Which is 50% phys damage, so yes it does

With no cool down, Molten is instantly recast and instantly does damage to you when you try to capitalize on that opportunity you just created for yourself with LS projectiles. Not to mention you'll be gunned down by far stronger ranged attacks before you make the impact you hoped to. Bottom line is, casters even in their "weakest" state (zzz...) didn't need a defense this powerful. Now that casters have been heavily buffed in so many ways, all it did was augment Molten and make it even more powerful then it already was. Before people wanted a cool down on it so they could pretend they were at least playing smart pvp. I.e...shoot it down, capitalize on the cool down style. Well that never happened instead we got CWDT 20/20 set ups that took that proposed cool down idea and tossed it out the window. Even as a 1h/shield melee user you're rolling the dice versus this shit, you block it/dodge it or you're dead to it. Molten + Tempest is a compounding problem that keeps getting swept under the rug and with every patch gets better and better with the introduction of CWDT set ups, hp nerfs, caster buffs, echo support making casters main attacks even deadlier, block reduction nerfs,lack of + max resist on the tree, more - max resist on the tree yada yada yada. I've typed it before and I'll type it again, its fucking hilarious when casters on this game complain. I don't even want my text to project that I'm complaining, because its really just stating solid facts. It's not like I've quit over this shit or anything, I'll still be here tomorrow and the next day and the next day even the end of days when Molten Shell is still ignored and blows up your fucking computer when you touch it because it just needed to get buffed more and more indirectly.

Your hate towards casters is pretty deep mullaxul, you probably said the same exact things a hundred times already on this forum. I think everyone knows molten and tempest is strong, and tbh good casters dont even use molten anymore ( like myself ). There are plenty other 1 shot bullshit skills/builds to complain about atm, if i'd ask myself what i think is broken atm is probably getting 1 shotted by a single arrow with the mirrored harbinger bow on a 8k+ es, including crit daggers like always but everyone knows that already... there's no point putting such effort in your texts mullaxul, just give up and let it go.
