I wish Brain Freeze also increased the damage of fireball by 2/4/6 % or something like that. It's a fun talent, but apparently it's totally unnecessary (and maybe even detrimental) at higher gear levels. Obviously this is from a PVE perspective.
it's still better in a shatter combo than ice lance, every time.
with no talents amplifying fire damage, a non-crit fireball will hit just slightly softer than a crit ice lance, and a crit fireball will do about double that amount.
take a look at the chart i posted a couple posts back:
Fireball - 11 casts - 52k dmg.
Min hit - 3342. Avg hit - 3797. Max hit - 4437 54.5% hit
Min crit - 5556. Avg crit - 5819. Max crit - 6346. 45.5% crit
Ice lance - 7 casts - 22k dmg.
Min hit - 623. Avg hit - 1418. Max hit - 1855 42.9% hit
Min crit - 4244. Avg crit - 4522. Max crit - 4690. 57.1% crit.
every one of those ice lances (except one) was done on a FoF proc (except one.. that stupid 623 hit was a lag issue on my end). and my fireballs were not done on FoF procs.
for only 4 more casts, fireball did 30k more damage.. if given the choice between an ice lance and instant, mana free fireball, i will take the fireball every time.
