Protoflame/Protoferno

[Sepharo]

<p>What kind of damage is the pet supposed to do when he dies?  Supposedly he does AE damage but whenever I loose him against mobs he gets his a** kicked and dies.  No damage, no sign of resistance.  Is this spell broken?  I got the impression reading the spell the pet was kinda like a bomb, but nothing like that has happened.  It seems about as worthless as wizzie mez <img src="/smilies/2e207fad049d4d292f60607f80f05768.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

He does explode in a PBAOE protofreno at master 1 normally hits for 1-1.5k when he explodes it should be recorded in your logs, but I can not remember what it says.

[Fingle]

I believe it's called Protoferno's Fiery End.

[Sepharo]

Does anyone use this spell on a regular basis while soloing?  Can you confirm it is still working (at least in terms of the end explosion)?

<p>It takes 45seconds for protoferno to explode and during that time it would be attacking the mob and breaking the root most likely.</p><p>I use to use both the pet alot when soloing. . I would iceshield then ro.. then proto... back in the day ro would hold agro also. I would use rending icicles and then deagro..  the mob would pop on the proto for a few secs and allow me to get some relax time to cast another spell without being beat on.</p><p>When soloing i dont think i ever let it last 45 secs... and when rooting i would kill it my self.. But it should be easy enuf to test... </p>

<p>I cast it as a dot in effect on longer fights in groups, like nameds.</p><p>When soloing, I have sometimes used it as a tank (is true lol). When a quest requires me to kill a heroic group of mobs, I use an encounter root to trap them, single root another, drop proto on another. Then nuke one of the remainder down fast. That way By the time I get mobbed, 1 mob is dead, 1 is double rooted, and proto is tanking the last, which he can do when its only one of a group as each individual mob is fairly weak. For a while anyway but a while is all I need.</p>

<p>2 cp</p><p>I use it constantly (Protoferno Master II) in groups/raids</p><p>I use it solo against dispersed heroic mob groups to gather them all in one place so I can successfully root them all (I also use Concussive immediately after Protoferno)</p><p>He can tank as well (and he taunts and debuffs - he has two abilities which you can encounter when you read combat logs - Theorem and the other one I cannot remember at the moment)</p><p>I use it in PVP because he can interrupt pretty well (on casters).</p><p>And Protoferno's Fiery End works every time he got killed by a mob (he vanishes after 45 sec without any AOE effect, read spell description carefully)</p>

The explosion is not a pbae, it is on target encounter.

[tass]

so is this protoferno worth it to buy it as a master 1? I mean is it gonna be 1 of those spells that does alot of dmg and is used all the time? I just found it in master 1 and am wondering if I should keep it and get another spell for my master 2 choice or sell it if its worthless and can be used for cash.

[Dramadon]

Protoferno is one of your master spell choices at.... 64(??) I think. It's really the best option out of the four spells available. Take the Master II

[slippery]

Any of the other 3 could arguably be a better Master 2 choice depending on what you are doing.

[suroktheslayer5]

I picked Glacial Winds for my Master 2, I think it provides an overall greater dps boost than the other choices. It's also good to have a strong aoe attack.

[Avokk]

At 64 : any raid wizard will prolly agree that Frigid Gift is the "best" option Iceshield is a good one also if you already have Glacial Wind M1, or vice versa.

I picked GW totally unrelated side-note.... If I am fighting the lvl 2 challege, I'll purposely lose.

[JohnDoe058]

<p>Does he get extra abilities between Master I and II?  Or just more dmg/HP?</p>

[SacDaddy420]

the booms a little bigger and he hits a lil harder. it aint that much more. Master 1 pet does ~100 DPS if it runs it's course and lands most swings
