Fire Blast is a magic-type rangedweapon which allows the player to channel a stream of fire that pierces through enemies and burns them. Deals critical hits against targets covered in oil.
Requires 0.26 seconds of wind-up before the Fire Blast begins and prevents player action for 0.25 seconds after the player stops channeling the torrent.
Flames pierce through enemies and set the ground on fire, causing enemies caught in the flames to be inflicted with stacks of burning that deal 10 base DPS for 2 seconds.
Enemies can only be inflicted with burning stacks from either the the Fire Blast or the fire pools created by the torrent once every 0.38 seconds.
Fire Blast deals 1.5x damage to oiled targets (223 base critical damage).
In-game DPS includes charge as well as fire ticks over a period of 5 seconds, raw DPS (without ramp-up) is 100 (150).
Affixes such as "+80% damage to a poisoned target" and Point Blank mutation apply to the weapon's direct damage as well as the burning statuses it directly inflicts but do not apply to the fire pools it creates on the ground.
Other damage boosting mutations such as Tranquility and Support however, increase the damage of all burning statuses, including the ones inflicted from the fire pools on the ground.
The damage dealt by burning statuses inflicted from Fire Blast's fire pools is not reduced when it is used from backpack via Acrobatipack.
