Compare it for example to myth colossus, 880 dmg to all and remove ALL shields from ALL enemies for 5 pips + shadow. Now take bull which is a fire spell that is suposed to be stronger than myth. 775-900 and -25% acc to all enemies for 6 pips + shadow. The colossus is right between the min-max of the bull and his effect is way better, plus 6 pips bull and 5 pips mystic. Fire should get a higher dmg even if its the same pip amount but it even cost one MORE pip so what is going on here? No one cares about it? It should be changed in my opinion to like 900- 1100 or at least get the smoke screen to a REALL smoke screen -40%.
