why using Molten Strike ???
For bosses maybe? Molten strike can be really good for bosses so that’s the only thing I can think of. Granted, I could be wrong!
Exactly, it melts bosses really quickly.
Could you update this pleas for 3.4? I lI’ve lightning strike
Will updates be made for 3.4 since this builds from 3.1? Or does it not need updated?
