non intended nerf to steal time encounter
hello to the devs ,
you tried to buff steal time encounter on wizard, but FORGOT that the casting itself was most of that encounter dmg, because we would proc storm spell with his small bits of dmg procs that made the encounter actually decent in terms of aoe build.
Now you removed the small procs with the reduced casting time and the spell is less good because you cant get the procs anymore while casting.
We were intended to get buffed and not nerfed, pls change steal time to the way it was before or change it for better reflecting the lost dmg from those lost procs.

Please give me back my Sssssssssssssshhh poof! But then make it Sssssshh poof! since the cast time is now shorter. Or just revert the change.
Thaumaturge should be the Primary and only focus for anything AoE related and until it is in a good place; the ONLY Paragon worked on.
Arcanist is for ST only.
If any separation is thinkable then the separation between the power sources. Fire and ice could be exclusive for the Thaumaturge, lightning and arcane exclusive for Arcanist. However, since for the arcanist the chill stacks also contribute a lot to the Arcanist's damage, more arcane and lightning powers, class features, and so on and much more balancing would be needed between the two paragon paths. Pretty unlikely for the current state of the developer studio (too few developers).
But more importantly @tgwolf apparently hasn't followed the dev posts at all and is completely unaware about the general scope of changes the devs can currently implement for the Wizard. For sure Thauma needs more work technically, but the class overall just needs a buff period. A full rework and balancing of Paragon Paths is off the table at the moment.
Not working out great so far...

So xd by your logic... You only need 4 encounters in each paragon... And only 2 or 3 feats max... What about the othet skills xD? Or you want a bigger bar to put all the skills you unlock as you level up your char? Like where is the logic behind that cause i cant see it xdddddddd
I excluded bosses from this chart. The Storm Spell is a small portion of damage when we looking on whole picture. This mechanic requires rework.
Thanks!

I did some Stronghold HEs on my Thaumaturge and noticed that the Fireball Encounter animation has been modified such that it is less a thrown fireball as much as triggering incendiary material at the mob remotely (a spark and a poof in the distance). I haven't turned on ACT to see if the numbers have changed, but from an operational standpoint I find it much more difficult to visually verify which mob was hit by the effect and how widely the AoE effect spread. The sound effect is almost inaudible as well. Typically I follow the fireball (targeting the strongest mob) with the Icy Rays on Tab so verifying 'who' was hit is important.
