"The skill icon damage amount is not to be trusted, Please try using the skill in game and see the different from flame and fireball.
also depending on what server you are, if mithras, fell free to add me kingzamorak for any questions or help.

Thanks for that. As of right now (lvl 9) my flame does 226 avg damage (based on 10 casts) my fireball is 253 based on 10 casts. that is of right now. Most likely to change as i lvl haha.
If the icon amounts are not to be trusted then how are people to know that flame does more damage? i mean they put those on there to help determine what you should lvl haha
EDIT. i am not on mithras. sorry man
Flame is spamable fire ball has a cool down. Also m/w when fully buffed gets a lot of damage boost and casting speed boost which makes flame a lot more desirable than fireball.
Mina point is you can't spam fire ball, so its an ehh skill imo in pve. But pretty good in pvp because if you go on a m/x combo you will need as many instant spells as possible.
