alright, some serious discussion (LOL)
i was just thinking ... i actually use a lot of FBlast against casters. so much that i think that it might be worth pushing its damage further at the cost of LS damage.
at the moment, on lvl94, i have 1373-1707 (avrg 1540) FBlast damage when i use mages. my LS damage on cc setup is 11474 (5737.5 avrg) currently and it works very well.
i think i could let that drop to 11106 dmg (5553.5 avrg) by saving 2 more synergies, get a level service to 97 and pack 5 more skills into FBlast for a total of 2320-2789 (2554.5 avrg) damage.
that would push my avrg damage from 1540 to 2555 damage, which is quite a lot.
downsides of this are obviously all duels where i dont use fireblast. i am mainly mainly worrying about the block switch, where i only have 9170 damage at the moment, and by having 2 less syngeries it would surely drop under 9k. which sucks if it's your main damage source. i use this against barbs, zons and smiters.
on the other hand, my LS damage would rise to 12026 on cc and 9611 on ws if i had level 97 and put all remaining points into ls/syns.
i know that this is a subjective decision, still any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated

/you could see this as a kind of compromise of the two builds in daves guide as this will still be max MB of course
