Question about UA Mages

Does Flame Gear stack with poison? Is it worth the loss of MP and HP to make a UA Mage? Does the Flame Gear stack with the IL DoT Ice moves? Thanks, getting dangerously close to 120 on my Cygnus.

Alright thanks for the input! Time to lock this thread

Hmm thanks for the replies, I don't know I just really really dislike F/P's and it's UA I/L vs UA Priest.

If you were to make a UA mage, go with an F/P. It makes a much more consistent multiplier for Mist Eruption's damage than Meteor Shower. That's really the [b]only[/b] reason to make a UA mage.

Yes it stacks with DoT theres going to be a UA revamp along with thiefs so they will most likely fix inventory and hp/mp problems and give more benefits no UA mages are not that bad, for i/l having an enemy burning with flame gear adds 50% damage, the DoT works well with f/p and its a decent xp giver for clerics

Yes, Flame Gear stacks with an I/L's DoT skills, but the monster MUST be burnt from Flame Gear first. If not, then Flame Gear will not damage them.
Imo use Flame Gear > Glacial Chain > Ice Demon.

@zeck96 Flame Gear DoT is 100% now, not 50.
