 December 2006 (CST)

Mark of Rodgort ¬.¬ &mdash; Skuld 08:26, 22 December 2006 (CST)


 * Lasts far too long for it to be effective with this. Or do you mean Mark of Rodgort > this? --Gimmethegepgun 23:31, 3 January 2007 (CST)

 * It works decently with a Fire/Water build. Elemental Flame -> Shatterstone -> Freezing Gust -> Steam works pretty well. Maybe that's just me, though. 149.169.109.224 15:44, 15 January 2007 (CST)
 * Just you :p &mdash; Skuld 15:52, 15 January 2007 (CST)
 * It does not suck to me. Can be used for covering hex for Water/Fire ele since it is spammable. Greenery 12:25, 12 February 2007 (CST)
 * Water Magic line has better spammable hexes that actually do something >< Entropy 23:20, 15 February 2007 (CST)

I'll make my own suggestion: make the length of time it stays around fixed to 5 seconds (or bring it down to a fixed 3 seconds). That way it can be a quick 5 energy 42 damage burn... *cough*


 * That sounds like Immolate, but in hex form. Nice. :) Entropy 12:02, 15 February 2007 (CST)

It would also be more viable for performing a black spider strike as an assassin with it. -- JadeWarrior 13:42, 10 February 2007 (CST)


 * For a case like that, a sin would use Mark instead and use a fire weapon to get some extra Burning damage --Gimmethegepgun 12:30, 22 February 2007 (CST)


 * Ye, the only difference would be the energy investment vs longevity. I think the most realistic improvement to this skill would be just add some +damage in addition to the burning. That damage would have to be majorly weak though, to prevent "degenerate" elementalist damage teams, to keep in the theme of GW. -- JadeWarrior 00:13, 27 February 2007 (CST)


 * The only time ive seen this was in a HOH team. One necro used the Recurring Soul Barbs build and another Ele used this skill plus a lot of cheap, easy ele hexes Plus, they had a mez who was spamming wastrels demise and wastrels worry and other hexes.. It actually generated a pretty good spike considering the dervish getting targeted had 2 conditions and 9 hexes on. (BTW the dervish took 35 installments of soul barbs and died in like 2 seconds.) It has pvp capability, but for Pve, PFFT!!! --Spcypnts

I don't see what's so bad with this skill? It's like an Ele's cover-hex or used in conjunction with Freezing Gust :P I use it with Freezing Gust + Shatterstone -- Ruby Red 16:52, 22 May 2007 (CDT)


 * I could see many more uses for this skill if it were in the Energy Storage attribute. --Reddog500 7:25, 29 August 2007 (CDT)

Mind Freeze
Hypothetically, how does this skill work with mind freeze on a target that doesn't get the snare hex part of mind freeze.
