Greater Conflagration question... can't find it anywhere. >_<

'kay. Ten to one most people'll think I want to know what happens if you put up Winter and Conflagration at the same time. I don't... Winter over-rides the flame conversion. GuildWiki! xD

...what I DO want to know is why Greater Conflagration is an Elite skill, while Winter is not. They do essentially the same thing. Rangers have armor that defends against cold and fire both. So why the distinction? GC changes physical damage to elemental damage, which Ranger's have natural resistance to. Winter merely changes all elemental damage to water. So really the ranger isn't getting as much benefit from it as he would from GC, except in the case the the Ranger is using Fur Armor. So GC gives you +30 - +45 armor vs physical. Where winter gives, at best, +15 armor vs elemental damage.

^Simply pointless. I thought the same.

There's gonna be a factions skills that only converts arrows to Fire and won't take up an elite slot.

Conflagration I think it's called. Surely thats just Kindle Arrows dumbed down?

Surely thats just Kindle Arrows dumbed down? It's in spirit form rather than prep form. Can't really call that dumbed down; it's just useful in a different situation.

It's in spirit form rather than prep form. Can't really call that dumbed down; it's just useful in a different situation. Like in GvG, Ranger launches Conflagration spirit, Mo/Me puts up stance Mantra of Flame, Arrow damage is reduced 45%, Mo/Me survives ranger spike.

Conflagration and Greater Conflagration don't deal any additional damage, they just convert physical damage to fire damage. Kindle Arrows adds fire damage on top of the physical damage from your arrows. Or rather, it should according to the skill description. In reality, however, it adds extra fire damage on top of also converting your arrow's physical damage to fire damage.

^Simply pointless. thats not pointles

if there is coming a new non elite skill that makes youre arrow fire dmg i will gladly take it and then equip winter this will be perfect against any fire based armor creature in cantha

^You could just use an Icy mod for the same effect, and save yourself two skill slots. For yourself sure, but if you want to help out the rest of the team, you need the slots.

I have gone back through fire islands before and the warriors didn't have an elemental weapon to take advantage of winter. So you bring g.conf + winter and now everyone is benefitting. Sure you have less slots, but that's rarely a problem for a ranger.

Surely thats just Kindle Arrows dumbed down? The Forgerunner FTW!
