Dark Flare

TheStankTank
Are there any Magplars out there that run Dark Flare on their bar? We've all seen and used Jesus Beam, but I rarely/never see any other templars spamming Angel Bombs. Why is that?

    Faction Lock contradicts the One-Tamriel concept.
    Please do NOT keep it in the game.

    Depends on your playstyle.

    I stay ranged and provide support with it. Works well with an ice staff build keeping enemies locked down.

    My destro bar is:

    Dark Flare
    Total dark
    Destructive reach or Aurora javelin
    Elemental blockade
    Purifying light
    Ult: Soul Assault or empowering sweep

    I run dark flare in open world and in duels. It provides strong burst damage and major defile is an amazing debuff. It needs to be run in conjunction with another spammable, probably jabs.

    I run it from time to time. I hate that it lost its 20% damage buff from empower without any compensation to its damage. It's made me really sour on the skill since i know what it was truly balanced to be.

    The skill has its moments, but gets dodged/run out off/just lost and so on way too often thanks to the absurd travel time, especially in laggy environments ( i.e. always in Cyro ) Pretty much nobody using it despite the powerful debuff should tell you something. If it doesn't land, it doesn't debuff. Damage isn't that great for a cast time ability either after losing the empower.

    It has a ton of hard counters.

    Unless something has drastically changed it still debuffs if someone dodges it. The Debuff is an AOE effect and has been undodgeable for quite some time now.

    It's been changed a while back now.

    I don't like skills that I can accidently oneshot myself with if somebody moves and there's a DK behind them. And also cast time.
