[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 7122670, member: 6786252"] Hmmm? My big problem with Flame Blade is that its a melee spell for a class that is either a back row dedicated caster, or a Moon druid that's not going to be casting spells like that in the first place. It just doesn't -fit- the druid design. Couple that with Concentration. You're competing against Entangle, Faerie Fire and Hold Person at minimum at the same level. At higher levels? I'm honestly going to say you're better off with the Conjure spells for your Concentration slot. Now, the spell could be good if we made a druid subclass built around damage with melee spells. There's a couple of spells like that in the druid class already. But, without a subclass? The druid just doesn't want to use weapons in melee. No matter how good of a spell you make it, its not really going to be desirable. Strip Concentration, better damage scaling, and its still an iffy spell. [/QUOTE]
