This spell, similar to the mage rain spells will damage 4 times. 2 mobs will get two waves and both get damaged, one mob will get hit once on 3 waves, and 3 mobs will ge hit one wave, and then a random one of the three will get hit once on the second wave.
Spells of this anture will hit 3-4 monsters once or 2 monsters twice or one monster 3 times....

I decided to try this spell out after reading some of these posts and I was kinda surprised. I had my buddy pull about 20 green mobs and herd them back to me. I waited a few second to let him get aggro with his DS and then I cast this bad boy. I noticed one wave hit 4 mobs.. and that was it. I was kinda expecting more waves but never happened. So, I decided to try it out on a single target and I found the results to be more satisfactory.. this time it hit in three waves of 540 for some serious damage. I tried it a few more times with minimal resists on the waves, so I suggest using it on mobs with poor resists or who have been debuffed. Forget the crowd use it on a single and see for yourself! Happy hunting :)
If your evocation isnt high enuff you can easily fizzle half your mana ( or more ) trying to cast this. Even so when it's successful, it has only a 150' range and all 4 waves cannot hit one target. However, a troll shaman with the snare necklace could conceivable quad kite with this with maxed evocation if he were REALLY patient. Dont count on it tho, I have 1-2 waves resisted every cast on dark blue goranga which Bane of Nife will land 95% of the time. This spell may be useful in an AE group but most shaman wont ever wind up in an AE group untill 55+ or possible 58 when we get our AE slow. This spell is in the back of my spell book, only use is killing hordes of greenies or maybe PL'ing someone who overpulls.

The Troll snare necklace's effect lasts only 36 seconds and takes 6 seconds to cast. It's very annoying to kite even a single mob with it; quad kiting would be pretty impossible.

As with most new lvl spells, you have a greater chance to fizzle, by I think I read 5%, and that gets lower as you improve your Evocation in this case, but there's always a chance to fizzle with it maxed at level, as far as kiting with this spell, not a good return on damage vs mana consumption, this is a stationary spell, which means mobs have to be standing in one spot , not on the move to get the full effect of the spell, and then you still have at least one or 2 waves resisted most of the time, if you have them snared , you maybe lucky enough to catch a couple with the second wave of the spell, and there's a good chance it will get resisted anyway. Where I can see this spell as a benefit , is on a finishing spell, if your with a druid and they are kiting, and mobs have become stationary post 20% hp, could easlily finish them off quickly, instead of wait on dots to do it. just my 2cp =)
I was throwing this spell around last night on a guild raid.
I am unclear on if it hits in 3 waves like the previous poison storm line or not, the description isn't clear on that point, and it certainly didn't seem to work quite like the previous spells. Maybe the resist is just higher. Possibly it only hits once, but hits whatever walks into the area...
Still, if you can hit 4 mobs with it, for 2160 damage total for 380 mana, it's fantastic!
Fizzles a lot.
