Scorch, what do you feel now?
So its been a while since scorch got changed, what do you feel about it now that you have battle tested it (or not) ? I'm really thinking of dropping it out next time I respec, or at least had been thinking about it until today, I rarely use scorch anymore, it was nice and the little bits of extra dmg were fun.
Now if in a group the mob doesnt last long enough for me to cast much more than 2 scorches and a fireblast (so only one scorch and the fireblast get any boost) on a bit higher end elites of the group maybe 3 scorches and a fireball, but I dont feel it is pulling its weight in the talent build, I mean 5 points could do lots of things.
But today I had a revelation, running an instance, just having fun, on the boss I tossed up 5 scorches and then a combusted pyro.... See that warm feeling is what I really liked... Now while its nice and it makes me smile, I ended up doing most of my dmg AEing groups of mobs, and Scorch was only cast about 40ish times vs a few (4) hundred fireballs... I dont know if its just ME that is casting it wrong, that if I cast scorch more often it would end up evening out as a boost in dmg or if its just a talent bliz killed off (except for the huge crits)?
As a side note has anyone else who still has it done this in pvp? Hit target from long range with 5 scorches in a row, blinking and frosting them as nececarry, then sheep them, combust pyro them? Its a good bit of work but it can draw grins.
Anyway what do you guys think of scorch as it is now?
