With the new update, I'm tempted to put 5 points into power in Magic Blast rather than Fire Ball... even though Fire ball still isn't the strongest, I love love love the magic blast now. It's soo spammable (to a certain extent) and it feels like the reduced the casting time too (can't be sure on that one, it could be because I had to stop and cast before, so it felt longer).

Thank you Blaaaaaaah, I missed that spell. Magic Blast should also be maxed damage, and with the new patch, you can max the cool down on on it (to make it 2.8 seconds), and make it a fully spammable spell on the run constantly. The cool down is fine at 4.0 to most, but take into consideration how long it takes for restone cool down, and you'll see why I wanted to speed up my killing. It's highly effective, especially when combined with Stifle and Mind Drain (Fear).

With the new patch I think empowering Nova's damage is a waste, since the damage boost is insane after 90. Same with Inferno. Even if you're trying to be an aggro whore you'll only do like 100 or 150 more damage points at the loss of 5 skill points. I only do the cool down on it, to make it available as a buffer in between attacks, which is so few now that you can cast Magic blast while moving.
