Firestorm Or Sinister Reach On Ignis?

[Shafilp]

since my ignis have only 1 slot left, i have no idea which one should i use for my ignis Firestorm for more cone range or Sisnister Reach for more beam range :C

Copy pasted from another topic. I personally find neither helpful, I add more damage instead, but for lower levels were you don't need that much damage I'll use both... here's why:

As I understand it, Firestorm increases the angle of the affected area, while Sinister Reach increases the distance of the area (which incidentally also increases the final width). Using both together gives you a *much* larger area than either individually.

 

Personally I'm somewhat used to the old size, so the new size feels like running around with both SR and Firestorm already installed, so I don't add them. But you can make the affected area much larger using either/both of these mods. Whether you want to will be a personal preference between whether you want a larger area, or more damage (by installing another damage mod instead).

 

A quick paint graphic; concept only, proportions are not to scale;

I use Firestorm for more AOE, but it is up to you.

Personally I would go for Sinister Reach, the Ignis seems to have a pretty wide spread already.

When I used Sinister Reach the range was impressive.

IIRC Heavy Calibre does pretty much the same as Firestorm, with a damage boost.

Ignis reaches 50m without sinister reach, and (I think) 58m with... the mod is nearly pointless since it's a fraction of how far it's obscene reach already is. Firestorm is great since it makes the cone wider giving you more area for your fuel burn. I have personally started trying out combustion beam. The results are... well, fun.

It's 40, and with Sinister it's 52. So the boost is quite big.

 

As for your question OP, I use both.

Firestorm if the tileset quite big(like earth, corpus ice planet)

Sinister reach if the tileset a bit narrow (like corpus hall, grinner ship)
