Sets the ground on fire. Enemies touching the fire are periodically inflicted with a burning effect, taking 19 base burning DPS per effect for 3 seconds.
"Applies 2 stacks of damage over time effects instead of 1."
Synergies[]
This weapon is best used as a supporting tool. As a very accessible and effective means of setting enemies on fire, it synergizes nicely with affixes related to fire damage or oil.
This weapon also synergizes very well with the Oiled Sword.
Notes[]
Affixes such as "+30% damage on slowed targets" apply to the projectile as well as the inflicted burn status but not the fire it spreads on the ground.
Firebrands sacrifices ranged capability and defence for a powerful area-of-effect. This weapon favors hit-and-run strategies, and a reliance on synergies.
This weapon is a viable alternative to the Fire Grenade, and generally does slightly more damage.
Trivia[]
