pyroshell?

I've used it before doing 3-x solo mode for the 3-minute boss (no time limit on him in solo mode ofc, but he hits harder/uses fire magic at range).

Other than that, i rarely use it.

I use sage Pyroshell when fighting that one boss in Abaddon.

Too many times have I been in a squad where the bm thinks he can tank it, runs in, dies, cleric folllows, archers/sins get caught in the aoe and dies, and Im stuck kiting/taking hits just so it doesn't reset.

Apart from that, the others have been said.

It's helpful when tanking Drake (fire) in FB/BH59 too. For the fire resistance... b:surrender

Usefull moments of pyroshell

Culti 51 outside of FB 51 --> 2 of the 3 bosse there do range Fire dmg
Drake and Gluttonix in FB 59 --> both attack Fire in Range mode
Hooli the Black in FB 79 -->uses Fire Attack ( im not sure abou Linus and Brig)
All Fire Range mobs like all Foxwings the Pyrowraiths or Apostle( Heaven)
or Towers and Mobs in Burning Heart .....

Personally i see the main use of Pyroshell in the dmg reduction and not in the HP recovery
I mean many of these Firemobs deal significantly more dmg without the shell compared to using the shell. On Apostle its -150dmg/hit for me which is quite a difference especially if you have more mobs attacking you at the same time

this is the way i look at it. each shell is for a different successful wizard biuld.

-earth shell: light armor wizard with acouple spare points on vit (my biuld)

-water shell: pure magic arcane wizard

-fire shell: arcane wizard, every spare point in vit

the water shell biuld is the most common for the remaining wizards of the game, the earth shell biuld is less common, but still there, and to the best of my knowledge the fire shell biuld is completely non-existant.

the reason the fire shell biuld is non-existant is because it's strength is in it's very high hp amount and with the high vit combined with the fire shield, it's high hp regain rate. it's the same concept as a barb, but with less physical defence. and lets face it, if you're biulding a defensive magic user, you probly got sick of dieing in acouple hits from physical attacks, and wanted to up your Pdef.

what the biuld would be great for is being able to take hits from other magic users during a TW of other multiple player pvp situations, while focusing your attention on bombing melee attackers. high m defence+high hp=great defence agenst magic users. however unless that magic user is a light armor biuld, they've got a higher attack than you aswell as around your Mdef. so you'd be completely reliant on the melee user to attack the magic users attacking you while you were attacking the melee users attacking him. there also isn't really allot of call for any of that since there are better stratigies, so not allot of people have the biuld.

(tried all 3 biulds up to lvl 45, liked light armor the best, sticked with it, scrapped the other 2 fer cash, then deleted)
