Fire Techniques (PSO2)

Discuss fire techs in depth here. To do: Add relevant base tech info and craft info.

Foie

If you graze enemies with the edge of the projectile, the projectile will continue onward until the center hits something.

Highest DPS fire tech. 34% damage per hit. So total damage is actually 102% of the listed power.

Has infinite range if you free aim it. You can hit something from across an open map (like in TD/MBDs).

Craft type		Merit	Demerit	Special
Blazing	1	Power +10~30%	Charge Time +.70~.30 sec
	2	Power +50~80%	Charge Time +.60~.20 sec	Burn Rate +5%
	3	Power +70~110%	Burn Rate -18~10%	Charge Time -0.05 sec.
Wide	1	Range +1.00-1.50m	PP +1~6	Burn Rate +15%
	2	Range +1.30-1.80m	PP +1~6	Burn Rate +15%
	3	Range +1.50-2.00m	Power -30-10%	Burn Rate +15%

Blazing:

The level 3 craft, with a level 17 rafoie, increases your damage by approximately 17.1%~26.9% per cast.
The charge time reduction is applied before the force tree skill fire tech charge.

Wide:

Status effect is not too useful in general. Unless you want to use this to inflict status, there is little use.
Will get a relatively large number of mobs' attention though.
- If you do use it for status, using it with Psycho Wand's weaponoid potential Ultimate Calamity gives it a 63% chance to cause a burn. This is especially good in something like TD4, wave 6 for burning apprentice. Tightly packed mobs will also very likely target you, which will allow you to keep a tower safe.

Upon reaching an enemy, you will stop.
If you are locked on to an enemy and another blocks your path, you will be stopped.
If you are locked on to an enemy, you can move vertically. This is the only tech that allows you to move vertically.
- Free aim/ 3rd person mode does not allow you to move vertically.(?)
You have super armor during the movement part of the tech.(?)
You can stop the dash early by pressing in the opposite direction. This triggers the explosion early.
You do 25% of the listed power during the dash, and 3 hits of 25% listed power at the end.
- If you stop it early, you can get up to 5 total hits of 25% listed power each(?)
The force skill Talis tech bonus does not apply.
Compared to ilzonde, the dash distance is inferior. The speed ends up being about the same as normal running(?)

Default max duration is 1 minute without the related techer skill or upcoming ring, where it's then 3 minutes.
Gain 15 seconds per "hit" by default, 45 seconds per hit with the related techer main skill.
Boosts your base attack by 10% of the stated amount (at level 17, it's 19.7%).
- If you have shifta advance from the techer tree maxed, level 17 shifta boosts your base attack by 1.25 * 19.7% = 24.625%
The best properties of all shiftas used are taken into account. If your shifta is weaker, using your shifta will increase the timer before shifta expires. (Please confirm this; I believe it to be true). This means that even if your shifta is worse or better in some parts, using multiple shiftas will keep the strongest properties on you. If a techer hits you with a completely maxed shifta (level 17, maxed crit, maxed shifta advance, maxed main class skill), you can keep it indefinitely by refreshing/increasing the duration with your shifta.

Not very useful outside of AQs. With a group that's subbed Fo and has the ketos proi PB, you can group up at the exit to limit spawns to a single location and gain lots of exp in short time.
