I mean, do you want +1d6 fire damage on your attacks or do you want +1 attack and +2 AC?IMO, because the damage it does is sustained rather than burst, and each arrow can only hit one target, and because it's lost completely if the arrow misses, they could drop the concentration requirement on Flame Arrows and it would be both valuable and balanced. I mean, if I were a wizard trying to decide between casting a Fireball or casting non-concentration Flame Arrows, I would consider the situation (how many targets can I hit with Fireball, risk of collateral damage or friendly fire), but the concentration requirement just makes it a non-starter. Concentration is better used on Haste, Flaming Sphere, or a dozen other spells.Might need to change the duration, though. An hour with no concentration risks being one of those pre-load buffs that 5th ed is supposed to do away with.</blockquote>
