Hey all,

Does the might gain from Pyromancer’s Puissance stack? E.g. when using a fire skill 25 times, will this give me 25 might (so +750 power)?
If so, why are the meta builds not using this trait cause with Superior rune of strength its seems very powerful to me.
Thanks!

It should but remember that the might it gives you has a duration so you would have to use that many fire skills within the duration otherwise stacks start expiring.

The might tends to time out so in practice, it’s more like 10ish stacks of might. Maybe more for some builds. If you were able to cast 25 Fire spells at once, then yeah, you could max out on Might with this one trait alone.

If so, why are the meta builds not using this trait cause with Superior rune of strength its seems very powerful to me.

Most meta groups involve a lot of AoE might stacking, so a trait like this would be wasted, or would only give you a few stacks of might before hitting the cap. Also, Persisting Flames is extremely powerful.

Persisting Flames increases damage output of Lava Font by 33%. Lava Font is your bread and butter as a DPS Staff Elementalist.

You also get a Lava Font upon getting downed. This allows you to easily Rally off any mobs that were standing next to you.

Also, easy access to fury.
