Can we just make firestorm baseline for evokers

like it seems you want evokers to be able to play firestorm, just make it baseline and then make option to upgrade it and then it can be in rotation like dragonrage,firebreath, shattering star, eterinity surge, firestorm , then go ham with essence bursts on pyres and give us a option to do the 9 pyre causes a free firestorm . no one wants to spend points to get firestorm when it makes us lose a huge amount of dmg and then we have to worry if the tank will even keep the mobs in a firestorm like come on man do the evoker devs even play evoker or just theory craft some dumb talent setup and then put it in the game until they realize its straight up doo doo and then back to the drawing board or what

and i got a 2500 io evoker i just cant find the option to change my main character as the poster like can u make that easiar to find also or what

n/m i found it

Personally, remove it, it’s not needed, I feel like Devastation flows so well now with Shattering Star + Arcane Vigor, it feels great to play.

^^^ This. I have no interest in using a spell that feels as terrible as the current iteration and requires the tank not to move to get full value.

If they changed it to make it behave like ravager and maybe slowly chase my current target, I’d probably feel a bit differently.

even if that was baseline i will never use it in pvp, in pve maybe but that spell does no damage at all to be viable

What do you mean by this? Aug only gets one extra cleave projectile on living flame over devoker if you’re referencing Pupil of Alexstraza.

Yeah I mean that’s probably not even going to be the meta talent there vs echoing strike which is currently proving EB even on the echoes.

Would make more sense as a deva talent either way, but seems very weak in most situations considering Aug doesn’t get burnout.

IF they made it instant like destro’s rain of fire it would be nice. I thinka neat interact would be have it whirl out like plds upgraded divine storm and leave a dot that can be bursted off by firebreath or something. Which would make AOE more engaging for devistation besides spamming pyre

Definitely feels much better this patch, though I really wish they would make SS’s baseline duration 6 seconds. 4 feels terrible.

how long the debuff lasts doesn’t really change the feel of the spec at all

It doesn’t change the flow of the spec but it just feels bad as an individual spell now. It feels like it’s an on-demand EB charge CD instead of a damage amp CD.

It’s different though. With focusing iris you pooled abilities for the window.

Now, you always SS on cooldown and use the free EB if gives you on the disintegrate or a pyre.

I wouldn’t say no to more duration but the goal of the spell is different now and I don’t really mind.
