[XMoshe]

Yes, max it if you can.

[Tian_Qiang]

it sux that u cant move with firewall

[very intelligent]

DEFINITELY get it, if ya dont have it you will suck against euros.

[_Dutchy_]

Your a Ranged char you really don't need to move that much to hit ppl

[aishsharma]

for pvp, about as much as arrows
For higher level magical mobs...helps a bit

[XMoshe]

Don't ever use it in PvE. And you can move with fire wall Unless it's fixed atleast...hmmm

[Tian_Qiang]

is it useful when ur gridin too beside pvpin?

[Tian_Qiang]

i thought firewall its like a wall u cant move or u can now?

[XMoshe]

Well there was a bug which would let you walk around with fire wall, but I don't know if it's fixed now. And no fire wall is not usefull during grinding.

[Pan_Raider(`_´)]

actually it is if you want to duke out the knockdown unique in the jangan cave or take less damage from those pesky lvl 94 lizards while killing a pt giant

[Tian_Qiang]

how come its not useful during grindin when it absorbs magical and uses my mp isnt it like snow shield?

For uniques it's handy idd, but I don't really call that grinding. During real grinding, solo or shared it's not worth it IMO.

You can use it but you can't move, like you said yourself. And later on the spawns are spread widely so you will have to move alot. Also wasting time casting it will take away quite some grindtime in the end.

They didn't fix the bug yet, but, they somehow managed to make it harder to get stunned while doing the skill???

It happened few days ago with my bower during a pvp, so for y'all which were wondering, it's still working. For all which don't know the bug; Fight someone which can stun you, (Warrior, Glavier) have the most chances of stunning you, and before they do a stun attack hit your firewall button, and when/if they stun you, you will be able to walk with the firewall

it is for when a whole lot of mobs are at one place..

as a bower you dont have to move at all if you are surrounded by many mobs or if a unique spawns his reinforcements around himself at a certain xx%hp
the wall just negates a certain amount of damage till it goes down.
that gives you a slight advantage since you dont have to watch your hp gauge while being gangbanged.


for what you call real grinding, i.e. kill mob, pick drops, find next monster <--repeat
of course it isnt suitable since you'd have to throw it up every time you get to a mob
(thats what i understood from your post)

walls are for opponents that dont run out of range...
like in 1vs1 pvp normally the opponent runs towards you while you fire at him as a bower.

exception: vs a rogue
-> fire wall-> rogue goes out of range-> xbow extreme-> distance shot+ rapid shot
wall has to go down for you to get back into range


i guess we can say:

walls:
for stationary opponents in range of ones own attacks

advantage:
-absorbs certain amount of either phys. or mag. damage
-prevents attack suspending knockdowns or knockbacks
it is possible to atack the opponent without interruptions while he has to rid you of the wall and a part of the damage = void

disadvantage:
immobility

Warlock is the best for that

I agree Pan, although it would be kinda useless to use fire wall at pure phy mobs cuz it wont reduce the damage xD

[Tian_Qiang]

so its jsut very useful only pvp?
