[QUOTE="MonkeezOnFire, post: 6666745, member: 6784845"] It might be worth pointing out that flame strike and fireball are not typically both available to a spell caster. Fireball is available to arcane casters like the sorcerer and the wizard while flame strike is available to the cleric. The cleric's list is more focused on supportive spells such as buffs, debuffs, healing and status curing. While the cleric has all the efficient support spells it lacks easy access to efficient damage which is more in the wheelhouse of the arcane casters. (Note that cleric domains often add a sub theme to the cleric. To a cleric of light, flame strike seems like a sub par choice). As for circle of death which does appear alongside fireball in the wizard and sorcerer lists there isn't much of an explanation. One could argue that necrotic damage is a bit better than fire but at the end of the day in a typical situation fireball is the better choice. Not all spells are created equally. [/QUOTE]
