Change dot on flamesingle1 so that it stops after 1 incap, change it on flamesingle2 so it stops after 2. I mean i love doing it to other ppl but ive been killed jus as someone got up from incap and hit me with it before.

If you incap someone once with the Flame Dot the fight should be over (unless they are TKA and use Force of Will)...If they can live to get up your doing something wrong!!!! So on that idea, your proposed changes need some altering...


If the Commando is DB'd the Flame Dot (no matter which dot) should stop. As long as the Commando lives during a fight the Dot should last it's normal length and incap if possible. If the Duel is ended by both parties the Dot should also stop. It's no fun to kill a commando and after that get incap'd by the Dot...doesn't make much ingame sense (we are not talking RW physics ok).


There are 4 main reasons why the Fire Dot should not ever be compared to other Dots in the game...so don't expect it to act the same way or along the same lines...


1) There is a natural way to put out the Fire Dot...water...do other Dots have a natural way to put them out (do you rub against a tree to fix a Bleed)?


2) Flame Dots can only be applied at 16m or less...how many other Dots have such a significant range restriction? Don't want a Flame Dot, keep outside the range.


3) The Accuracy sucks early on in the Commando Flame Tree...As a Novice Pistoleer I can hit /healthshot1 and /healthshot2 just about every time...not the same at Novice Commando...how many other Dots have such poor accuracy at lower level?


4) The Delay...how many other Dot Specials have as long of delays inbetween specials as the Fire Dot does?


Yes...other Dot's have kits to put them out...Our Dot should have something as well...FlameOut, which is made by Master Chef's should be changed to put out our dot...there, that's the kit...no other option needed (and no, it doesn't currently put out a Fire Dot). No macros to put out our Dot (as seen in another post)...that's just silly...is there a Macro in battle to fix a bleed? is there a Macro in battle to remove poison? Meditation works, but that has to be done outside of battle.


In otherwords...with power and privilege comes serious restrictions...Add to this resists that may come into effect against us soon AND the idea of giving folks a type of kit to put out a Flame Dot and you actually start seeing the Flame Dot as possibly being considered pretty weak down the road as is....


It's absolutely ridiculous when people say the Flame Dot should work like every other Dot...it's not EVERY other Dot...And in most cases it's our best chance of actually pulling off a victory...How many other professions are pretty much solely dependent on one set of specials for a Dot to win the majority of their battles? Or do they have other options...


No...The Dot is fine...if it can win the battle for you...GREAT!!! If you lose, that's the only time the Dot should be lifted before it's natural time frame has expired.

azarken, thats going into my sig!




'Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefor, it has no boundaries.'
'But why is Fantasia dying then?'
'Because people have begun to loose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the nothing grows stronger. It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.'
'But why?'
'Because people who have no hopes are easy to control. And whoever has control has the power'
