Excessive fire damage on metalforge?

I don't know if this is a metalforge issue only since I only play there, but I'm a fireborne with +100 to fire.. Normally fire-attacks don't do anything to me, but last night I was dropping in hp like a fly on raid.

Some other people were having problems with fire-based monster attacks doing excessive damage.

oh yah, i forgot about this. On my character Wedren who is a fireborn I can be damaged by fire. this was a while ago too.

also yesterday, me a npc and a newb fireborn got stuck on a bunch of movers, the npc was blocking the exit and the newb couldn't kill the guy, i come plodding alog, get stuck too, and have to use firebolt to kill the guy. In doing so I also hurt the newb fireborn.

something does seem wrong with this

Seems to me too fire does much more damage, indeed. Dragons do much more damage, I lost >150 hps against 3 regular dragons, with 55 resist fire....

IIRC, dragonbreath was tweaked not that long ago, maybe that's why...

Be sure to specify exactly where the fire damage is coming from.

Some dragons use dragonbreath, others use burning hands. Some demons use hellfire, and so on. Each of those attack types may be more then just "fire".

Also, a CVS update on Feb-14 modified the casting time for dragonbreath (reduced it) and damage (increased it). That's all that has changed with it unless I missed a change somewhere else.

Spells have been updated (though server may need sometime to catch up). There are now separate (dragonbreath, prolly other) spells for players and monsters, monsters having a less powerful version. This should fix some issues, hopefully

Seems good so far, though it was sorta nice to acctually be challenged by a dragon for once. Anyways dragon breath is actually useful now, mean ing I can kill more that hill giants and trolls.
