Fireball is a must-have spell for wizards?? Wow! almost like it was based on a dnd spell that's ALSO a must-have spell!
Snippy bitchiness aside, I'll agree that the fireball spell is overpowered, but I feel strongly that this is one of those cases where it deserves to be. Especially since most wizards that take it end up blowing themselves up with it, and soul guard doesn't protect them anymore
lol if you knew you were being a jerk why type it out and then dismiss it??
It's not the problem that it is a good spell, it's just that it's way too good. It's an auto-honing one hit crit machine that isn't fun to play against. If it weren't auto honing I think that how strong it is is totally cool but the fact that it chases you down makes it super unfun to play against, since the only way to avoid it is to get behind something or into a locker - and I'm p sure lots of players don't know how to easily pull that sort of stuff off.
I've always thought a cool balance would be to make it so it shoots straight out from the direction the wizard is facing, that way it would be easier to cast on the fly and would balance out the fact that it fucks up whoever it hits.
