Maybe fireball should be changed so it creates fire, but doesn't explode.
As an addendum, I too would like to see fireball changed to no explosion but instead more like a blast 4x4 fireball blast that can ignite several people at a time. Getting hit directly with the fireball should do some direct burn damage.

I'm down for fireball getting nerfed (shocking right?) Last wizard round I had it was pretty much a instant kill to the people getting hit with it

Sorry to Hijack the thread a tiny bit but since we are talking about useless spells that need a buff how about bullcharge?
It's stupidly obvious in what it does and it's path can be avoided by steping one square away. When it DOES hit someone it has a stupidly short stun and low damage compared to the auto-track fireball of death

I think some of the balancing could be solved by rebalancing the telecrystal allowances and costs. Instead of straight up 1 tc for 1 spell, each spell could have it's own cost depending on it's relative power. This would allow for another dimension of control in regards to buffing and nerfing a spell. Though from a style point I'd be more partial to calling them levels instead of telecrystals. Not quite DnD, but closer to nerdom.

This seems like the best solution in my opinion.

Honestly, I really don't see the problem turning it to a zombie. It is still harder to get than the golems, which are real strong as it is, and has a higher cooldown. The whole point of wizard is to be OP. It's a wizman vs the entire crew, and they will absolutely mob them. Wizard is supposed to be OP, nerfing it makes it less fun. This spell clearly needs a buff. This proposed buff makes it at least someone close to golem. It's a simple change and adds more diversity. Nerfing other spells is not the point.

If skeletons are too frail for what it takes to make them, why not just make them more durable?
Re: Wizard: Raise Dead - Frank_Stein - 06-04-2015
I'll say it again, just have the spell reanimate defeated skeletons.
Re: Wizard: Raise Dead - vampirate - 06-04-2015
Problem is people will just hide the skeletons. Also the problem stands that one golem hits harder and lasts longer than a skeleton, and explodes into its chemical, and also is more frequently useable.
