Why fireball is dead?

GGG is doing neither...They're doing what Blizzard would do in D3...just add more damage.

Yep, they totally did not rework any skill at all in last 2 years. Nope. Not at all. They just add more dmg.

Fireball has been buffed by getting 20-50% MORE damage so many times I can not count but as others have said, it is mechanic too weak compared to modern spells. It also has high mana cost and requires GMP.

The same can be said about bow and melee which have fallen behind auto targeting, self propagating, auto casting, low support gem reliant super-spells.

Comparing heavy strike to tectonic slam is like comparing tectonic slam to spells. They are worlds apart.

Oddly I tried fireball yesterday night and lol’d, took out the gem and discarded.

Because people don't like to select a target.

That really is the whole thing. People don't want to target shit. It's like why do people like delve? Because people hate running mazes and loot shit a delve on the other hand is very straight and the loot will be collected for you. The answers to "Why do people xxx?" are always simple.

Id you dont like targeting things just use spell totem 4Head.

You loose a valuable link doing that therefore people use skills that already have auto aim instead.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

People just like autotargeting or giant AoE stuff for clearing. Ignite prolif is not relaible and scaling burn damage is boring overall.

GGG hates Fireball? Why would you even think it? Fireball is dead because no big streamer is playing it.
THATS ALL.

And the streamers don't play it because it's way too slow. Same for most real melee skills. They are too slow and dangerous to use (unless you like dieing a lot).

Mathil already shown countless times that "dead old skills" can be as good as new shiny ones.

Mathil has Aspect of the Cat in real life. I guess not even 1% of the playerbase has his lightning fast reflexes of uber godly dodging shit manualy. You can't compare Mathil to normal people, the guy is a beast! ^^
