Flameblast

Its numbers are roughly the same as prior, the cooldown is to stop you doing what you want with it (which is to use it as a regular spell)

its the fire spell equivalent of the glory requiring skills on hammer/spear now.

I've kept my judgement out of the initial part but now that i've got what its for out the way I'm going to say that i think its extremely dumb. Many spells are going to need a full balance pass before 1.0 as they are shockingly bad and while pizzas numbers are good the cooldown kills this skill from the other side.

Infact i don't know about anyone else but they need to add ~ 10 spells for each element type right now as there are really large gaps in the toolkit.

Flameblat lvl 17 (0.1) : 47 (mini) * 3 (augment of 200% so 3 times initial dmg) *10 (stages) = 1410

Flameblast lvl 17 (0.2) : 154 (mini) * 1,75 (augment of 75% so 1,75 times inital dmg) *10 (stages = 2695

(2695*100)/1410 = 191% augment of 91%

You can not *3 like this ; it works for only 1 stage.
1 stage is damage +200% damage, so ok, *3 works.
but 10 stage is +2000%, it is *21, not *3*10=30 like you did ^^

Oh yeah you are right, I got it.

So its pretty bad...

And I agree, specially for sorceress that we need more skills. Only ember is barely playable right now as fire spells !!!

Bruh... It is unusable now

First of all, you have no idea of it's unusable, you haven't been able to try it yet.

Second of all, if the damage is bumped up in accordance with the other changes, fireblast is actually *better* now. They clearly want it to be a big charge-up that hits *hard* but that you can't use constantly. It's a boss-killer or setup-starter, not a spam skill.

Well with the benefit of hindsight .. he was right. The spell is bad. Horribly bad.

Flameblast was really the only hard hitting damage skill fire had. I think that is why people want to see it put back the way it was. Fire skills seem to be an after thought for infernalist rather than a stand alone set of skills for a build. They may as well just move them over to witch.
