Notes

  • This is considered an offensive spell, so it cannot be cast when Healing Aura is active.
  • This damage is dealt to every enemy within the AoE per 4s, unlike Firestorm, which only drops one bolt of fire at any part of the AoE every second.
  • Damage per strike is low, therefore it cannot be relied upon to interrupt enemy actions.
  • Lightning-based spells do not cause friendly fire damage on Nightmare difficulty.
  • The wide AoE and the friendly fire-proof nature of the spell makes it convenient for flushing rogues (though not necessarily Elite-ranked Assassins) out of stealth before they can get into position, although this works much better with the upgrade.
