Can we finally have flare buff?

Sinolai

This skill is supposed to be the detection skill to protect objectives and defend but it only works in offensive situation, where magelight already performs 10x better. This is only good if you play in a bigger group against a multiple Nightblades and you dedicate your life to spam this skill.

Suggestions:
1. Make Linger Flare prevent enemies turning invisible when they stand on the area. Currently this skill only takes effect if you HIT STEALTHED enemy with it or IF STEALTHED enemy ENTERS the flare. Enemies standing on the flare can still turn invisible, enemies entering it while visible, and enemies hit by flare when not stealthed can still turn invisible.
2. Improve Scorching Flare travel time. Vampire Nightblades get a speed boosts when they cloack and hitting them with flare is difficult. Most StamBlades also do a dodgeroll before sneaking, giving them even greater speed boost and and Vampire Magblades with concealed weapon are even able to sneak out of your cast range before the first flare hits the ground, making this skill a terrible revealing skill.

Nightblades are getting huge nerfs right now and you want to buff flare?

Don’t expect a lot of support ... especially when this idea isn’t planned for this current PTS cycle.

(It’s an idea better discussed in Combat & Character Mechanics forums ... not PTS.)

TheNightflame

I support it

Hmm, yes. This might be wrong section for this. But depending on your class, useful skills to uncloak nightblades are very limited and Flare is not among them no matter what class you play, even though it is clearly meant to be uncloaking tool (that is really the only thing base morph does). The buffs I suggest are not very drastic either.
3 sec incap silence and extra regen is a huge buff actually (yes, I know. That change is not going to stay) Furthermore, most reliable anti-incap skill also got a nerf. Light's Champion no longer gives major protection.

i wish lingering flare was just a ground dot.

Sinolai

Yeah, even that would be better than the current version.

What game are you playing?

It should be way more closer to a magicka Caltrop, it's unfortunately far from it.

Does anyone know a NB who got ever caught by Flare?

They could just make the AOE bigger pretty easily.

I agree with making the aoe larger and land faster. Although, landing faster may be enough.

Mind as well buff the detection of Expert Hunter. On that aspect the skill is dreadfull.
