Flameblast is a channeling fire spell that builds up an explosion. Releasing or fully channeling the spell will create the explosion.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Stages: Flameblast deals more damage at each stage, starting from the second. This means it does base damage at the 1st stage, then 100% plus 165% with hits at the second stage, and so on, resulting in 1485% more Spell Damage modifier at the last stage, or 15.85x base damage with hits, and 540% more damage with ailments at the last stage, or 6.4x ailment damage.
  • Cast speed: At base cast speed it takes 2 seconds to reach the maximum stage. Increasing the cast speed reduces the time to reach the next stage, similar to how Incinerate works.
  • Curses: The blast detonates ~0.5sec after releasing the key, giving the player enough time to cast a curse like Flammability or try to Shock, however this will only boost the damage of burn if targets get ignited because the blast goes off before the curse or shock stacks. Moving will set off the blast earlier.
  • Traps, Mines, and Triggers: The skill can't be cast by conditional trigger gems such as Cast when Damage Taken Support and Cast On Critical Strike Support. It also can't be linked to Trap Support or Blastchain Mine Support unless also linked to a totem.
  • Totems: When linked to Spell Totem Support, the totem stops channeling automatically at max stacks. Letting the totem die or expire will also release the blast.
  • Notes: Flameblast cannot be supported with Spell Cascade Support or Spell Echo Support.
