Yesterday i brought Conflagration with me in B/P team in tombs for doing extra dmg and test this new skill.Our orders noticed thet OoV doesn't work while conflagration spirit is up and we aren't gaining any health stealing from foes, so wanted to ask is this possible bug or i'm missing something here ?!

So our orders was useless with this spirit.. does OoP or OoV do more dmg than Conflagration in tombs ?

Well, it depends are there any enemies which are weak against fire. Those receive double fire damage. At least enemy warriors are weaker against elemental damage than physical anyway. Order of Pain does armor ignoring damage and Order of Vampire does life stealing.

Conflagration affects only arrows which hit. So if you are only arrow shooter on your team, then Conflagration does not disable Order of Pain from others, just from you.

I'd say the Orders deal more damage then the fire damage from Conflagration. I don't think the creatures in Tombs are weak to fire, Terrorwebs aren't anyways ...

You may be true but there is no comparison between numbers of Terrorweb Dryders (fire ele class) in all 4 lvls with Grasps (warrior class)..that's why i thought that coflagration is nice spirit to take..but since it's conflicting with orders job..i don't know really which skill will be more efficient for the B/P team.

TBH, I doubt anything in the TotPK is weak against Fire, so Orders are better than Conflagration.
I've yet to find a good use for that skill as well, only thing I can think of is a place where there are loads of Rangers and you wearing Drakescale armor, then you not using a bow to not trigger the elemental resistance they have as well...

BTW you have just reminded me with another thing about this spirit it may be useful for..MM..it seems that coflagration counts the ranged dmg from fiends as arrows, our MM had flesh golem and some bone horrors as minion wall and the rest was fiends, they were firing fire arrows like us..

since minions doesn't count as party members and +dmg from OoV/OoP doesn't work with them while conflagration work with fiends...i guess output dmg from Barragers + MM with fiends more than they use orders....right ?!

Bringing conflag would most definately reduce your damage output. I'm pretty sure no monstershave a weakness to fire damage there. Also OoP and OoV add damage indefinately, like it was said before they both only work when your damage is physical. And yes spirits work on minions while party targetting skills dont. Though I'm not sure how usefull it would be for them as well. The spirits that normal b/p carries like FW and winnow were boosting them, not the conflag. I hope this clears up things a bit for you. :]

Damage done with OoV + OoP > Damage from flaming rangers and fiends

Also, who wants to have bone fiends as protection? They make the worst blocking tanks of all the minions. That's why I only bring Flesh Golem, Bone Horrors and Vampiric Horrors.
