Word of Force - still useful at 60?

[XBr]

<div></div>I never got Word of Force for my Necro, and I'd probably need a few hours in Splitpaw to get it because the place is deserted nowadays. So, can I get opinions on whether it's worth it? Are you still using it at level 55-60, and if so why? <div></div><p>Message Edited by XBrit on <span class=date_text>10-19-2005</span> <span class=time_text>07:15 PM</span>

<P>pre-revamp it was usefull to have another nuke to finish Ho's.</P> <P>Now that they are on the same timer, i prefer the rot line for the lich proc.</P> <P> </P> <P>Like named said other then the disease immune epics, there is no real use for it</P>

Ah, I didn't realize it's on the same timer as the Rot line. Probly gonna pass on the Splitpaw grind for now.

I used to use it as well when grinding...just for the nuke instead of the DOT of skinrot (quicker damage). That's a moot point now with lich though, as the lich proc will pretty much make them the same. <div></div>

I've found Words of Force does woefully little dmg compared to my other standard cast routine (adept3 skinrot, lifetaps, HOs of any kind... hell my Breath of the unearthed does 300more dmg (+120%) on every mob in the AoE than Words of Force does to the single mob. Mabye I was casing on the wrong mob... in any case, it would be somewhat useful for HO chains against disease/poison resistant mobs, which we really get hammed on. <div></div>
