This Is The WORST New Weapon In Halls Of Torment

[@renvien8826]

Flamestrike is by far the highest dps weapon currently using it on exterminator, just build max charge speed, burn and charge multilier. Double all charge speeds, take also all movement speed upgrades and skip all attack speed items and upgrades With flamestrike as only weapon Map 3 agony 129max level, ~300M damage

[@oOPriestOo]

Thx i will test it. So far my pr is around lvl 105 on archer with lvl 3 agony on new mep

[@ES-qm5hr]

Get a weapon with critical hits, bump up the damage and critical hit bonus on the Flamestrike, and then charge it up. It is powerful, and you can one hit mini bosses, plus do big damage to main bosses every time it is charged. It's hopeless before reaching full charge, and without having its critical hit bonus maxed.

[@terribletimmy2]

Is this in the beta branch?

[@ZeroX252]

Not trying to nitpick just giving info: - The weapon is fixed to melee range. Range upgrades don't seem to apply to it in the traditional sense. - Area does nothing until you have one of the two upgrades to the weapon, as the weapon itself is single target. - The weapon seems to ignore actual crit chance. If you allow it to charge *at all* it will be a guaranteed crit. If it does not have a chance to charge it will be guaranteed to not crit - Charge multiplier increases the amount that charging multiplies the damage - Charge duration shortens how long it takes to get a full charge - Attack speed decreases the amount of time between attacks (this is why you were getting so many attacks on the new class - he has really high melee attack speed modifiers) - Multistrike seems to increase the number of targets that can be hit, but I cannot confirm this, it may also just be that multistrike gives it additional attacks and that due to the movement of the player and enemies it seems to be attacking more than one but is really just attacking different targets as they come into range in rapid succession. As far as scaling this weapon well: - Ignore the crit damage and crit damage multipliers. They are bait. Ignore critical strike chance as well. The weapon already does enough damage when charged with no additional modifiers to kill most enemies in one hit, with exception to bosses.The only way these can be useful is if you take all of them and then only use the weapon to one-shot bosses. Even then it's abysmal overall damage and dps. - Attack speed and flat percentage damage modifiers do the most for the weapon, because the weapon will not be critting when in melee range of enemies since it won't have time to charge. - The charge duration traits could be worth taking, but I have not tried. The problem is the weapon will not start charging until you *leave* melee range of *all* enemies. So if there is a swarm of enemies in melee range it will never charge. It's better to just stack attack speed and damage IMHO. - Once you've got the two traits unlocked, you have to start considering the burn damage as well - the weapon is going to apply a LOT of burn. To a LOT of enemies. In the run I did trying to maximize the output of the weapon, Flame Strike was doing ~18K DPS on it's own, but I was also doing ~15k Burn DPS.

[@ZeroX252]

Also they changed the fire ring - wearing it is a downgrade for exterminator now - it fixes the main weapon to a flat 15% burn chance. Kinda sad.

[@jaeusa160]

@21:35 I'd be shocked if the Frost Avalanche didn't perform very well. It may suck against bosses, but for swarms it is crazy good.

[@suzukiegi5699]

Exterminator is my go to for grinding bottles and items right now. Once his per hit gets to about 80 or 90 coupled with his crazy attack speed not much stands up to you after that. With appropriate traits his dps can go over 1000 very easily. Crank burn chance and damage to be able to just light them up and walk away, add firestrike, meteor and transfiction upgrade to burn down hoards. The dot works very well as long as you think ahead and stay moving. End level bosses remain an issue but good movement is as far as I can tell the best way to deal with bosses with any character.

[@sskgccult]

Here you are again, brightening my and my wife's life with your cheery voice and incredible laugh you have. It's the best laugh in the world 😂😂

[@MisterAtoss]

The red bar on skill is it's charge - not cooldown unlike in other skills. You wanna charge it up and then get closer to the enemy that you wanna burst, meanwhile cleaning the trash mobs with other skills.

[@Rodg88]

Does the AOE upgrade completely stop the weapon doing the single target hit damage? Converting it all into the the flame stacks applied in the area? Seems like that upgrade would really mess with the damage readout on the end screen, since it just purely applies fire dot damage instead. If you used a non fire weapon as main, you could see how much the weapon + fire damage combined was to see how good it was really.

[@arthena2130]

That is what makes it hard to unlock all the upgrades to. Since normally you take ticket but for this it is bad, since it just does burn damage then.

[@asaadb1]

i played flame strike shield maiden - it was broken. you stack burn so fast - you abuse the fact that it will proc at like 30 attacks/s on for min damage, but even that ticks has chance to apply burn. you could try a high defense (not block) build with shield maiden and the gloves that do 3 times crit when u get hit, your previous video inspired me to try it out :)

[@Ranks0]

Your criticism is valid, but i think that this weapon is meant to be a boss killer. If you let it charge to the max and get close to a boss, he gets hit for a LOT of damage. Also, theres the "deadly" modifiers which improves its crit damage through the roof. This weapon is not meant to clear a whole screen of enemies by itself, except for its ability upgrade that makes everyone burn, which is really good imo. Its better than lightining strike, when paired with another ability. Lastly, that boss seems like a huge counter to this skill, since he never lets your fully stack it, he keeps geting close to us.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Shield Maiden running through with maximized block let’s you really experience what the hell Flame Strike is doing. Turn off auto attack and only shield bash is happening. Even that does more damage than a maximized Flame Strike. I doubled all the attack speed traits for Flame Strike and saved shield maiden block to get multiple traits of same Reid. Eg: Get both IV traits for block value. Flame Strike would be vastly improved by making it a onion or reddish shaped plume.

[@megadeth116]

The legends say that the lame strike has an upgrade that make it roll every so often if you catch my drift

[@Zadarros]

is the Agony mode like "endless mode" ? if yes, how to get this mode ?

[@tailspyro]

It's not. It's a mode that makes the game harder. The more enemies you kill, more enemies spawn with more damage and health. The game ends when you kill the 30 minute boss.

[@Zadarros]

@@SrCookie69 aah, thanks for the answer and the detailed description. Btw. is the beta mode on steam the actual version that get updates ? or is it just a test phase to put it in the other version ? ( hope u know what i mean ^^ )

[@Trout_Nemesis]

Go cleric focusing on On Hit Chance. Flame ring. And pick up garlic focusing on size and hit frequency. And don't focus on attack speed with the flame strike. Focus on reducing charge time and bigger crits. And also pick up the needle ability for crit unlocks. Also the duelist necklace is actually better for leveling in agony. Also the red necklace that heals off of damage dealt is actually good in agony. Probably the best health recovery I'm agony. Standing still is really hard in agony so more defense or other utility is better than damage. I'd go with the crit damage ring if you're going with bigger flame strike explosions.

[@Trout_Nemesis]

But also the creator has said that flame strike is not meant for high volume damage. It does well at applying burn and single target massive crits.

[@Trout_Nemesis]

Just did a shield maiden on 1st map with agony. She is probably the strongest with flame strike. Full clear the screen if anything gets close. Massive crits like over 200k. So much damage that the screen stutters when the attack procs.

[@arthena2130]

as is anti synergistic with charge speed. Since the slower it attacks, the more time it has to build between attacks. Going as makes charge speed terrible. Also, the weapon got a huge buff on the new patch.

[@MrTiny85]

Guten Tag. Ich kan kein Englisch. Tut mir leid. Bin neu hier. der Kanal ist gut. Der Mensch der da zockt benutzt das Ding zwischen den Ohren. Immer weiter so. Fals das hier gelesen wird. Kennst du das Spiel Disfigure? Ist gratis und würde zu dem Vampire survival Thema passen.

[@wiltmarlonelao]

Flame strike isn’t so bad. If you always keep close to your opponent, then yeah, it’s not gonna do much. But if you charge it up then approach a single target, it can oftentimes one shot minis. It works very well with shield maiden, especially with the huge crit boosts. In fact, I’ve managed to make it deal over 100k in a single hit without too much optimization. You just need to change your play style a bit.

[@Goldkalb]

what is the agony mode, how does it work and how do you unlock it?

[@LoliShepherd]

I think the charge multiplier means it takes longer to charge since it has more damage the longer charges

[@AzsuraX]

Flamestrike absolutely melts bosses/elites if charged. It's overpowered as hell.

[@arctile8041]

I read the title, then saw you picked the Exterminator... I can already hear you complaining about the new weapon... It says all in its description - trigger with melee range! - the Exterminator doesn't have melee attacks and therefore is mostly out of range for that ability.... well... let's see if I'm right...

[@Xarith93]

agreed. flame strike is absolutely BUSTED for characters like shield maiden, norseman, and swordsman. let it fully charge, run up to an elite/boss, and take 50% of their hp in one hit. pair it with thornfists, and you can just run into them with a fully charged flame strike, and instant kill them when you let them hit you. he also avoided attack speed upgrades for flame strike which is very good. you can spend less time avoiding enemies to charge it up, and be able to deal more damage to bosses / elites faster. it deals around 4.2k to 5.5k damage fully charged with NO Upgrades at level 1 to a single target. it's insane.

[@NysSamuel]

​@@Xarith93but that means the charging is useless

[@Xarith93]

how so? the damage increases with charge. and you only have to avoid damage for a short time when letting it charge, then once you have emberfall upgrade, it causes a huge AOE burn with pretty high base burn damage, can be useful even without +area or fire affinity upgrades.

[@P-G-77]

I find in certain cases are so huge amount of monsters, shots, things on screen that all slow... if not the game end like say "Vulkan error etc..." i find the fire weapon very fun and very DEVASTATING... the sorceress i find "i think" have lower power confronted to flame... but this is my personal view... considering the number of personalization of Halls Of Torment probably I WRONG CERTAIN PHASES using sorceress...

[@42Chrome]

Flame strike is the BEST weapon on any charachter stack burn chance range and area double up "Flow" use memory on charge multiplier, easy agony five every time

[@selasco]

at 31:04 you can see one crit dmg (2036)

[@certainlynotmalo1.0.0]

Man, i was just about to comment the same. The picture is paused at my laptop right now.😅 Good catch! Edit: 31:57 also has a crit. 4391 dmg i think. Shouldn't it crit way more often then?

[@vioyotube6725]

Stop taking attack speed. Use the huge Crit Damage and Charge multiplyer. Even if you never go over 1 charge that one is multiplied. Go atk speed on exterminator and burn chance. and you really need to exchange the bonus on standing still equipment for something better. You stood still like 45seconds. There are much better items suiting your playstyle.

[@Paul_Ehlers]

Only finished the main game now. Gonna play the Beta tomorrow. Seems like a good laugh.. I just miss explainers on everything. If that is added, then it will be an Epic game. Now, it is just brilliant. :-)

[@amitmiz1957]

how come your whole screen is diffrent from mine? mine is the exact opposite side. i see the items and menu on the left, while yours is on the right??

[@Wombatantify]

try a burn build with fragile! the burn does a lot more

[@Xarith93]

your invincible shield maiden build but add flame strike to it and actively try to avoid enemies until flame strike is fully charged is very powerful. clears elites very fast if you're able to separate them from the horde of enemies. also very good to use charm of confidence, since you'll often be surrounded by massive hordes. flame strike also pairs VERY well with a high defense build and the Thornfist gloves. absolutely delete elites and bosses.

[@philippe2121]

How to play agony mode ?

[@SB-qm5wg]

What does it mean on gear "can't be recovered"?

[@RichardK.Maxwell]

There is an NPC in the game that, once you rescue him, it places a well on the map where you can place items you don't have to be Recovered. When you go to camp, you can then purchase them from the vendor there and equip them on your character. Can't be Recovered, means you can only use that item while on that specific map run and you cannot put it in the well to be recovered.

[@madrob16]

Hi. How do you get Agony game mode?

[@arthena2130]

You need to play on the beta which you can enable in the settings for the game on steam, and then you need to have defeated the boss of that level to unlock it.

[@madrob16]

Perfect thanks @@arthena2130

[@demonsbreath5329]

Maybe its only me, but in the description it says MELEE. A flamethrower is not a melee weaon ( only when it has no fuel ;o) I tried it with the melee guys and it worked awesome. With the cleric i had the same result as you. Maybe it is a attack for the melee chars only? And its still beta and they change it in the future. Who knows.
