Sure Agny is great dont get me wrong, but now let’s take a look here:
Adds +50% attack when using the following skills
Fireball, Fire Wall, Flare, Fire Pillar, Hell Breath, Flame Ground, Meteor, Incineration, Prominence
- Fireball - One time AoE skill that’ll tick that one time on each of them
- Firewall - Procs multpile times but can be a bit annoying to use
- Flame ground - Won’t work on flying mobs to proc this
- Flare - Needs either fireball, or flame ground to proc this, also one time proc of it
- Fire Pillar - Nice delivery of that damage, but long CD
- Hell Breath - Nice delivery of that damage, but long CD
You could very well just use flame ground->Flare for it flame ground proccing it every tick, or fireball->Flare and still get it.
Fireball+Agny was INSANE before because Fireball gained another hit every level AND it scaled up damage per level, so going from level 5->6 was like going from 5x damage->6x damage AND the difference in multiplier, it was GREAT sustained damage. Now it’s a one hit, 2OH skill, is it still good with Agny? Sure. Is it as good as it was before? Nowhere near.
Is it as good as Enchant Fire? Usually not.
My PyroLinkerEnchanter isn’t particularly well equipped 2595 MAtk 339 INT
Enchant Fire: +465 +259
That’ll be to each hit and as another instance of proccing blessing.
There’s also the Fire Resistance Debuff it adds on. (Fireball adds Burn though if you take it, so it’s about even)
Fireballs really lost a lot of impact in being able to push them around, link them in towards things, etc
I’d have to attack a few times to equal a fireball sure, with the full enhance attribute that would eb +496%->+546%, with Agny that would be another 50% to +596%. It gets good, don’t get me wrong, but Enchant Fire is better for parties. When you have a much better weapon probably that MATK scaling over INT scaling really comes into play.
Fireball is a good catchall skill still, but such a farcry from where it was before.
Flare is 730%, 830% with Agny+Enhance, 3OH and much longer CD than fireball though.
Really you could go with almost anything in the fireball tree, firewall is probably still the best to proc agny if that’s what you’re looking for, but most people are bad at placing them quick.
