      Best spell in the game. Each ray can be critical, so think about it))) We can easy make 16-20 crit range, don't wanna calculate the damage lvl6 spell level ray's. Ofc, spell might gloves dmg also crit. Pure solo eliminate enemies. In pathfinder wotr dragon fire ray's build cannot be critical.

          Very good spell to upcast when you have triggered surprise as it is crit-able due to having an attack roll.

          • if you spend a level 6 slot to focus all beams on 1 enemy, this would threaten 14~84, pretty solid single target damage and procs tons of on-hit bonus damage
            For example, Fireball is able to output 11~66 (22-66 with elemental adapt: fire) with a level 6 spell slot, but in an AoE
            Great spells, the both of em

              So this plus tadpole power for 1d4 extra psychic, hex, sorc 6 fire bloodline and the already mentioned hat of fire acuity for building insane spell attack and DC stacking.
              Anybody know anything else we could stack on this? Anybody know of any items? Evocation wizard 10, is just inferior to sorc 6 in this case.

              • Nice to set up with advantage for one attack, for example from Guiding Bolt. All your beams will have advantage. Blast away.
                Similar to Magic Missile, it will trigger multiple instances of certain effects so it can line up very nicely with some setup.
                It doesn't synergise well with Sorcerer metamagics nor is it typically worth upcasting over a Fireball that can hit two or more targets, but it's a good 2nd level spell with a lot of reasons to take.

                  Best one-shot combo for the warlock in one turn - start with hex and end enemy with 3 rays of fire

                  Works perfectly for Act one

                    Useless garbage: 6-18 damage single target with 50-70% hit chance, average 4-12. Magic missiles lv2 always hit, 8-20 damage.

                      Has anyone else noticed this spell hits like a wet noodle? always 4 damage as though only 1 ray is landing. Bug or am I just extremely unlucky?
