It was very briefly "nerfed" to work without a staff (and create way more fire!) due to a bug
Fireball now fires in a straight line as a pretty darn fast projectile (about as fast as a laser) until it hits something, creating a stunning explosion and a 3x3 burst of fire.
It also seems to more reliably blow open walls, but I may have just been lucky with my rampant destruction.
My only complaint about the change is the inability to stun people and then hit them with a fireball, as the projectile sails right over their prone forms.
Basically, fireball no longer crits people on a direct hit. It just stuns them and sets them on fire... And maybe blows off a limb. But no insta-crit!
