Let's be honest, we all try to avoid Brimstone and Blazing enchants. They're just so straightforward and/or self destructive! But I wanted to give this a go anyway. One of the less discussed aspects of the blazing enchant was the damage boost you get for attacking enflamed enemies. I wanted to see if it stacks when you have a blazing staff of fireblast as a battlemage. Unfortunately I couldn't find the math behind how this was coded, so no way to verify. But it was pretty powerful - usually a two shot kill when you paralyze with fireblast, then hit with the staff. FB on its own can also one-shot most enemies when upgraded super high. Brimstone is woefully mid. It's great for this specific run (keeps you safe from all the flames you're tossing around) but the small shielding when you're surrounded by fire might as well not even be a feature of the glyph (I was lucky to get 6 shielding at any given moment). It's definitely a good early game enchant but terrible for endgame. Anyway this run was more fun than I expected. It was a 7 challenge run and I barely made it out in the end.

Well I guess I'm no one then. As a Huntress main who heavily utilizes grass, I very much avoid blazing, (and unstable because blazing) and love me some chilling

Seconded, I don't like having to watch out for burning gras down.
