• Critical strike chance: Each projectiles roll own critical strike chance.
• Cast speed: Only affects the speed to create a geyser. Fire frequency is not changed.
• Area of effect: Affects both the area the projectiles cover and the distance they travel from the geyser.
• Projectile speed: Faster projectiles land sooner after they are fired. AoE is not changed.
• Pierce and Chain: Don't affect the skill.
• The Projectiles are fired per second, so increasing the Duration of the skill increases the total number of Projectiles. (If you make Cremation have a Duration of 12 seconds, you will get a total of 48 Projectiles.)
