Now, if ya lookin’ at the Elder Scrolls Online, specially that fancy skill called Flames of Oblivion, lemme tell ya, it’s somethin’ fierce. Now don’t go thinkin’ it’s complicated – nah, this here skill’s like havin’ a big ol’ bonfire right in the middle of a battle, burnin’ up your enemies with every flicker of flame. It’s a skill for the Dragonknight folk, part of the whole Venomous Dragon build, and trust me, it packs a wallop.
Now, how it works is real simple, but powerful-like. This skill, it ain’t just some little fire – oh no. Ya activate this aura of flames, and it does a whole lot more than lookin’ pretty. Every 5 seconds, it’s sendin’ out these fireballs at up to 3 enemies, hittin’ ‘em with what they call Flame Damage. It’s a blast of heat that’s got them enemies feelin’ like they just stepped too close to a forge. These fireballs got some muscle behind ’em too, dealin’ around 1799 Flame Damage, dependin’ on how tough ya got yourself set up.

And here’s where it gets real interestin’ for ya. When ya got this skill sittin’ there in one of your bars, just slotted and ready, it ain’t just sittin’ pretty – it’s givin’ you a nice boost with Major Prophecy and Major Savagery. Now, what that means in plain talk, is your spell and weapon crit rates go up by 2629. That’s a right good amount to be helpin’ ya land harder hits, makin’ sure ya got a good chance to really leave a mark on them folks on the other side of yer sword.
Some folks askin’ about how much it costs to keep this fiery thing goin’. Well, it’ll run ya around 2160 Magicka each time ya fire it up. Now, Magicka is precious stuff, so ya gotta make sure yer ready to spend it. But if yer playin’ smart, ya won’t mind the cost, ’cause the payback is big. And, it lasts 15 seconds once ya start it up, with a 15-meter radius, which is big enough to catch a good handful of enemies if yer plannin’ right.
Now let me tell ya, this Flames of Oblivion, it don’t just work by itself. Nope, ya gotta use it right to make it part of yer Dragonknight strategy. It’s especially useful with that Venomous Dragon build I mentioned earlier. Put that together with some poison abilities, and them enemies don’t stand a chance – they’re either burnin’ or slowin’ down from poison, givin’ ya the upper hand in most fights.
But remember, this skill ain’t about bein’ fancy; it’s all about hittin’ hard and keepin’ it simple. No need for any fancy combinations or long set-ups. Ya just gotta watch that timing and keep yer eye on the Magicka, so ya don’t run out when ya need it the most. Since it hits multiple enemies, it’s good when yer fightin’ a crowd, like in them dungeons where all them baddies come runnin’ at ya. Flames of Oblivion keeps ’em busy and takes the heat offa you and yer allies.
And fer folks who might be wonderin’, them fire numbers ya see, they ain’t like yer DoT numbers. They show up in plain white, not orange, so don’t get all mixed up when yer watchin’ the screen. Just remember, if ya see white numbers poppin’ up every few seconds, that’s yer Flames of Oblivion workin’ its magic.
So, if yer lookin’ to make a big impression and don’t mind spendin’ some Magicka, the Flames of Oblivion is somethin’ ya oughta consider. It’s straightforward, it’s powerful, and it’s exactly what ya need if ya like to keep them enemies at a good distance, especially when they’re gathered up nice and close. And when ya got them extra critical hits comin’ from it, well, ya know yer leavin’ some real scorch marks behind.
Go on now, give it a whirl in yer battles. Just make sure ya got enough Magicka and don’t let them flames burn out too soon!
