Suggestions for Improving Elemental Fire Spells

I've come up with some suggestion on how Fire Spells can be improved.

1)Living Bomb.

I get that this is a weapon skill, but I'm counting it as a Fire spell because I believe this skill could function better as part of the elemental tree.

For it to work, it must be reworked based on the following concept:

Plant a seed of Fire inside an enemy, which grows over a duration. When the duration expires, the seed explodes, applying Fire Exposure to the target and all nearby enemies.

Optional Effect to add to this skill: This skill consumes Power Charges to

This skill will take the place of Fireball within the Elemental Skill line requiring an Uncut Skill Gem of Level 9.

2)Incinerate

Incinerate becomes a Wand Skill for an item called the Pyrophorite Wand because it's mechanic is too much of a niche and doesn't mesh well with the current meta.

Also, as a Wand, this could be paired with a focus, and if you roll both items to increase Fire Damage by at least 40%, then the resulting damage might be high enough for this to be worth it.

3)Flameblast

Turn this into either a totem or a trap and remove the interaction with Solar Orb because of the following reasons.

a)The combo is viewed as impractical for when playing either the campaign in Cruel mode or when doing end game content because you get stunned way to often

b)The combo comes online very late and can't be enjoyed when the game is easy enough for this to work.

c)The combo feels as if it's designed to be played in a group setting, with someone providing crowd control while you channel safely. Most people don't play this game as a group because there isn't enough reward to justify this.

Also, minion builds don't have enough gem space to warrant running this combo, because of the effort of making this combo work isn't worth the damage it generates.

For this to work, we need to make this skill unlockeable with a Uncut Skill Gem of Level 11, so it becomes more accessible to hybrid classes like Monk,Druid,Shadow and Templar.

Too compensate for this, we make Firestorm unlockeable with a Uncut Skill Gem of Level 13, because that fits the fantasy of ultimate fire elemental spells better and because not many people use this.

4)Solar Orb and Fireball.

I'm putting these two together because they will have a synergy between them.

First, we improve the range at which you can spawn this, so you can generate aggro better.

Secondly, when this skill is hit by Fireball, it applies Fire Exposure to the enemies in the area.

Why Exposure? Because it's a debuf needed to keep fire damage competitive with high level enemies.

In regards to Fireball...when this doesn't hit a Solar Orb, it's a giant ball of fire which splashes on impact, damaging nearby enemies and creating a patch of burning ground.

Ideally, we should keep combo pieces, unlockable with the same type of skill gem so players can learn the playstyle of blasting solar orbs for maximum damage as soon as possible.

So as the TL;DR, I can summarise these changes as follows:

Incinerate:Made a Wand skill, because it's too niche of a skill to justify wasting skill gems on it, while allowing players to stack +%fire damage to make it deal more damage.

No longer a skill gem which can be unlocked with an Uncut Gem of minimum Level 5

Living Bomb:Made into a skill gem which can be unlocked with an Uncut Gem of minimum Level 9

Solar Orbs and my itteration of Fireball are skills which can be unlocked with an Uncut Gem of minimum Level 5

Flameblast, made into a skill gem which can be unlocked with an Uncut Gem of minimum Level 11, but now counts as either Totem or Trap (GGG choses in what it will be turned into)

Firestorm, made into a skill gem which can be unlocked with an Uncut Gem of minimum Level 13, because not many people use it, while fitting the fantasy of the highest form of fire magic attainable.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I didn't give any damage numbers here because it's up to GGG to find numbers that work with the concepts provided, if they are appreciated.
