Is scorch worth it?

[Stormrunner]

I, too, was skeptical about Scorch, Atticus. Though it's been unlocked for weeks (my Doll is LVL19), I only just put a skill point on it today -- in part because I was tired of seeing that blank icon space on my screen.

Well, now I am glad I did -- and feel that the little description of the skill in the game doesn't do it justice. Yes, the initial damage is typically in the 30s, but the burn damage over time takes away an additional 75 points or so. Even with only one skill point, Scorch delivers over 100 in damage.

Yes, it uses more Voodoo and takes longer to recharge than Poke or Swarm, but it's certainly worth a point or two, imo.

Like people said, it does damage over time and increases your rep. I personally like Life Drain the best. It costs 100 voodoo but if you max it out, you can inflict anywhere from 500-1000 damage on yellow enemies and get about 700 Heath back.

yea scorch is like the venom shot or venom dagger it takes the intial life the over a set period of time it will take away more health , and its just fun to burn people in the game

I would think it would work great against stumps
tree vs fire

I have one dot in it, I won't put any more, I'm glad I have the dot though because its a great button to hit when the rest are recharging lol
