You call that a Fire Storm?

I've seen leaks in the ceiling bigger than that. I'm not quite sure how the idea of a storm that can be avoided by taking 2 side-steps came about, but I think the AoE DoT spells in the fireline need an improvement.

At minimum, I believe every AoE DoT spell in the fireline should be Ward range ("In Area"). Powerful? Yes. Overpowered? If an Eviscerate/Executioner's Axe+Backbreaker Irresistable Blow combo can down someone with just two characters, I don't think a bit more viability in the Elementalist's fire line department would hurt. Elementalists need a huge buff in general, and I think it should be taken at one skill line at a time.
