They are better.. but I think the "higher level" ones should be much higher.. ESPECIALLY for being a "master".

I'm thinking that 1092 - 1333 damage is pretty dang good.  Only Ice Comet beats it every time, and BoFl sometimes. <div></div>

Ice comet App1 will beat it... These are spells geared to a single type mob (specialist ability) only (and are masters no less).. and have a SUPER long recast timer (and are all linked now so if you fight two mobs that you have one of these for each, you can only use one of them). I feel they should best Ice Comet... Yes, they are MUCH better, and I am glad they are... but they are still way underpowered for what they are "supposed" to be. If you are a "specialist" in something, then you are the best, bar none, to those who arent. I should be able to cast "Skeleton Master Strike" on a skeleton and do more damage than someone, that chose to specialize in ghosts, hitting the same skeleton with Ice Comet.

<BR> <DIV>The problem with having them able to beat Ice Comet is that they're available to all of the Mage classes.  Is it really balanced for Coercers and Illusionists to be running around with a spell that can out-nuke Ice Comet, even if its on a 2 minute recast timer?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

But each class should have a "superior to there type of class" spell/art. So, for Wizards, it should beat Ice comet, of other classes, they should get something superior for them. I.e. each class should have a different "spell" for the mastery's.
