You should probably go ES if u dont wanna waste ur time.

Regardless of if fire is okay it will always be slow af

Great at clearing p8 generally due to its huge AoE skills.

Kinda sucks at single target damage though so heralds will be a struggle.

this is the real answer
single target is so bad (compared to ES ofc) that I stopped being fire

I found Flame Wave to be really good single target dmg (not on the level of Echoing Strike obv). Pretty sure it hits multiple times on each cast.

What worked best on AoE was lay down Apoc > Telestomp in the middle > Spam Ring of Fire until Apoc goes off. If on P1 Ring of Fire was plenty on it's own.
