  1. Twin flame one trick here, and yeah the weapon is in a weird spot and here is why:

    1) the omega attack encourages a ranged play style but the dmg is ass and cost too much for how much you use it (hint youre holding the button lmao). It's either they increase the dmg or lower the mana cost 2 or hell even 3 would be a relief. And manually pressing it is garbage. The mana problem can be solved with the hera boon for infinite mana but then it kills build variety.

    2) the omega special is the opposite where it encourages getting close but at least the dmg is better but if you want a up close weapon the why pick the twin flame?

    In my 40ish hours, 20 of those was on twin flame alone, so i can say i tried to make this weapon work. And yeah the aiming issue's ¹dont help at all.

    If you want close range then play literally any other weapon, if you want range then the staff is actually goated for that.

    You know a weapon is bad when even a crit focused build with white "White antler" cant save it

  2. I just realized that the auto attack fucking sucks, instead of spamming it – spam specials. Move in a chaotic pattern and become a tornado of fire. Don’t spam OMEGA specials btw, the regular ones, they are super good

  3. Funny thing is that i don't know how you are dealing less damage with this weapon, i loved this weapon because how much damage i did in my runs, specially with my specials (you can cast them normal and it deals a lot of damage, better then using omega)

  4. Hopefully they add a twin stick option. It just feels so clunky aiming and moving with the same stick. I just end up moving forward and getting hit for free. Definitely an under developed weapon. Hopefully it get some QoL changes during EA.

  5. Mythy sleeping on the Hecate keepsake, that rapid mana restoration is ridiculous with right builds, or more precisely, it is ridiculous to get you to the right builds, and if you end up not using it all that much? That's still fine, you can still find use for mana even in not mana intensive builds really

    I will agree that this weapon is ass tho lol, easily the worst of the ones available right now, and even with Hammer upgrades or Aspects it just does not do it for me

  6. Yeah I'm not gonna lie to you, that weapon feels like ass. I hope they update it because it feels terrible. You have to hold it to get decent attack speed, but if you hold you channel, and you don't always want to channel, but tapping it to attack otherwise doesn't work, so you're kinda walled into this build around holding it so you need mana regen out the ass, or you spam special. Neither of them feels good.

  7. In my experience with the torches, I find that bulding special and playing close range works better than bulding primary and playing at range. The big downside is that the special doesn't seem to stagger, so you kinda gotta throw some primary in. I use most of my mana on omega special as opposed to omega primary, so mana regen boons are a necessity. Playing off the special lets me take advantage of the cast damage increase card as well if I don't have a boon that lets me shoot my cast.

    I am honestly hoping they improve this weapon a bit, as the things you pointed out with it do make it kinda difficult to play with. Of course, it's still in early access, so we'll see what they change/add in a few months.

  8. Im just saying here and now, putting my two cents down, the torches will have some of the craziest builds with the special and the amount of ways you can branch it out! I’ve had runs with the massive shield damage and some with the disappearing on impact for increased damage and both are so good with the Apollo boons imo

  9. The normal special on this weapon has EXACTLY the same mechanics as a Diablo 2 Hammerdin (Blessed Hammer Paladin)

    The orb even spawns from the same spot.

    Anyone who has played a lot of Diablo 2 paladin will automatically dumpster things with it.

    I found using this weapon made things a bit too repetitive but still decently good, then again i have thousands of hours playing diablo 2 so basically playing d2 in another game isn't super exciting for me. Posiedon boons for the special are really good, zeus works in a pinch and the increased projectile size daedelus hammer is solid too.

  10. Myth, you wanna use the special over the attacks with the flame weapons, like people are saying.
    Definitely give this one another try cuz I barely use regular attacks with this weapon. Demeter freeze on the special is my favorite boon for the weapon.
