FIRESTORM need buff and should be renamed to meteor

i was looking for meteor skill, but this game dont have it until know. firestorm got meteor animation. i was looking forward for firestorm build but i read many details and reports off ppls about "BUFF" and its actually crap buff. Are you willing to buff it?change name? or i need to skip league again?

You can play what you want despite others.

GGG should really change the name of the skill to Meteor.

Leaving it with a maximum of 3 storms active makes it a completely different skill, as duration is no longer relevant. You will reach this cap with no duration or cast speed investment at all, so the only thing that will really matter now is the big meteor strike that you get whenever you cast.

The "storm" part is such an afterthought now that they might as well remove it completely and concentrate a bit more in buffing the meteor strike.



And the changes to Icestorm are even worse, that skill got completely gutted for no reason.

ofc i can play it, but why play it if i cant do any harder content with that skill. and rerolling is pain in the ass doing all acts all over again.

Why do you think you can´t play harder content with it?
It´s very different skill than before but I don´t think it will be as weak as you might think and you can always switch to other (fire) skill. Ever heard about regret orbs?
I would concentrate on the first impact and ignore cast speed or cwc and duration.

Scaling first impact and burning damage, maybe smth with traps/mines or some
cool Archmage build (in that case some duration might help dno)?
I would theorycraft smth but don´t have time to play:(

Playing game is about having fun so it´s up to you anyway.

The rework does not sound good on paper. I'm not sure what reddit says but to me it is because of the "Maximum 3 Firestorms at a time". Casting too fast would remove existing firestorms. Archmage works well with slow-casting builds. However it is added lightning instead of fire damage. The new Elemental Penetration support could help.
