this is true if attacking only one mob, if 2 or 3 present will do 60 on each.

#Oreally, Posted: Dec 29 2002 at 10:48 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I guess you agree then that saying this spell does 60hp damage is wrong? Is that right? Or do you just like to flame people for your own measly pride?

To answer your question...

No, this spell does not divide its damage among all it targets.

All targets within its radius (whether friend or foe) will recieve the full 60 points of poison damage (minus resists).

But...

This spell has a worse damage per mana ratio on a single target than Tainted Breath (Shaman's lowest ratio DoT) but if a second MoB (or more) is present to take the damage, it jumps to a damage/mana ratio that is higher than Envenomed Breath (@lvl 24)

Therefore...

The key to this spell is making sure you're using it on crowd of MoBs... if you're soloing singles, or your group is single pulling MoBs, don't bother with spell unless the MoB has to be dead now... and I mean now... as this spell isn't very mana efficient on single MoBs.

Hope this helped...
