That wasn’t me 
I know for a fact they do as plenty of my suggestions have made it into the game.
This change, while a sign that they’re going in the right direction, is essentially meaningless. It still can’t kill trash in ultimate in one shot. It’s just a bit easier to hit something.
Can’t currently confirm. Alliteration.
But if I get around to trying a chaos based build and this is true, it’ll be more why I’d add %chaos resist reduction, effectively making the spell a fight opener. And I might buff it’s dmg too after that if it’s still not worth getting. Hmm.
I can confirm that with one point it’s worthless by late elite. I never tried putting more points in it since, well, it sucks so much. With the toning down of mobs in this latest update it might now kill white mobs with 12 points invested. Still not exactly an efficient use of points in my opinion.
Edit: with about 1100% vit dmg and 500% chaos dmg, 1 point with 1 from an item, it can’t one shot a lowly mosquito in act 1 ultimate. So it probably can kill it if you have it at 12/12. Stuff is pretty weak in 1.0.0.2
