Flameblast

For the Vaal-themed counterpart, see Vaal Flameblast.

Flameblast is a channeling fire spell that builds up an explosion.

Skill Functions and Interactions

• Stages: Flameblast deals more damage at each stage, starting from the second. This mean it does base damage at the 1st stage, then base damage multiplied by 110% at the second stage, and so on, resulting in 990% more damage at the last stage.

• Cast speed: At base cast speed it takes 2 seconds to reach the maximum stage. Increasing the cast speed reduces the time to reach the next stage, similar to how Incinerate works.

• Curses: The blast detonates ~0.5sec after releasing the key, giving the player enough time to cast a curse like Flammability or try to Shock, however this will only boost the damage of burn if targets get ignited because the blast goes off before the curse or shock stacks. Moving will set off the blast earlier.

• Traps, Mines, Triggers: The skill can't be cast by conditional trigger gems such as and . It also can't be linked to or unless also linked to a totem.

• Totems: When linked to , the totem doesn't stop channeling at 10 stacks. The player has to resummon the totem or let it die/expire (or kill it's target?) to release the AoE. can be used to decrease the duration of the totem so that it automatically expires when 10 stacks are reached.

• Spell Echo: Flameblast cannot be supported with .

Version history

Version	Changes
2.1.0	Damage has been increased by around 20% at all levels.
2.0.0	Now grants 1% increased damage per 1% quality (quality no longer affects ignite chance). No longer works with Spell Echo. Base Cast Speed has been increased from a cast time of 300ms to 200ms to compensate for no longer working with Spell Echo.
1.3.1b	Reduced the damage of Flameblast by 20%.
1.2.0	We have reduced the critical strike chance from 6% to 5%. We have reduced the damage by 15% at all levels.
1.1.1	Fixed a problem where Flameblast was accidentally buffed heavily in 1.1.0. Based on feedback on the insane version, we then buffed the pre-1.1.0 version by 48% on purpose in this patch.
1.0.4	Flameblast has been added to the game.
