View Full Version : Fire magic: Calefaction

Calefaction is a signature debuff ability of fire magic, which in addition to dealing fire damage has the following special effect:


Target takes 20% more damage from direct Fire attacks for 60 seconds.

Since the cooldown is only 12 seconds, I became to think if this effect:

stacks with itself (multiplicatively, or additively);
boosts fire damage from all sources (eg base damage, bonus damage, DOT);
boosts the damage of other players' fire damage.


Are there any fire mages that could shed some light into the mechanics of this?

12 seconds for a fire mage means almost sure death with the amount of rage and taunt fire magic generates. Plus this only works on a single target making all your AOE abilities not get the DMG bonus. MAYBE is gear gave it a cooldown bonus or AOE effect. Currently it feels really weak as does most of the fire magic.
