nerf SH

I believe that SH needs to be nerfed more. 5 energy, 2 casting time, and 25 second recharge and the effect with damage stacking overtime for each second in effect, that could wipe out the enemy entirely (or worse when playing with H/H wiped your party entirely due to stupid AI). I'm not saying the great damage stacking should go, I think that it's more reasonable if the cost was like 25 energy or increased casting time (the recharge is quite reasonable for a nuking spell).

BTW, SH equals Savannah Heat

It's fine as it is. Flag h/h out of the AoE, it now does 0 damage. If you can't handle it with h/h, play with humans. A skill isn't going to be nerfed because some people find it powerful in PvE.

This skill isn't so powerful it all...plus, it is an elite

Or more, you should have our monk use PS, with Healing Seed and Healing Ribbing can counter the damage fairly well. Hit that ele with the Asuran Reversal damage pve-only skill, you don't die, and they die.

apparently, when combined with deep freeze and use SH on foes, these guys would be shredded meat by then.

booo no leave sh alone it's fine as it is :P

at 15 fire magic this skill does roughly 280 dmg if you stand in it for it's entire length

ranger - heal as one heals for 113~121 thats almost half the damage gone right there and also they have 100AL vrs elemental dmg
Monks- SoR,ZB, WoH
Eles- Mystic Regen should help
Sins- take a back up healer with you like a rit
Rit- Spirit Light, MBaS

all you need to do is run out of AoE...

probelm is that henchies and heroes don't do that (of course I could separate my heroes and henchies out but henchies would cluster together.

.....no.

People have won PvE easy before with H/H.
As if PvE isn't easy enough.
Flag out of AoE and it's easy.

Guess what, you can flag your heroes out of AoE! I do it vs. Flameshielders when I see them casting Meteor Shower. They finish the cast, and I flag them away. Bam, no death!

SH is a great elite, and does not need to be changed.

I don't flag my heroes out and they don't die.

I think it's more related to pvp that he get pwns by it.

No it's not over powered. Just walk out of it, and take hex removal.

Seeing as he's talking about h/h, I don't think so.

Don't complain about SH being overpowered when you're playing H/H Spiritway

Yea, it should be more than 5 energy, maybe 15 max. Or leave it at 5 and cause Exhaustion.

Why are ppl asking for nerfs all of a sudden when most whine about it.I would say if you have problem with the AI using this on you get Melonni and use [skill]Vow of Silence[/skill]this will stop it.

SH is one of the best Fire Elites in the game..

Learn to flag and you'll be fine.

Use the H/H flag. It works. I H/H all the time, and I've yet to have a party wipe from SH. Not even close. SF is more dangerous, IMO. SF is still easy to counter, too.

[skill]Broad Head Arrow[/skill] and [skill]Power Block[/skill], say hello.

Bring Ward against Harm, Mantra of Flame, or Elemental Resistance. What damage? Heck with Mantra of Flame I would be running _into_ the aoe.

Move that way (<--) or that way (-->) about 10 feet.

SH is probably the best elite of any profession I have encountered. It is very easy to avoid as the target, but it packs one heck of a punch if you use it wisely as the caster.

Poor AI works both ways. Have your pre-protted tank take aggro without anyone in his circle, then charge in. SH on one person is trivial to prot.

Edit: Damage is done 15 times over full course of SH. 15*20(base damage at level 15 fire) = 300.
