What 's really noticeable with Wizard's Twister change

[Oblivion-1520]

This is only my opinion, however the following should happen with Firebird:

• The damage buff should be changed to affect only Fire attacks instead of being a global buff

(If the igniting mechanic is to stay then):

• The Damage buff and Damage reduction should no longer be tied to the number of enemies ignited, or tied to having an elite enemy ignited.
• Igniting enemies shouldn’t require more than one fire spell (seriously we already juggle enough with Tal-Rasha)

Something akin to this (if we’re talking about a simplification rather than a revamp):

@Oblivion-1520

Firebird’s Finery (proposed simplification) :

• 2 piece bonus :
  • When you die, a meteor falls from the sky and revives you. This effect has a 60 second cooldown.
• 4 piece bonus :
  • Dealing Fire damage with one of your skills causes the enemies to take 1500% weapon damage as Fire per second for 3 seconds. This effect can repeat an additional time. If an enemy is attacked with a Fire skill while burning, the enemy will become ignite, taking 3000% weapon damage per second until they die.
• 6 piece bonus :
  • Attacking with a Fire skill reduces the amount of damage you take by 60% for 6 seconds. Igniting an enemy or attacking an ignited enemy with a Fire skill increases your Fire damage by 12000% for 6 seconds.

This proposition eliminates the following:

• Needing to ignite an elite and drag them around in order to maintain buffs.
• Damage and damage reduction buffs being tied to unreliable factors, that can be lost instantly if ignited enemy is slain.
• Needing to juggle multiple fire spells just to ignite an enemy.

and as a result imho creates a less clunky and horrendous playstyle.
