Inferno Master 2 - bugged?

[cairnsb]

One of the traits I choose was Inferno Master 2.

 

When I go to use it on a MOB, I get "target is invalid" or some other wierd message.

 

But if the MOB is right in front of me then the spell works fine.

 

Seems to be a distance thing...instead of saying "to far away" it throws up some random error message.

 

Also I think the randge needs to be increased drastically.

It took me a while to figure this out, too.  Its not broken, its been heavily changed.   It is now point blank range AND it is no longer target-specific.  When you cast it, it will hit ALL mobs adjacent to you, in about a 10 meter radius, going by game distance.   A very dangerous spell to use now, and one I am increasingly not using.  You will notice the background of the key for it is now blue, and not green like your other AOE spells.  Given that range is a wizard's only real defense, I hope they alter this in the very near future; otherwise, it'll be yet another of the many spells I've had to pull from my hotkey bars

This spell is point blank and is very useful, especially in groups of solo mobs.  I found myself using more aoe last night than I ever have before.

Yea it took me a couple casts to realize they changed this to a PBAOE type spell...it would have been way more usuful as an encounter AE even if it was limited to 5 mobs.  I dont mind being slightly out DPS on multiple tagets by 10% or so, but it appears that looking thru our AE spells that were gonna be horribly out DPS since there are alot more multiple encounters now in DOF and raids so its not even gonna be close.  The arguement that we can make up the difference with nukes is not valid since our power consumption now is horrible with no real effective way to replenish power to keep our dps up...this will push us even farther back on the dps scale.  This spell being changed to point blank is silly because who wants to run up in melee range and take the chance of being one shotted by AE or barrage. In xping groups it sounds usuable, but in raid situations, I dont see it being effective.

This is a dangerous spell.

 

Last night while fighting in the zone pillars of fire - a group of us was hunting windstalker sisters level 55 ^^^

 

right next to them there were ashen disciples also 55 heroic (all of them).

 

Both times I used inferno master - it did great damage but it aggro'd everything around us and it was a disaster.

 

I do not recommend using this spell in close proximity to other mobs.

  I personally like this spell, although it IS dangerous. If I remember correctly the range is 7.5m so all you have to really do is learn where that range is, and fire it off at will if you have a safe radius. I managed quite impressive damage last night. The tactic I was using was: let the tank pull, then run up to the tanks position, cast Inferno, then move back to starting position. Cast a debuff, then frostshied on myself, drop a big nuke... then repeat. By the time the tank moved on to next mob it was mostly around half health.   I think this spell is most useful on the first 10-15 seconds of fight where you can get the most dps out of it from the number of mobs standing, once they start dropping dead though, switch to heavy debuffing and nukes. In 4 hours of gameplay with almost constant fighting, I never once pulled agro off the tanks. I imagine I will be using this spell... it gives a big bang for the buck so to speak.
