Ice Flame

[Weizen Heimer]

<DIV>I never see anyone mention this spell. It is a spell that can be purchased by Warlocks or Wizards at lvl 35. I bought the App IV version at 35 for about 1-2GP. I am now at lvl 41, and if i cast the spell on a lvl 43-45 mob that has not been debuffed by a Wizard it hits for around 600; if the mob is debuffed, it hits for around 700. It does have a long recast time, but it fits in my chain nuking pattern nicely while I am waiting on recast timers for other nukes. My usual patter is ND, BSS, HVB, Ice Flame, BSS, HVB, ND, BSS, HVB (I lead off with Chaotic Maelstrom and Curse of Emptiness against 2^^ mobs to avoid aggroing) I play in the same group of 6 all the time, so in any normal encounter up to lvl 45 the encounter is always over by the end of this chain.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have also experimented with pulling with this spell because it does a 60% snare. If you pull with it from max range (which is short) you can get off FM before the mob reaches you.</DIV>

Something to add about this spell.  This is the ONLY spell that lands on mobs for me on raids.  Granted, I'm 42 and I've been raiding 52+ mobs, but still, it's something to keep in mind -- it nearly never resists.

<P>I also found this spell recently, and it has entered into my regular chain. The main issues for me with this spell are the short range and the long recast. At 36, it is doing just a bit shy of noxious bolt adept 1.</P> <P> </P> <P>Anshar</P>

Bought this spell last night as Adept3.....it creates 400+ damage, just enough for that additional tick I would miss when doing writs in LS. I can kill much faster now.

I just upgraded this spell to adept3 last night, and it does between 300-350 per tick, so 600-700 damage w0w! <div></div>

<DIV>Ditto.. Adept 3.  Really upgrade it... or buy it that way.</DIV>
