Make Fireball cool since you're working on it?

Current version: 15 hits, slowly ticking on enemies that walk into the ball. You can whap it with a staff, or let your party push it all over the place and out of the way -annoyingly-. It has an attribute that increases its CD to add a tiny burn DoT to contacted enemies.

Test version: 1 huge hit from a larger fireball, hits enemies in a large radius around it.

The problem with both of these is the need to create the fireball and then place it where you want it. Where the former version was too long lasting, the new version seems too quick in its design.

Proposed version: Summon a fireball at the target location. It lasts for 4 seconds and deals 2x hits per second to enemies that contact it. After 4 seconds it detonates as per the Test version into an AoE. It is no longer whappable so it stays where you summon it.

  1. Hits the middle ground between current version and test version in regards to the number of hits.
  2. Solves the issue of having to lay down fireballs and whap them to where you want to put them.
  3. Adds more interesting mechanics to the fireball then both versions
  4. Finally puts some damned range on fireball, which has really been what its always needed in the first place.

288 Pyro C3, Sorc C3.

Fireball hits lvl 246 enemy.
5200 damage.
It burns for 1050. That’s an extra 4200.
9400 damage done. I hit it again, doesn’t burn. 14600 damage.
I hit Flame Ground 20k. Longer Cooldown, doesn’t hit fliers Can’t be repositioned if something walks away.

Go to 280 enemies. 4300. Same deal. Long and short Fireball is the easiest skill to use.
If Fireball is weak all the other skills are weak, as it is Fireball is the most practical means of getting any damage out as a Pyro on Ktest.I just put 1 point in flare to get an easy 413% Base.

There’s no big complication it works the same as a Sapper’s traps except you can move it if you need to.

Just give the new fireball 100% chance to burn with the attribute and it is good to go, imo.

Flare could apply burn debuff to everything that isnt already burning in its range without dealing damage and it would be so cool. Also it would make you feel like

THIS IS HOW FIREBALL MUST BE

Pyro is ok now. You guys are just spoiled with his prepatch opness.
