    The easy answer is yes.

    Yes, but at smaller area than demo.

    It doesn't matter because hox is infinitely cooler than demo.

    Would depend what AoE you think of.

    HoX:

    Hellfire Breath. 180 degree frontal cone
    Tongue of Xotli. 90 degree frontal cone
    Pillar of Flame. 360 degree self centered
    Inferno: 360 degree self centered
    DE/AoX: 360 degree self centered
    Burning Words. 360 degree self centered
    Spreading Flames. Dot jumps to "nearby" enemies
    Chains of Anguish. Frontal line, affects all between target and yourself.

    Demo:

    All spells except Bindings of the Skylord splash on "nearby" enemies. Hellfire Stream and Shock are instant cast.
    Shockblast. 360 degree, point and click
    Inferno of Amher. 360 degree, point and click
    Chaotic Blast. 360 degree, point and click
    Waves of Flame. 90 (180)degree, frontal cone. (ring of fire)
    Detonation. 360 degree

    The best is if you play the game yourself and learn the tricks 1st hand. But it takes more work to burst with HOX and they have longer cooldown on some spells.

    Thanks for the replies. I keep hearing this HoX is THE glass canon of AoC, and given the Demo is kind of the archtype Mage who I would assume is the glass canon I thought I would see what you guys thought.

    For burst I guess I meant blowing all your instants and cooldown spells who puts out the most damage in the first few seconds/casts. I am less interested in sustained damage, and less interested in running through a bunch of combos (which I guess HoX may need for some of their AoE).

    I have a nice group setup, but being an altaholic I am constantly thinking of other classes.

    Thanks again,

    (assuming you pvp) THE glass canon of AOC (as you say) is sin. If you remove canon then yes THE glass of AOC is hox
    Jenyu - Assassin
    Lutheor - Herald Of Xotli
    Destiny
