Inferno/ Sea of Flames/ Flames of oblivion

I'm back to try out the game after some month away from a burnout of the game.
I play a NB and a DK.

I feel that since this is the last ability you get in one of the skill lines it deserves a new thread and attention.

When it comes to my DK, I was annoyed to see that the Fifth supposedly greatest ability in one of the skill lines, Sea of Flames, still is still the same, utterly useless.

Sea of Flames is a very small AoE dot. It drains mana each second. The dot gives mana back if the dot is responsible for the killing blow. Since the damage is extremely small this rarely happens.

What the skill text does not mention is that it actually also stops mana regeneration!

So we still have a 5th line ability that is still useless after the game has been out several month. Very disappointing.

I'm not going to suggest how it should be changed, that's been done before and nothing has happened. Zenimax themselves should be competent enough for this. I simply want this ability to be an option and balanced.

Note: I've seen people complain about resurrecting old threads thus I created a new one.

    To be changed into a Magelight type ability that shoots fireballs at nearby enemies in 1.6

    Confirmed in the last ESO Live.

    You're welcome :smile:

    Uh, Magelight reveals hidden enemies and gives spell crit chance boost to my knowledge.

    As long as it becomes a balanced ability that can be of interest in some builds, I'll be happy.

    'Magelight type'

    He means that it is changing into orbiting sphere like magelight that will fire fireballs. Not the crit and reveal. I would recommend looking at the proposed changes for 1.6, as they are changing up a lot of things.
    This one has an eloquent and well thought out response to tha... Ooh sweetroll!

    I thought he was pulling my leg because to me it sounded strange and like an ability meant for sourcs, but I guess we'll in due time get to see it.

    I always find it kinda funny that people say 'for sorcs' as if the sorc class was designed to be the best caster, instead of the summoner class with weapon supplementary abilities that is clearly it's design focus as per the ES archetype it's based on.

    Oh well, 'what's in a name?' ammiright?

    Well, it's not about eso. It's about fireballs usually has to do with wizards and sorcs, not warriors. But yes eso is a bit different.

    They're making inferno a self toggled buff that will increase your spell critical strike chance and will occasionally deal fire damage to nearby enemies. It will be an alternative to magelight for caster dks.
