View Full Version : Breath of the Tyrant
At the moment i'm using My blaze upgrade and ice spike(adept 1) as my two nuking spells. The other night i dinged 21 and got breath of the tyrant. My question is this, is it worth it to upgrade breath of the tyrant even though ball of flame is only a level or two away? I'm guessing when i get BoF my two main nuke spells will be BoF and the upgraded blaze, so the breath of the tyrant upgrade was just a waste of money. Any thoughts?
<DIV>Its a great and fast spell I would upgrade it as quick as you can.</DIV>

<DIV>I find that the damage on BoT adept 1 vs Blaze adept 1 is regularly about 60 or so damage more (talking like 160 v 100~), of course BoF outstrips both these by large margins even at the apprentice3 stage, it has a retimer of 12seconds, so I find myself using BoF whenever i can, and while its recharging nuking with BoT/Blaze. I burn through mana, but thats not usually too much trouble in a competent group...</DIV>

<DIV>You will be usinng BoT well into your 30s. I am 34 and it hits for 200 to 240 damage regularly when I use it while I am waiting for BoF to recharge you do no have anything that will get close for a long while. Would be a good idea to upgrade it now. I have the adept 1 version btw. </DIV>

I'm 28, I still use it, with the sequence :[debuff if necessary]BOFireBOTTBLAZE (well, now it is prismatic pulse, blaze is grey)BOTT[cani]and repeat. All adept 1. ..But i did not upgrade BOF to adept3, I'm still with adept 1 that i payed 2.5 gold as soon as I got it.I found one rare, but I prefered selling it, and try to have more money to be able to buy an adept3 BOFlame when I'll be 37 (and if they fix the 37+ problem...)

Once I got Plasmatic Pulse, I stopped using Blaze, but BoT is one of my main nukes. Before I took out blaze, I alternated between blaze and bot until BoF repops. I never used Ice Spike because I never had it upgraded passed app3. But yeah, BoT is one of my key spells.

Im 25 at the mo and stopped using Blaze - taken it out of my hotbar.Cos I took the Blaze upgrade training spell (Frostfire someting, cant remember the name) and it does about 30-50% more damage than Blaze which is at Adept III and cons green to me.Main nuke is BoF, then alternate between BoTT/Train.spell and maintaining DoTs in between <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><p>Message Edited by Graffix_75 on <span class=date_text>01-17-2005</span> <span class=time_text>12:25 AM</span>

<DIV>Well, I'm lvl 24 and have gradualy started using BoT more and more.</DIV> <DIV>I still use my blaze spell though... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Three scenarios</DIV> <DIV>Soloing:</DIV> <DIV>Use my Ball of Fire to pull him, then use my Frozen Chakles to root him and then start casting BoT and Blaze one after another... You burn through your mana supplies that way, but otherwise you'll surely get killed <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Grouped:</DIV> <DIV>I only use my BoF and master strike spells when the encounter's health is cut in half. At any other point, I use my BoT.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Adds:</DIV> <DIV>When I'm in a group and we get adds I root the add with my menacles and use both blaze and BoT on the other encounter.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
