Love fatal been using it off and on since E3 and never really thought it needed a buff in the first place...
Just dodge it.
also buff melee

don’t u out gear everyone by afking in mines/dungeons day 1 to get full arc gear or smth
id prolly be saying the same thing if all my shit was top tier ultra/uniques lol
Day 1? lol Okay, I mean yeah I got good gear and such but I don't see how that has anything to do with it. IM just saying in gerneral fatal a bit overpowered atm and thats me as a fatal user not only using it but observing it aswell.
YOu gotta admit 10-12k dmg as a basic is rather insane.

Prebuff the numbers are
14 initial + 6 bleed for a total of 20sd
Post buff is
18 initial + 4 bleed for a total of 22sd
Fatal had the damage regardless, just not front loaded. Landing fatal didn't become easier. The spell doesn't move faster. Nor did it get a cooldown decrease. You're just allowed to actually benefit from a crit on the front loaded damage in a large way. If fatal was really overtuned, we'd see more armed magi but......
You know how that goes.

Flameslide desperately needs a nerf
There's no reason it should chunk a quarter of my damn health when it's both a mobility option AND easier to land than a beam to begin with. If anything in fire needed a buff it was fireball, or overheat. Flameslide was amazing even BEFORE the buff.

also, its easy to dodge flame slide if u can use space dash.

lol

I am aware of the numbers of before and after but front loading it as such wasnt really needed + at 22 sd it does more dmg than most masters as a basic

RE: Spell Balance Suggestions - ACuriousGrey - 11-27-2022

As a flame slide enthusiast, it's pretty hard to land if you're fighting an opponent with half a braincell, and given the amount of points you need to put into useless Fire basics to gain access to it.. Plasma looks so much better in comparison! Strike. Overcharge. Tesla. Plasma Leap. For like 10 less RPP you gain 4 spells that do what you say Flame Slide can do, and more.

Useless fire basics are a separate issue entirely (that needs solving, #justiceforfireball), but subtrees aren't '10 less rpp'. You have to buy the attunement first, so you're still paying 50 total to get into it anyways. I have jab and even plasma leap, but if I use either of them to jump past flameslide, it still hits me anyways. 16 SD is such an insane amount of damage to give a move with fire ticks on top of that.
RE: Spell Balance Suggestions - DanteriusAvius - 11-27-2022
It’s been said on numerous occasions that one should look at an entire tree when determining balance for that tree. The existence of “bad” (although I have contention with any auto-hit slow needing buffs except maybe mind fray) basics needed to get intermediates is absolutely related.
Flameslide also is not easy to hit unless you have something like pyro or whip setup but if we’ve learned anything it’s that GCDE stuns are more the problem in that, than the existence of high damage, difficult to hit, spells.
