    try it out... dps is bad @Chris.. Rof, Banish meteor shower, multi shot all are better damage than solor flare.

    The focus cost is high AF for the damage ratio.

    Now it requires reagents, to boot. I haven't had enough time to really try it out, due to interwebz issues, but it seemed underwhelming. I'll play around with it tomorrow, but maybe it will get a damage boost and/or focus cost reduction to accompany the new reagent cost.

    I got a crit on it earlier today vs 3 ghosts in Crag Mines. It did around 35 damage I think, A crit from my bow can do over 1000 (not very often, though) Seems to be a bit of a puny factor here.

    I'm currently Sun spec and I removed it from my decks. The damage is lackluster and, compounded by the rate of reagent consumption, it's just not worth using. It's a brand-new skill, however, so I'm hoping it will be further-tweaked so that I can sling solar flares in the near future.

    Thanks for the reports! We will review Solar Flare for possible balance changes.
