Hi.
I have a question about Ember in a Bottle talisman and it's spell damage bonus. It seems that it can add some really nice amount of damage for a high level character. However, I read that after reaching specific number, spell's damage starts growing much slower. Does it mean that later (I want to reach level 70+ at least) it's better to switch talismans, or formula for spell damage isn't that harsh, and bonus damage will still be noticeable?
Please share your experience.

Has nothing to do with the talisman. Some spells have soft caps and anything that would push the damage above that cap is reduced.

I don't think Firestorm has a cap, and from my experience as a high level Elemental, can deal huge damage.

Each skill behaves differently. Some examples: Firestorm has no cap, so spell damage bonus always helps. Ice Bolt is soft capped - any damage above 60 is square rooted. Throw Sparks is hard capped - it wont do over 15+3*SkillPoints damage.

Thank you for your answers. I was afraid that by using Ember talisman I would be hindering my char's abilities, but now I'm relieved.
