Chayula - Into the Breach...WTF

This is the weirdest mechanic. It lasted about 30 minutes and I had to spec out of it. First off, you only get a buff on screen for purple (dmg) so you have no idea how long the blue (mana leech) and red (life leech) are on you or if they are at all.

The duration timer on the purple is so weird. It might show you have 4 charges and 9 seconds but charges fall off before timer ends so I think it tracks each individually while not showing it.

But the weirdest thing is the flame spawns. Based on the description one drops every 1.5 secs and stay on the ground for 25 seconds. So you'd think if you stand still and don't move you'd be surrounded by a ton. But that's not what happens they spawn out of view. And while you are fighting they don't spawn around you in an area you can get as you fight. It's basically useless...really bad

Anyone have any better luck or get this figured out?

I don't even think I lasted 30 minutes with this ability.

I wanted to love it, my whole character idea was to build around it, but I don't even think I can handle it with the doubled duration.

I rarely got more than 1 charge of the purple flame during fights, and I'm sure as heck not going to run all over the map, dodging boss AEs to get 7% more damage added...

This whole set of nodes is horrible. A game that's designed around "slow methodic" gameplay wants you to zoom-zoom for flames? Nope

Instead I grabbed the damage add to the west and my next points will do all the stuff down the bottom.
