Plus, for the time being you can still run around god mode using normal Igni three-shotting any mob in the game apparently but, even if/when that too is scaled back in damage output, a sign build is and will still be viable. The main purpose of firestream is to deal with shield users, because the continous burn makes them permanently drop shields. If your planning on using rend, the charge attack from strong attack skill tree, then don't bother with Firestream. Damage output of Firestream is still fine and deadly. ago Depends what combat skills you have in that build. So I did indeed have abilities nerfed that I had been using since launch and I still applaud the new changes as it makes for a more balanced and enjoyable game.įurthermore, as proved by my post, this change does not force you to play some other build now. I only did other builds simply to test them out. To your third point, I find it ironic because I myself have played as a pure sign build 90% of the time since release. But the nerf to firestream in 1.07 is so bad that in a pure sign build it does less damage than my melee would. Look, I won't say that firestream wasn't maybe a bit overpowered. Don't invest 3 points into firestream anymore. So your points #1 and #2 are acknowledge, but refuted. This video I made shows just how sad firestream is now.

The fact that it is not as useful as regular Igni is indeed currently true, but clearly normal Igni damage needs to be scaled back just as much for comparable damage. The Borderlands 3 Limbo mod by RedxYeti removes all color and detail from the. The current damage output of Firestream is fine and rather balanced.

IMHO I think it's clear that Igni damage is more than fine like this.Īu contraire, I believe you're missing my point. That means someone could do the same thing as I just did but swap those Yrden runes with 7 Igni runes for another +70% Igni sign intensity. So please elaborate on how this spell now useless? Even against a monster that doesn't get stunned while he's burning, Firestream can't be blocked/parried and clearly deals plenty of damage post 1.07.įurthermore, this isn't even the highest Igni damage you can get as all my current armor runes increase my Yrden sign intensity.

Cyclops died in merely 2 full stamina bars worth of Firestream and no other damage. Puppet is also decent at focusing a group's attention on their own ally. However firestream basically guarantees the proc, and it's great for managing crowds. For someone not going a full sign build like myself, the burning effect isn't as likely to proc. Wearing full set of Mastercrafted Griffin Gear, Superior Petri's Philter, and max lvl runes. Even after the igni nerf, I still think firestream is useful.

My char is lvl 36 on Blood and Broken Bones difficulty. Then they nerfed Igni, and then they nerfed Yrden. I liked the sign build on my first playthrough it offered a high risk/high reward scenario thanks to Geralt basically being a glass cannon with it. I wanted to help put the argument into perspective for those claiming Firestream is now useless. ago The sign builds have been, in general, pretty terribly fucked over by all the patches.
