  • Just gonna drop some fireballs… * Melee characters whack fireball away from everything * oh…
    • Tank pulling 1 or 2 at a time * Hmm… do I use my big spells on 1 or 2 enemies or wait for a swarm pull? … swarm pull isn’t happening… oh well.
  • Finally tons of enemies grouped up together! Time to cast everything and watch them burn! * Someone levels up and knocks them all out of my circles/firewalls/fireballs * FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

The leveling up thing is kinda annoying. And why melee characters can play baseball with your fireballs is beyond me. But it really wasn’t as exciting as I had hoped it would have been >_>

I think that melee shouldn’t be able to hit fireballs at the very least, the leveling up thing I guess is just whatever.

cool story bro …

#3

sorry about that =/ that what i had been dealing with since icbt2 all way to lv 183… at least flame ground is still coming out strong =p till you get to flying targets…

#4

So the fireball thing isn’t a glitch and it’s intended gameplay? lol well that’s kinda stupid. I literally stopped putting fireballs down oh well.

#5

if you get a decent group, you will drop fireballs again. good melees even take the fireballs along into new groups :slight_smile:

at party missions i had ppl waiting for the fireballs to play golf with.

Yeah. Those developers can’t see the problem and just do an attribute like: “Now just you can hit your fireballs”…

That’s the problem in this game. Nothing is well planned.

But, if you want to really play… I just have one truth to tell you. Reroll your character. >.<

In the meantime, put Fireballs opposite the melee people.

you have a melee option as well, -if- you’re using a staff. (C on keyboard, Y-button on xbox controller, find it yourself if you use some other heathen control method~ lol)… for some reason, it’s not an option if you use rod/shield. might (should?) work if you have a dagger equipped. don’t own an arde myself, so can’t say for sure.

just keep knocking your fireballs back into play. yes it’s annoying, i play a pyro too.

as for the level-up burst… well, that you’re just going to have to get used to.

lol, i love doing this. i actually find fireball golf/ fireball soccer to be a somewhat hilarious aspect of the game.

That one time when I put up a fire ball and I was playing hot potato with a player. That was fun lol

Sadly this is poor design combined with players who don’t pay attention to others spells and effects. Kinda like the tank who for some reason doesn’t want to allow bosses to stay on flame ground fire pillar and other stationary aoes. Or the players who see spiritual link and think its physical link.

I feel your pain dude. I put my full support linker on hold cause most people wont allow me to use spiritual link plus umbilical cord. When I call them out on it they say but player linking is bad we just take more damage. Not realizing their glass cannon mostly Int wizard now has a ton of Con and other stats.

Some players don’t seem to understand that in dungeons/missions and pretty much all content late game requires teamwork.

i don’t really think it’s poor design. i think it’s an interesting mechanic.

now this on the other hand, just so true.

now for fireballs, there’s only so much that can be done. if they’re trying to melee the boss, and you put your fireball in range of their melee, they’re going to smack it. just a given.

but dragging mobs off AoE’s, or not listening to the caster when he tells you “that isn’t the effect i’m using”… ugh, come on people.

lol it’s funny cuz I ran another dungeon earlier and we get to boss, I just throw every spell down after the tank taunts and starts meleeing it… tank decides to move and boss follows him off of my stationary spells.

I’m just standing there watching it all go to waste, crying lol.

#13

dumb tank is dumb.

nothing we can do about that, sadly.

#14

The only thing that i don’t like is when I’m setting fireballs on a target and some random bot comes and smacks it, sometimes stealing the kill as well. Pisses me off to no ends.

As a tank I can say people don’t really know how the game works, it’s not the class, it is the person behind the screen. Whenever I’m matched with Pyro/AnyOtherClassWithAoE I try to get the mobs into his/her spells, and if I accidentally hit one of their fire balls, most of the times I try to relocate it again.
People like that are capping the DPS of the run, but oh well, maybe they don’t know how your class work, like some cleric don’t spam heal even if you don’t need it in that moment
