Inferno going off like crazy....

Anyone else using inferno pets notice that it seems to go off all the time. While it keeps up the -25% fire resist it seems like a mana burden. Cant deny i love the ability but ill watch it go off three times in a few seconds.

What did you put it on?

I wish Conductive Blast lasted the same amount of time. But I guess since its half the reduction it evens out.

I put Raging Breath on a Cu.

Could try Inferno on one pet with a second Fire Beetle with RC.

A Phoenix does 50% Fire Damage. That's the only pet that does > 20 Fire damage that can get it other than a Fire Beetle (But you lose RC.) Otherwise you have a Griz mare at 20% but not 5 slot. Then a Kirin with 10% fire.
The devs do not give any 50% resist reduction in the type damage to pets with more than 50% damage.
That is why RC is popular.

I am not into the Phoenix. But I am sure a combo of pets and Player spells could make a decent group against a Low Fire resist opponent.

Lightning Force should do the resist debuff also. The stun does nothing.

I've never put inferno on a pet before. What kind of animal did you put it on?

If you are sure it is doing that. Maybe post as a bug after the Steam thing and pub 108 is done.
It lasts 6 seconds so it is wasting mana.

Also what else does the pet have. If just that, then that's why. so no bug.

I put it on a fire beetle. Ive got two aoe set up fire beetles. One with goo, posoin, inferno and fzww. The one i am just finishing has inferno and fzww. It does stink to not be able to use rc, i like inferno because its aoe and does a little dmg. My meteor swarm is definitely better with it. Ive just been notice on the one i built with goo that it will go off like crazy, then have a break and go a bit crazy again. I wanna see the difference once i finish the one with out goo if it still is as sporadic. I dont mind it for what i use it for, mostly harvesting bones in doom because everything dies before it takes the break usually.

Ya should make the other Beetle have RC. I am not at my calculator but 50% plus 25% sounds better.
Also RC reduces all.

FWW is physical damage. So that type beetle without RC gets no resist decrease when FWW is used.
Yeah i know. The agenda of the pet is aoe dmg. Try putting inferno on a pet, you will quickly realize its a bit broken. Unfortunately, fire beetle cant get chiv or anything else really useful. Sure i could put on ai but the point is aoe. Its what i ended up with so im gonna live with it. Either way it does synergize with the rc beetle quite nicely.

i have inferno on a magery mastery phoenix and he does drop a lot of inferno and flamestrikes but it looks cool so I don't mind plus he has 1500 mana so he has to use it on something.

Aura of energy also breaks pets. Once your pet is down to 0 mana and regenerates it back to 20 it will cast aura of energy thus preventing the pet from using any other skills. And aura of energy does like no damage. I kinda hope they will make this aura actual aura skill that works as aoe dot with a timer.

I just finished a phoenix with inferno+chiv. He's pretty good, and you're right he uses inferno a lot. I was thinking inferno would make fire resist -25, but it's actually -25%, so the shadow ele I was training on went from 32 fire resist down to 24. So not as good as RC, or discord, and in a lot of cases corpse skin would even be better, although corpse skin raises physical resist so that wouldn't be good while using a phoenix. I'd rather have armor ignore than inferno.
