So know this skill is bad but i have been trying to get the unique wand for it. endless helltides for 1h weps, all murmurings spent on wands and nothing. has anyone got one to drop? if so how is it?
Yea 1 dropped for me yesterday around ilvl 789 in a Tier 35 rift. I’m trying to make an incinerate build around it, but so far its looking bleak my bro
ah ok. at least it drops. yeah the skill needs some love.
i got this 4 days ago. didnt mind making a build for it at all. lmao
Incinerate is bad all the way.
- doesnt work with Fire bolt enchantment
- didint see it working with Frost Bolt enchantment
- has VERY low Lucky hit Chance, so with 5% for fire wall and 8% for Meteor its not reliable
- Its damage is weak, it needs to hit like 4+ enemies to be on par with Chain Lightning, while you have to stand still and get hit
- its mana consumption makes it bad to play with mastery spells
- Single target damage is one of the worst, killing last standing elites or bosses is a pain.
- This isnt confirmed, but since incinerate doesnt trigger “direct hit” enchantments, it seems its not direct hit ability, but instead it applies a DOT - which yes, you can see enemies taking damage even after ending the cast. Now from what i heared/read DOTs cant overpower and cant crit ? So yeah, you can throw away mastery passives.
- It takes mana in advance, cancelling channeling feels like it costs mana and puts you on Cooldown.
- Heroic ability interrupts channeling, forcing you to enter some kind of global cooldown. Its better to manualy cancel channel, cast heroic and than start incinerating.
- casting lvl 1 meteor during heroic “no mana cost” deals more damage than lvl 5 incinerate.
I see no redeeming Incinerate, even buffing it by 50% will still make it weak withot doing direct damage and synergizing with other abiltiies/passives/enchantments.
