And I gotta say that I won't be skipping it anymore. This thing is addictive.
Firestorm cooldownless abuse has to be one of the cheapest and most ostentatious things to do on this game, particularly on Zone 5/5.
Why has no one ever told me Firestorm is this good?

Never really used it either. How do you get the no cooldowns?

Probably by timing it with the...'Flashfire(?)' perk that allows you to cast your next spell with no cooldowns after a critical hit (and it can go off once every ten seconds, iirc). And yeah, I could see where knocking out that 60sec cooldown could get fairly entertaining. Especially once you get Death Siphon because then things are pretty much flattened, dead, or running around on fire (dying) and giving you free mana to continue spam-casting Firestorm. Sounds like a good time...for a lobby I'm not in because I would ctd like nobody's business! XD

Because you were too busy hating it when you thought it caused key glitch.

I wish we had an option to switch off those...marvelous fire effects on the remote side. I can't stress enough how much I hate the firestorm, the most annoying visuals ever, especially for a melee unit.

Y'all can be hipsters all you want and refuse to use certain abilities on certain classes, but that's just dumb.

 

Experiment with all the abilities and use the ones you like.

I really like firestorm. I'm always pleased to see team mates use it.

 

People can hate the screen shakes and visuals, but in the end of the day it still helps more than causes harm.

Ever played mass effect mp? One of my favorite set ups was flamer Vorcha Sentinel with Venom and grenade capacity -> **** others, I'm having fun.

I've played MPE3MP, and none of the effects (especially in vanilla) was even remotely as annoying.

Yeah, the very reason I try to avoid ele-s by all means possible. DPS output is not the only thing that matters in the party-based game.

Playing infiltrator near Shockwave spammer was far more irritating.

ME did screen shake on a much higher level.  DAMP has nothing on it.

DAMP was designed as much more cooperative game. In ME3MP I can play my own game (far away from screenshakers) even on Platinum. DAMP is dungeon crawling game, teammates (at least cooperative teammates) should operate together. Firestorm is crowd control ability which means that it should be useful for entire team. But as Archer I can't see targets inside and behing active zone (only target markers) so can't prioritize targets, can't "lining" them for effective longshots. As a melee character I constantly loose orientation inside active zone. Almost all Elementalist I have seen start FS and then just spam autoattack because they are don't see anything too.

 

Wall of Fire is not much better, especially on night maps.

IMO, firestorm-spamming elementalists should have their own dedicated server and should not be allowed to join public games where are other characters trying to play the game in a meaningful unobstructed manner. They can play with themselves in their own servers as much as they want. That would actually speed them up and allow for more willpower promotions in a shorter time. An occasional arcane warrior mercenary can be allowed to join but only one per game and only if he wishes so. Just in case to ensure speed running goes more smoothly.

 

Disclaimer: Sorry to sound negative, has nothing to do with people who spam firestorm. I blame Bioware for very annoying visuals. It could have been less obtrusive.

I still have not tried it, perhaps I will if I do more soloing.  It's a fantastic ability but I also dislike it if I am playing a melee class.  I can't see or target shi*!

You guys are nuts. As an Archer, I love when the Elementalist uses Firestorm or the Keeper uses Static Cage or etc. Lots of juicy, CC'd targets that aren't attacking me and are gonna get Long Shot'd.

 

Same thing goes for Katari, Reaver, and so forth. Basically any time you have a bunch of targets CC'd in a small area, someone is going to go ham on them.

Not my cup of tea, I find it very annoying when i'm playing a warrior class and someone uses firestorm

It is less annoying just because you can run some distance away. In DAI, there is nowhere to go.

I actually spec´ed it out on my last build. It´s great power, but it´s very loud :D And so far, non firestorm build is fun as well, so I´ll try to stick to it for now.
