• Update 6: Updated the visual effects for Inferno and both morphs.
• Update 9: This ability and its morphs are no longer toggle abilities; instead, they will grant their Critical Strike rating benefit as long as they are slotted.

Updates

• Update 6: This ability has completely changed. It can now be toggled, has no cost, and deals no area of effect damage.

• Update 9: This ability and its morphs are no longer toggle abilities; instead, they will grant their Critical Strike rating benefit as long as they are slotted.

• Update 9: The fireball has been changed to deal direct damage instead of damage over time.
