    I've actually seen the opposite in Elementalist, and I don't have the maximized build. Enchant Fire melts bosses, when you apply the debuff before everyone blows their wad at the beginning. It also speeds up the rest of the run due to all of the auto attacks people do. Solo gets hard when it's all flying enemies, but other then that, is pretty mana efficient.
    Enchantfire is weak compared to holy buff (which does ton more). I have max enchant fire and it does about 1/4th of one my hits, where as holy does 50%ish from the looks of it. Chain lightning is great on flying stuff. I have Lv10 at Lv20 attribute about, and it hits for about 500-700 X5 on about 6-9 targets.

    Anyway, the main thing pyro can do mainly to damage bosses (or in this case elementalist) is fireball. 2X fireballs is a boss rape... if you can get it on a boss >.> For example, 2 fireballs (at Lv140ish) on the lv50 instance boss pretty much takes 75% of the bosses hp (hits like 1,500's/2 per 1 sec or something 10 times + it does a burning dot for more damage). Or about 25% hp off the Lv130 instance bosses if it can actually sit there long enough without someone smacking it. Lv5 fully charged meteor does about 6K though which is nice if I can get it off and survive doing it (its about 30% of the bosses hp).

    Now if wizards COULD equip wands... AND CRIT with magic, it would be amazing. Unfortunately, from what I can tell/tested, it does not crit at all ;/ (would be hilarious to crit someone with meteor in pvp for sure, it does a ton without critting as is).

    Lastly, anyone figure what max level skills can go to for dps? I lvled my pyro fireball over 50, and it started costing like 70K per upgrade...

    Ya, magic doesn't crit, and I haven't seen a wand since lvl 10ish.

    Did Crystal Mines and Suntunes, and saw Twinkle Rod from the first, and the Sword Fish, from the second. It's all cosmetic stuff, but it's fun and a nice change from the other stuff.

    Did Catacmobs mission. You have to kill six scrolls, on the floor, but each is guarded by a boss. Once you kill the scrolls, the real boss spawns, but the other bosses will gang up on you unless you kill them as well. Big ol cluster fuck, but it dropped a cute owl hat this time that I haven't seen before.

    yeah there are some strange stuff cropping up lately. I saw a vuvuzela, black bunny ears, white angel wings, black devil (back) wings, flan pudding hat, a star shaped magical rod, cat ears (not those chupacabra desert ears), toy hammer

    I actually like the missions a lot more than the grinding, and I'm pretty sure that's where the bulk of those items you mentioned are coming from. I got the Surrender Flag, Indian Hairdress, and Eagle Feather, from my runs. Twinkle Rod and that Sword Fish also come from missions.

    Did one of the daily party quests, which took me to some lvl 50 areas. Putzed around for about 15 minutes, completing the quest, and got 14k as a random reward. =/

    Looks the IMC has extended ICB2 by 2 weeks. The beta now goes until Dec.9th.

    They have also have doubled the xp across the board, so more players can test end game content.

    They need to add as many monsters/spawn rate, as the earlier maps, as well as the number of channels, across the board, if they expect us to grind at 1/5th the rate.

    Like this fucking shit in Prayer of Forrest. Zero mobs, in the area, and I have to pull them to a specific spot and kill them. The fuck is this....

    Mentioning both Peltasta and Barb there reminds me of how much I wish you could taunt with 2H.

    Nope, do what I did.. run as you swing your sword around, and at the end of the pull when they are in range, head shopper the fuck out of it all.. see tens of thousands of damage in seconds.

    Taunt should only work after you've agro/hit a mob, not a damn dinner bell that pulls a whole screen worth of monsters. I have dropped all my aoe, on occasion, to get all of the kills before, when some turd is just standing in place, never moving, and doing that crap.

    Well, obviously.
    All I'm saying is I wish you could taunt with 2H. Its just easier.

    The 2x whatever exp rate the beta was at before feels pretty good in terms of exp. Level 136 didn't take much time to grind out at all, compared to 85. Bout to hit the Demond Prison grind, soon.

    around Lv 130 the exp "resets" or whatever, so it goes a lot faster.. it'll slow down like crazy by 140's... and feel like forever by 160ish

    It resets at the levels I mentioned. It could be a mob exp scaling thing, but people say that scale is pretty crap. Also, they haven't settled on an exp rate, for launch yet. Even KTOS Open beta hasn't settled on it or the supposed skill timer being shortened, for all classes.

    Did some testing, with Prominence and it's Attribute, and the area reduction is quite significant; its at least a 50% smaller radius.

    Got both barb and highlander to c3, and I gotta say, at high lvl, there is no way barb can compete with highlander on boss damage. Highlander just does insane amount of damage
