Immolation Arrow

Key details

• Creatures passing through the flames take additional damage.
• Casting Delay: 0.6 seconds
• Enchants an arrow or bolt by adding explosive fire damage to it and increasing its Attack Rating.
• Fire damage is added to the projectile's damage.
• Upon impact with any target or surface, the projectile explodes across 2.6 yard radius - enough to strike several monsters in a tight cluster - dealing the projectile's full fire damage to every foe in the area.
• Persistent flames will then be applied to floor all tiles in the affected area, dealing damage to any foe located on that tile each frame for 99 frames, or approximately 4 seconds.
• Consistent with the description above, Arrows and Bolts that benefit from other sources of fire damage - be it from a Ruby, Ral, Enchant, or Holy Fire - will pass that damage along to the explosion caused by this skill.
• This skill is somewhat much like the Sorceress' Firewall.
• If you can keep a monster in the same place (by attacking your Decoy or Valkyrie), you may find this skill to be effective.
• This might be an choice when facing Stone Skin Unique Monsters as well.
• The Pierce skill and Piercing Attack attribute can allow this skill to generate multiple explosions with a single arrow.
• This can be devastating to tightly-packed groups of targets.
• While the skill's initial explosion does not call for this skill to pass the projectile's To-Hit check, a projectile can only Pierce if the To-Hit check is successful.
• When the To-Hit check is unsuccessful, the projectile will appear to continue travelling and causing additional explosions, but these "phantom" explosions, and the projectile itself, will deal no damage.
