Lately, incendiary is doing around 300 to my lich, yet the other classes don't eat it nearly as hard.

Awhile back, swarms used to be called useless, yet argument was that because it was *** it was 'good'. I assume this is the case because it is only 7th circle and a quick cast on it would make it more 'powerful'. Last time I zoned with my voker, the 2 vokers cycling swarm/inferno would always be done with both sets and I was still casting clouds - wee!

[kiryan]

so you are wondering why a higher level spell has a shorter casting time than a lower level spell?

Wouldn't a shorter chant time make a spell more powerful and therefore more likely to be higher circle?

The actual god reason i've heard is that swarm and ferno are quest spells and therefore deserve to be shorter chant. ive also heard that meteorswarm and incendiary do about the same damage but since you can cast swarm so much faster its obviously much better spell.

and since swarm doesn't heal fire based crap like cloud does :(

Because it is designed to be worse than the higher level, more powerful spells.
