And for a little more clarification on how this spell works. It is capped at 4 hits of damage total. I have no idea where that whole '3 waves of dmg to all mobs' is coming from and why it still says that.
If you have one mob it will hit it every tick for 4 ticks for 60dmg each time (or adjusted for what ever resists may be). If you have 2 mobs it will hit each twice (for a total of 4 hits, or 2 on each). If you have 3 mobs they will each be hit once for the first round and then a tick later only 1 will be hit giving you a total of 4 hits. With 4 or more mobs there will be only 1 hit when you cast the spell and it will only be on your target and 3 others, no waves, no "all mobs"

It is kind of annoying because the spell is capped at only 4 targets despite saying all.
For many years I was told that shamans spells were max of 4. I wasn't sure until i started pling another shaman.. i mean in truth my first shaman never ever used this junk.
However, i dont care how perfectly they are stacked. i dont care how many i pull, no matter what, it never hits more then 4 + me period, ever.
Lame..

I'm guessing this is a 'rain' type spell. These spells are AE and have few ticks. They are'nt considered DoTs because if a creature moves out of the AEs radius then it doesn't take damage from subequent ticks.

This spell will do 60 points of damage per tick for three ticks unless resisted. if your only getting 40 points of dmg i would guess that you skill is low.
Skill has nothing to do with how much damage the spell does. Skill effects fizzle rate. The level of you and the mob, as well as the target's resistances, determine whether the spell hits for its full damage or is resisted entirely.

This spell is capable of doing 180 hp damage and should be considered DoT that doesn't last long. It does 60 points per tick for three ticks.

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

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...

Posted: Dec 28 2002 at 12:09 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The damage done by this spell is 40 hit points times 3. I have tested it enough times to know for a fact. I believe it crosses the line between DD and DoT spells in that it is a DoT but doesn't last very long at all. You could say it does 40hp direct damage and then 40 per tick for two ticks. Either way 60 is just plain wrong as is 180 (I'm not gonna say where I've seen that figure).
No, if you watch the damage messages, you can clearly see that this spell is actually three waves of a maximum of 60 points damage for each wave that is checked against the target's Poison Resist.
If you're seeing numbers less than that, it is due to partial resists, as the resist is checked three times, once at the open of each wave - with each wave being 1 tick (or 6 seconds) apart.
