<P>Hello,</P> <P> </P> <P>The spell you got was Conflagaration (Inferno Line).   The spell is a point blank Area Effect spell  (PBAE).   That means when you cast its, kinda draw an invivsible circle around where you are standing.   Everything in the circle gets hit by the spell.  This includes every mob, aggro, non aggro.  Also the mobs can or cannot be in the same group.</P> <P>This differs from the Group Area Effect spells  (GAE).   This one affects all members in a group upto a maximum of usually 5 members.</P> <P>The spell is line is a follows:</P> <P>Conflagaration > Pyre (2<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  > Inferno (44) > Fiery Inferno (5<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>At level 44, you can choose inferno as your training choice.</P>

<DIV>Awesome, </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So these are probably my most potent spells:</DIV> <DIV>Conflagaration (14) > Pyre (2<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  > Inferno (44) > Fiery Inferno (5<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>--</DIV> <DIV>Thank you,</DIV> <DIV>Danny.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

most potential anyway.  depends on the situations you find yourself in. man I had some fun with inferno the other night.  I died but I died laughing...and so did my whole group.  I'm level 51 wizzy, and i was cleaning up quests...I still had my EF boat ride to do, so I grabbed a group of friends and away we went.  Well, thing is, that quest is bugged.  None of us could leave the boat one the quest was done.  If you know the quest, you know that you need to click the two clickies in order to stop skeleton mobs from spawning...after the fight we forgot about it and were trying to get off the boat.  POP skeletons mob. So we kill it.  POP another. After about 5 rounds of this, they *really* started popping out.   So I jumped in and used my Inferno AoE.  DEAD SKELETONS EVERYWHERE.  Unfortunately, it didn't completely kill them, and mobs started popping faster and faster.  At the end, we were literally surrounded by (guestimating) 60-80 skeletons, and both healers were dumping mana to keep me alive, Inferno was one hell of an aggro spell.  But man oh man, you should have seen those skellies go down.  500 damagex50 skellies...mwahahahahah.  We all eventually ran out of mana and we all died, but that was the most fun death I can remember ever having! <div></div>

<DIV>Not necessarily.  PBAOE spells are situational being that you have to mind your environment.  These spells can travel through some walls and floors if you are not careful (i had this unfortunate knowledge ingrained into my head after taking on my first faction tower in DoF... Inferno hit the mobs through the floor).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Your favorite is most likely going to be your "Wind" line.  This is an EAOE, or Encounter Area Of Effect.  This will only hit the mobs that you are currently fighting, that are linked to one another.  The Wind line is area based, hits for an initial damage, and ticks down for more damage a few times.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just make sure you are careful with your AOEs.  You can easily draw aggro away from the MT if you are not careful, and if your MT is not taunting like he should be.</DIV>

[TooFarGo]

Good point Sal.  The icy wind is much more useful in normal fighting situations than the true AoE line.  I plan on updating all of my "wind" line to ad3 or higher. <div></div>

<P>It is a nice spell, but not an "most potent" spell, it is highly mana in-efficent (even for a wizard spell). Once you get to the mid 20's you really start to see what we are about.... Single target DD, and tons of it, at 31 I have 3 AOE spells, on direct AOE (pyre the upgrade to immol) chilling wind, and lightning flash(encounter aoe up to 5), sure I can do about 900 damage to all those mobs around me, but I have 3 DD spells and can do upwards of 1700 damage for a fraction of the cost in power and thats one casting at about 1/2 the casting time as firing off all the AOE spells. </P> <P>However that spell is really nice and carried me into about 21-22 once I hit BoF I nvr used it again.</P>
