Temporarily encircles you in a searing ring of flames that will burn nearby enemies.Д¤.0 Second(s) Recharge, 11 Active Energy Cost/Second, 3.3 Meter Radius, 57 Fire Damage What's more is if you boost the fire damage by 100%, The energy/sec drain continues to scale.

While Ring of Flame and its supplamentary ability provides only a moderate fire damage, reduced armor, a small % to reduced offensive ability, and negligable physical damage for 16 energy/sec Trance of Wrath provides great offensive ability with damage over time, reducing enemy resitances, and skill disrution all for 1 energy/secДeathchill Aura and its supplamentary abilites provides excellent defense, utility and supplamentary damage by slowing the enemies total speed, reduced % current hp/sec, reduced damage and armor as well as reducing enemy resistances all for 3 energy/sec Ring Flames sister abilities Trance of Wrath, and Deathchill Aura both provide great benefits without having any significant detriment. Which makes you weaker in melee due to poorer defenses, which again makes Ring of Flame a bad idea. If you try to boost its damage to a comperable level to make any difference in epic/legendary you are forced to devote more of your equipment to energy regeneration, in some cases out right giving up on the heavier armors of the warrior clases in favor of robes and circlets to futher help your poor energy consumption. As you start to try to boost the damage, you also enhance the energy loss making any hybrid character fundamentally unable to use this ability in the long term due to constant micromanagement and horrible design. It was meant to be a supplamentary ability to help you incase enemies got close as a mage, or if you chose to hybrid, enhance your melee capabilities.ДЄt the moment, Ring of Flame is useful only in the first few hours of the game, as the damage it deals will quickly fall off. Ring of Flame was not made with this micromanagement in mind. This is currently, the only ability in the game with this issue.Дark Covenant has a similar detriment in that it forces you to micromanage your use of the ability with the expected gains that it gives, namely, energy/sec and damage boost. With the changes made to the ability, specifically the energy/second, it prevents many character from properly utilizing the damage buff that was given to the ability as any benefit you gain from boosting the damage output of ring of flame quickly becomes lost due to tedious micromangement of your energy pool. In the past, RoF never dealt significant enough damage past normal difficulty to warrant making a build around it, but it was still fun to do for those auramancer builds - Conjurer, Evoker, Diviner - and even gave a somewhat respectable damage on epic difficulty if you dedicated yourself enough.

While that may not seem like a big deal, not many mages are able to use Ring of Flame proactively as it requires them to be in melee range of an attacker, something no mage should want. The only toons able to utilize such an ability - with its overzealous energy consumption - are mages.

It was changed from an incremental flat energy/second ability into a % Energy/Second based upon the damage dealth from the ability. I've not seen many, if anyone complain about the changes made to Ring of Flame during the AE patch. First let me apologize as this is going to be a cluster of thoughts on the subject and organizing/formating on Steam is difficult for me to accomplish so I'll forgo it in favor of simply getting my thoughts out.
