Effect
A Fiery weapon upgrade provides the following bonus to the weapon (the user respectively):
- Converts physical damage to fire damage.
Notes
Fiery weapons do more damage against enemies using skills like Physical Resistance. Adding this to a weapon however, makes your attacks weaker if your enemies are using skills like Elemental Resistance, Mantra of Flame, or Ward Against Harm.
Fiery weapon upgrades are often useful in conjunction with Elementalist skills like Conjure Flame and Mark of Rodgort.
Note that Greater Conflagration does the same effect to your as well as your ally's weapons.
The most famous Fiery weapon in the game is the Fiery Dragon Sword with the animated flame blade, as used for example by Prince Rurik.
