Firestorm needs to be REMOVED from Guildwars

The skill is completely useless and reaks havoc in any party, just yesterday i went monking The Deep every single group i was in (11 Total) failed because the idiot ele used firestorm breaking aggro and killing us all. Not only did the eles use firestorm they brought breath of fire! i hope they do something about AoE's or just plain remove that shit from the game.

Skills like Fire Storm and Mending are in the game for a reason. They are stepping stone skills, and people need to learn on their own why they are bad (in most cases).

I always at least smile when I see a W/E with firestorm. It's not as cliche as mending, and it's a lot funnier (and a lot more useless).

So, keep it in the game plz to keep other players entertained when they run into one in RA, AvA, or even tombs.

If you let somebody on your team bring fire storm to the deep then you deserve to lose.

I somewhat agree on this, I don't think they should be removed from the game, but at least be NERFED. Who the hell's gonna pay 15 energy for a spell that takes time to cast, and does only 15 damage thanks to the AoE effect...

The AoE effect is kind of good, I guess, since monsters would be too easy to kill otherwise, but with the AoE effect, AoE spells are just useless, and most of the time they are annoying or in the way.

Strongly Disagree

Since the AOE change the use of it's changed greatly.

I find if in a party, aggro control gets broken, casting it with the mob next to you or on you party's monk is a great way to get heat off for a short bit. (This is after aggro is broken).

I've also found some mobs (not many) if focused on tank will not break aggro and also with Factions and tight area's, there times you can usually use it as it was intended. It just a skill that went from general use that can be used if your are careful.

Sorry sometimes you need to break agro in PvE and Firestorm as well as other AoE spells are very good in this use. I’m sorry to hear you had a bad Elementalist in your group. Don't blame the skill blame the caster. BTW a monster in retreat is a monster not doing damage.

A warrior might chase after the fleeing monster, however, and that can lead to major chaos.....

I don't think it should be removed entirely, but it should definetly be removed from henchies.

it's fine if you use a snare.

No, don' Delet Firestorm, it's a DEFENSIVE skill, no offensive.

If the mobs are on you, on the casters, You cast FS on yourself (enemy closest) And they leave you.

Just because you don't like it it should be removed? Sorry, that's very arrogant of you.

I don't like getting hammered by SS in the RA, it's my own fault I know, but I don't want it removed from the game because of that.

I dont use firestorm anylonger (since the nerf), but like breath of fire---the amount of damage it does is over before the enemy moves---and it works wonders when you want to get the agro OFF you!
It has its uses.....but the casters need to know WHEN those times are.

And this is the Elementalists fault how? Seems to me this only happens with C-Space Whammos. Get a real tank.

thats the thing eles i run into dont know when to use it they just cast it right away and i had skilled check every one in my team before entering the deep they sayed they dident have fs but they used it in game -_-

why waste 3 secs or so of casting and 15 energy just to get a monster away from you instead of just running???

these skills shouldnt be removed! hell no! who am i gonna laugh at?!!!

no jokes, but i like AoE nurf because its just more challenging now, and i get to "save" monks and Rits spirits, by attaking their "offenders" with AoE. trigger Headless chicken effect so they leave the poor monkey alone

it just should be removed from henchies, and for defensive issues, i'd rather lava font

yesterday i did dragons lair as a nuker and the leader forgot to kick orion... talk about wasting 25e every time a mob scattered

Bingo. This is an excellent PvE "oh crap, the warrior lost aggro" spell to get the baddies off me and the monks in the back row.

It's not the skill, or skills, it's you!!!

I have used firestorm, breath of fire and many other AoE's with great success, it's just that you have to know how to use them, and have to know what skills are best for every situation.

I respect your opinion, but do not destroy the game for everyone else just because the situation did not go your way. Grow up and try again!!

hows it my fault im monking the deep and all the carps come and kill me because of a ele using firestorm? go to the deep and use that crap you will be kicked instantly
