"Fire Golem explosion damage?"
| |
I was playing single player trying to figure out the damage that fire golem does when it dies or gets recast. I am going to need to try it in harder difficulties because everything died in 1 hit from it except bosses. I thought its hp had something to do with it, but it didnt really look different at no golem mastery and 20 golem mastery. I tried it on a lot of enemies in act1 hell, none that had fire resistence so it would be accurate. It took about 1/4th a gargantuan beasts life each hit, about 2/3 of a dark hunter and about half of a skeleton. My numbers are all approximates but it seems like they should be close. None of these monsters have resist to fire so i didnt have to factor resist in. I used the max and min life of the monsters(got stats from chaos sanctuary)and found out was was doing an average of about 176 damage to everything around it. I am pretty sure the radius of the blast is 5 yards. Its in between 4 and 6 , it could be like 4.9 or something but its around 5. Now, this wasnt a very thorough test. Took me about an hour, and i am still not sure about the damage. Im am almost positive the hp of the golem or the golems level doesnt matter though. I was thinking of creating a Nukeromancer, using this as my main attack. Looking at this though, it wouldnt be worth it i dont think. Having a starting mana cost of 50 and going up very high, it seems like it is weaker than bone spear against groups, and definately seems weaker than spirit for single enemies. So if anyone has more information about this i would appreciate it.

They might be able to kill monsters with the sheer force of Sirian's head exploding... God may not play dice with the universe, but I'd sure like to give it a shot. -Jester |

Someone did pVp tests, and determined that it should be doing about 100 fire and 100 physical to monsters. Extra points in GM or in FG didn't change this. If you want to build a "nukeromancer" I would suggest in the XPack getting a wand with FG on it and not investing any skill points in it, just so you could control the mana cost and still wear a bunch of +skills items. Just a thought.

I was quite sad to find this out and hope it is fixed in the expansion.
