Lingering Flames tick rate got buffed to be doubled more than 2 years ago and it’s like the one really shitty balance choice still hurting the game IMO. Can we please bring it back to normal again? 1x tick rate instead of 2x.

Numbers are measured using Lingering Flames at 650 power w/ Enhanced Power + 10% power. Tick rate has a random variance of -25%/+25%. Armour Types Burning DOT Source vs Monster Damage Per Second Damage Per Tick Avg. Ticks Per Second Fire walk (default) 9 6.75 1.33 Conflagration staff M2 …

Holy crap man! I was thinking of making a video demonstration on a rat ogre, never used spawning mod before, but you’re much more committed to giving all your free time to us. I commend you. It sure would be nice if Fatshark simply laid all the stats bare for us to see, instead of having to test eve…

Thank you. Though I feel like a dumbass for the fact that I didn’t think to measure the tick rate until after I finished measuring the DPS against everything. I could’ve saved a bunch of time & effort if I thought of doing that earlier.

First of all Thank you very much!, So it seams to be the high tickrate for flamethrower which makes it busted, because the 1,75 damage per tick vs armor would be initself fine, but the tickrate makes it still stronger than fireball staff etc. I am curious if it is truly bugged or an imbalanced featu…

[image] Max93: Overall i think tickrate should be for every staff the same and only damage per tick should vary. Seems easier to balance and there you can pay attention as developer to each staff by its own. High tick rate makes a staff’s potential DPS output difficult to predict when you’re …

A 1.5x tick rate would at least be better than the current iteration that kind of just invalidates famished flames almost entirely save for the boss damage on beam staff. This isn’t really related to the talents’ power levels, but rather the staves’ design. If you think about Lingering and Famis…

Yea you’re right in that staff design can influence how they’re used with the talents, along with the differing burn profiles for each burn source. Some burns only have 1-2 ticks that last for a second which makes stacking burn far less viable compared to Beam/Coru/FireSword. If burn stacks had a l…

Here are my results for how long it takes to kill a full 4000 HP Rat Ogre with different attack loops on Firesword and Dagger: Dagger famished heavy 1 = 133s Dagger famished heavy 1 heavy 2 = 99s Dagger lingering heavy 1 heavy 2 = 181s Dagger lingering heavy 1 lightattacks = 157s Firesword lin…

I’m not against buffing Famished Flames, and Battle Wizard dealing mainly DOT AOE makes her damage scale better against larger amounts of enemies, so it’s harder to nerf her, but Lingering Flames is pretty OP; it’s 200% fire damage for the price of not being able to stack it. I wouldn’t say it’s “b…

Please Fatshark I neeed this nerf, my famished flames is kinda homeless when lingering flames exists as it is
I’ve also made a full updated spreadsheet for all sources of lingering DPS against everything in the game. Passive DPS by not interacting with enemies should not be this high!
