Lol? Oh well, it was just a “simplification” so it’d be easier to understand by just using the terms people were already using before. But anyway, damage functions are irrelavant to a damage argument, right? Guess topic’s done then…
Tree of Forums at its best. Did you even read it all before making these last comments? I get the feeling you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing right now. Anyway, it’s late enough for me. I’m calling it a night, you have fun enlightning everyone else with your superior maths and semantics knowledge.
But to stay on topic, so far as i can see, going from fireball level 1 to fireball level 15 would mean an absolute increase in the order of 2688% your magic attack (not considering the log part of it for obvious reasons). Total damage dealt would be almost 1.8 times that of a level 1 fireball.

See, now you’ve fixed it by changing the term from skill factor to overall magic attack. You’re right, this is semantics. Have a good night.
I don’t see what’s complicated
1696% is the total damage 16 lvl 1 fireball hits.
3040% should be the total damage of 16 lvl 15 fireball hits.
Are you necessarily willing to give that up since it has two overheat?
What are you giving it up for?
Yes fireball is only increasing about 80% from c1 to C3. That’s not exactly a bad thing.
The real question.
Will you get better DPS with lvl 1 fireball and investment elsewhere?
Greater flexibility?
Greater Burst?
The point of leaving skills at level 1 is because you’re going to get more out of those points elsewhere.
Saying you only get 80% scaling doesn’t mean that it’s worth giving up if Fireball is still the main move.

I can’t wait to make an elementalist and use rain all the time after patch.

How about when the calculation equates to zero or just a few ticks because a swordsman/cleric pushes your balls away? 
The new changes puts [fireball] at 1 hit at all levels now.
Time to change title to
“All pyros delete their class now”
I dont know what imc is dong
I think they are giving us the extremes to see how we react (with their popcorn ready).

They appear to be testing things.
You know…on the test server.
Linker get also nerfed …

One hit fireball with high damage is probably a shitload better than current fireballs where you’re lucky to get 3-4 hits before it gets hit into a corner. Not to mention PVP.
Most Ironic Thread Name 2017 Nominee.
Played with Fireball.
The Aoe Ratio is too small, In-fact I do not believe it has changed.
The attribute seems to do invisible damage as things have died with no numbers popping up.
On a raw damage for damage.
Lvl 15 Fireball has higher DPS than level 15 Flame Ground (except in AoE, as Fireballs ratio is trash)
Flare has higher than both of them. FG is a reliable way of proccing Flare but doesnt hit fliers…
Basically now the money is in maxing Flare 
Because of Micro Dimension you can get more damage out of Fireball than Flare.
Maybe can be Casted with macro dimension.
