Yes, they can overlap, and thus a single volley can hit the same enemy multiple times.
Lesser Multiple Projectiles is a really good pick, in my opinion. Doesn't hurt single-target that much (can multi-hit if enemy is adjacent to a wall or rock, too), and quite effective at killing groups. Alternative is setting up with GMP and an entirely separate Fireball, as Charan also described - probably more effective in the long run.

A followup on that question, let's say all 5 GMP AOEs overlap, and all 5 ignite, if you're wearing and Emberwake, will the targeted mob receive 5 ignites?

An 18% Fireball dropped in The Coast on my first Talisman character (luckily I'm going Iron Will caster with him) and I thought I'd make use of the skill.

It's a rather underwhelming experience with a starting character. The combination of slow cast speed, slow and small projectile, and small AoE mean I just don't enjoy it at low level. Maybe it'd pick up with supports, but right now it's just blah. The damage is also low even after some investment such as a nice Ashscale Talisman with spell damage. At the moment all I use it for on that character is blowing up barrels and crates, with the occasional toss at an enemy when it levels or mixing in a support to see if it's doing any better. So far it hasn't.

Something that might make it feel better but only alter the look: Give it a bigger projectile. At the moment it looks like a dinky fire bolt, not a big fire ball. There also isn't much in the way of showing what the AoE really is. Perhaps it's my video settings, but a better indicator of the AoE would be nice so I can be more strategic in casting the spell.

Got 1 question to which I couldn't find an answer.
At lvl 20 fireball deals 500-750 dmg. Considering I don't have any aoe modifiers, for how much do I hit a single target?
2x500-750 => effectively 1000-1500 or
2x250-375 => 500-750?
Obviously target is hit by the projectile and then by the explosion.

This will be with regards to FB's interaction with chain. Because of shotgun mechanics, chain was changed to expire on hit and cast a new spell so that hitting the same target would still be possible. In that case, will a chained FB hitting 3 times explode 3 times?

Well that saves me time looking in the patch notes for it.

Then my question changes a bit but still in the same train of thought. Are chained projectiles "new" projectiles?

How does it interact with the threshold jewel rolling flames.

Sweet. Thanks. So I get to "prolong" fireballs travel time with this and hopefully detonate in the middle of a pack.
