According to the survey results, many are in favor of Chaos magic. Please explain how to effectively use it for a Demon. Maybe I'm missing something...
Actually, I never took Chaos magic, especially before the release of "Tribes of the East," because I always tried to level up to Supreme Archmage (SA). For Demons, it wasn't difficult at all, as I didn't need to take any extra perks.
In 3.0, the path to SA was slightly complicated, and I decided to try other leveling paths (in particular, I tried Light and Chaos magic). So, I can say that Chaos magic itself isn't really needed for a Demon, but without it, you can't take Fireball (I don't remember if it's called something else), and it turns out to be a very useful skill - units deal additional fire damage (I don't remember exactly, but it seems up to 30-45%), and that, I agree, is very strong.
So, you can take basic Chaos magic and this perk - only 2 extra levels, and the benefit is quite noticeable.
