[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9636697, member: 6716779"] Read sorcerous burst a bit closer. Once you hit level 5 you have a 25% exploding dice chance. Also you don't have to use fire damage. Also if you crit with sorcerous burst any of those extra d8s also potentially explode. That's how I'm seeing damage into the 30s with it. You can also empower it rerolling damage dice. At higher levels I've seen twinned hold monsters used followed up by quickened sorcerous burst and true strikes. Automatic 6d8 damage plus exploding dice. . Am extra +1 off firebolt rarely matters and is fire. Exploding thunder damage matters more and I've seen crits just drop enemies. . It's not a massive drastic this is amazing type thing but it's better than firebolt most of the time imho. Not fire damage alone makes it good. Charisma to damage as well. Firebolt only gets that as a fire sorcerer. On paper sure at the table I'm picking Sorcererous Burst and not fire [/QUOTE]
