Updated tooltip to show cast time

3. D2R 2.4 Sorc Fire Skill Changes

Sorceress doesn't use fire skills very much, so Blizzard decided to buff them up a bit. This is the case of Blaze, which receives several improvements and even a bonus in walking/running speed. Inferno will also be significantly more interesting at first glance. We also note, and this is important, that Hydras should finally be more efficient and easier to use. Blizzard has indeed removed the casting time and lifted the limit on the number of Hydras to summon.

Inferno

Increase in basic damage and staggering by level of about 75% (in order to compensate for the old erroneous damage calculation)
Increased synergy with Chaleur from 13% to 16%
Updated commands so you can use the skill more freely without being locked to a single target at a time
Reduced mana cost from 7 points to 4 mana points per second
Increase in basic reach by 75%

Blaze
