Nice to see the devs provided us with new levels of aoe dd's. There have been expansions in the past where they totally neglected these spells, seemingly indicating they were programming against quad- and quint-kiting.

I tried to quint a pack of DB dorfs in one of the new xpac outdoor zones. Ran entirely OOM while they were at about 25%. Clearly they have tons of hit points because I can quint mobs in the earlier xpac in 5 minutes and have most of my mana left at the end. But those are only LB. They still give decent aaxp.

I was also close to having to re-snare them as I was running out of time on my 15 minute ensnare spell. Always hated having to resnare a pack of mobs. It's a pain to do, and it indicates the quint is taking far too long.

BTW, just spent 200 AA's to max out the focus (two more levels) on this spell. That's how valuable it is for quinting. I havent even maxed out all the other new crit and damage focus aa's but this one is key. Extra 5% to base damage, to 5 mobs, enhanced by crit focii and igniting burn options, is uber.
