with use of this spell u cannot cast another pb ae spell for as long as the recast timer is up on this spellgem after cast. stupid stupid. ITS BAD ENOUGH THAT OUR AE AND PB AE spells <which is a huge area of our wizardly talents> DOES NOT RECIEVE ANY FOCUS BONUS but NOW we gotta wait refresh times before we cast?
yup useless unless

yup useless unless u are pulling a few mobs like murkgliders in nc or faction raids in ds. these longer cast time spells are very useful for when u have a chanty handy for pb ae stuns and mezes. you would be foolish to cast this infront of full-zone pull because the long cast time would make u almost prone to interuption. when pullin zones of lowbs i suggest circle of fire and j'ylls wave of heat.
useless......

true...a slow cast, yet soo much dmg...to an unlimited amount of mobs...obviouly the best nuke to start off one heck of chain pb Ae's...just another way to destroy an entire zone...chain pull...destroy...useless..i say for farming hundreds of lowerlevel mobs...this is the best, get sum speed...use staff of elementall flux clicky on an entire zone....dmg shields up...cast n cast n cast away

Would own carnaiv

completly useless spell, 1.5 ratio compared to dropable circle of fire nearly 2 ratio.

It's not useless because the ratio is less. It's more damage per blast. Granted, it takes longer to cast, but hey. It's like the Winds of Gelid of OoW, I guess. No, it's not the uberest nuke in the book, but it's useful nonetheless.

Only useless if your primary concern is dmg / mana ratio and are unconcerned about resist-type. In situations where you want a heck of a lot more dps, this is by far the best AE spell in the game. Useless? i think not

when you want more dps, circle of fire combined with jyl's wave of heat is by far your best bet. with a 6 second cast time on this spell and a recast time of 12 seconds there is no way this spell even matches the dps of those 2 in combo, each with a 2 second cast time and a recast time of 6. do the math.
