I've been looking at mids hero builder, and it shows average damage of 136 (unenhanced)... but when i look at it in game, it shows around 62... anybody know why this is... i'm kinda new to this, so any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks uhm, talking bout fireball from the ancillary pool, for dominators, btw uhm, that's HELP !!! not Hepl...

I noticed that too. Mids shows fireball as this mini nuke capable aoe when ed capped for dmg and musculature alpha yet ingame its just not . . . I respecced out of it b/c I don't use /fire thus without fiery embrace I saw little to that ancillary when /ice has sleet and Ice storm, etc.

thanks for the input... was wondering if it was just me, not knowing how to get the power to its full strenght...
Fire Ball It deals the most damage of all the targeted AoEs.
this is a quote i saw, and thought i was getting something really special
thanks again

For some mysterious reason, Mids tend to list certain epic powers as doing twice the damage they actually do. Fireball is one of them.

The dominator version of Fire Mastery is a cut and paste version of the controller version that is then tweaked a bit. As a result, the Dominator version of Fireball actually has containment damage within its definition, but Dominators don't get the containment damage because the power definition is coded to check to ensure an actual controller is using it. Mids is currently not compensating for that automatically.
