Skills and Attributes

• Combat Discipline - will increase the damage of this combat art and lower its regeneration time if it is placed in a combo.

• Damage Lore - will improve the chance, duration, and strength of the Burning secondary damage effects triggered by Fire Blast's Fire damage.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

• Intelligence will increase its damage and spell intensity.

• Stamina will lower regeneration time.

Usage Strategies

• Fire Blasts are a bit like living traps. They spawn (roughly) where you target and then seek out nearby enemies to damage.

• The duration never increases but the regeneration time can be brought quite low with Concentration, Traps Focus, Stamina, and other sources of Regeneration Time -X%. This can allow for several traps active at once, compounding the damage significantly.

• The debuff from Helpless silver mod stacks each time the opponent is damaged, but has diminishing returns so will never reduce the opponent's attributes to "0".

• The chance for burn will reach 70% at max CA level 200. With the Combust mod the chance will scale much quicker, reaching 100% by CA level 150.
