[Leaf]

Has anyone else noticed any of the other "ball type" of spells that aren't working?

snowstorm
fireball
manaball
et al

[No]

No I haven't, because they are too weak, so I never use them

I agreee all teh "ball" spells that explode seem ta have been severely nerfed

A Large fireball or two at lvl 3-4 would almost - or would - kill an electric dragon or Chinese dragon - now (after 5-10 minutes of continous casting) I was still unable to kill ONE Electric dragon with large FB... let alone a Chinese Dragon... (and at that time I was lvl 13 Pyro)

I think its because they evaporate too fast, the explosion only last for abut 1-2 seconds (even for a large FB!) whereas it used to last for (large FB) for about 3-10 seconds.

Also when watching the explosion of a large FB it looks like it is actually casting 3 FBs inside of one another. The explosion has a small FB that evaporates almost instantly (in the centre) and then a slightly larger radius that also goes away almost instantly which looks almost identical to the medium FB and then a very thin single graphic of fire that extends out to the full width of a large FB but will barely kill kobolds

Actually in beginners when I just started on the new server, the monsters sometimes actually survived the WEAK fireball from the wand...
