Is it worth it to go for dan ranks on firebolt?
As the topic says im wondering wether the dan ranks on firebolt are worth it since there seems to be only a small increase between firebolt r1 and dan 3, where the increase is much better on both lightningbolt and icebolt.

Higher damage is what it is, but if you're chaincasting, the increased Mana cost might be a deal breaker.
At Dan 3 it's quite literally 6 more max damage - So however much more damage at max stacks it is for 3 more mana.. And, y'know, however much more mana it is for CC+4
Rank 1 magic weapon mastery
Rank 1 bolt mastery
Rank 1 fire mastery
No combo card affecting firebolt
No hebona set
+150% crit modifier
You'd be adding a whole 273 damage to your fully charge firebolt crits and that's before magic protection reduces your damage. If you simply want to get your skills to Dan 3 or if you've reached a point where that is genuinely the most worthwhile way to get stronger, then go for it but don't expect to get much out of it.
Even if you've got a perfect setup for firebolt (hebona set effect, 85% combo card, r7 tribolt, 50 renown with Yvona, the new crit homestead thingy, level 20 bolt and fire mastery reforges against an enemy with no magic protection) then the jump from rank 1 to Dan 3 still only adds 555 damage.
Basically, magic damage is calculated in a stupid way (though not as bad as alchemy) which means that danning most spells is actually pretty inconsequential.
