Firestorm
80% damage nerf is too big of a disadvantage at high difficulty. I'd go back to 50% and implement a cast delay.
The wait is over.

The tooltip (particularly the 80% reduced damage, and what it means by that) is unclear and could use some better explanation.

I think this skill needs a major rework. Right now, it has a tiny area, but has the highest single-target DPS of any spell. This is kind of ridiculous for a "storm" type spell. I believe the area should receive a major buff, while the damage should receive a nerf.

Silty, have you played till Mercieless or chaos?
because if not, you really should. This skill like many others becomes useless because the damage is way too low. |

Spread out the projectiles but increase the damage of each individual one.

I hit the sack I've been too long I'm glad to be back |

I also think that the area should be larger.

I feel the splash on fireball does more than the area effect on this spell

" I guess you're right, it falls behind freezing pulse in single target damage once you get a multiple projectiles gem. Firestorm probably has limited ways to boost its damage from support gems. Either way, I still think it should get an area boost. It's not much of a storm, more like a shower stall of fireballs. |

Used this spell myself as a witch, but stopped playing the character because this spell just made everything too easy - even on hardcore. Seen other people basically just spam this, it's low mana cost and high dps make it very easy; even potentially game destroying in terms of a challenge.
Damage needs a little reducement, but area spread of the spell needs to be way larger. |
