So FFB and Fireball were pretty close in overall damage prior to this last patch.
they both costed the same mana, had the same cast times, and dealt the same damage. Only difference was 5% crit on your spam spell VS. the extra DoT from FFB.
With the 6% nerf to fireball, is it better to run FFB now since they were soooo close?
FFB again?

Portalcakes, FFB does less damage then fireball. (as stated on the tool tip) I'm assuming you found that on elitistjerks. I'm not sure why they posted that they do the same damage.
Just to ensure tooltips werent out of date i personally tested this. Spamming nothing but FFB unbuffed for 100 cast i did an average hit of 16.4k and a crit of 36k.
Spamming nothing but fireball ubuffed i averaged 17.2k fireball hits and 38k crits. Thats quite a big jump. i know 100 isnt really a large sample to gather from, but i was simply trying doing this to canfirm, not so much to test.
If you factor in the glyph then fireball becomes the clear winner.
