Sorry if it's been asked before in the previous 19 pages, but if I LMP/GMP fireball, shoot it at close range, and all 3/5 fireballs explode, does the AOE damage stack?

So if 1 mob is caught within the area of 3 explosions that do 100 dmg each, does the mob take 300 dmg?

yes

Are there any fixes for this skill in the near future? I am causing severe fps drops for my group members, and usually asked to leave for the sake of not causing any unneeded deaths in Nemesis.

I am using dual totems, and if this is not planned for optimization soon I may have to completely change my spec to allow for group play.

Just wanted to get this out there and see if others are experiencing this.

My skill link is as follows.

Fireball, spell totem, LMP, fire pen, faster casting.

Question been working on a CRIT Fireball Build for "Nemesis."

My endgame 6L is this so far

Fireball
LMP/GMP
Chain
Fire Pen
Faster Casting
Life Leech

Which one would you drop for power charge on crit?

Also with my build im LIFE BASED. With only 1% Life regen

So i feel lifeleech is a must since im on nemesis.

Would i drop fire pen or faster casting?

fast cast

I would drop either lmp/hmp or chain, since those reduce your damage by alot.

Base cast speed is absolutely horrible. Spell damage hardly effects it at all. Everyone just masses crit. Make spell damage nodes actually useful. (outside of the 12% ones) It isnt even worth getting immolation in an end game build because the 6% buildup is trashy, and you can spend the points down shadow for 24% spell damage and 9% cast speed instead.

just broken and imbalanced.

Pretty much. It also costs far too much mana. Seriously, compare this spell to Spectral Throw. How is having this cost 300% more, while dealing fire damage instead of physical, at all sane? I mean, burning isn't even a useful elemental effect.

This may be an annoying question. But could someone run a rough estimate of numbers that a proliferated crit burn could reach now with entropy, holy fire, conc effect, increased burning damage, double (or maybe triple) curse etc etc (other things too). I remember that a strong single shot fireball could get some good burn damage before, but just wondering how much better it is now (needs more skill investment tho)?

Edit: also if you linked it to remote mine and got some mine nodes I could see it getting fairly nasty.

For critter you want (chain and lmp/gmp will fuck your crits so much that you wont see damage comming):

Fireball
ConcEffect
Fire Pen
Increased critical damage
Ele proliferation
W/e you want (but no lmp or gmp).

And watch the world burn, unless mobs have elemental+fire resistances... (almsot every mob has that xD).

Drop chain imo, doesnt really help the explosion of FB
