Question about Conjurer's AoE spell lines

NIT · 06-30-2005, 10:57 PM

I am interested in starting a Conjurer and had a question about the AoE DoT spell lines. Are these AoE encounter specific or do they AoE an area? Thanks for the help Fazz

They are all encounter specific.

Thanks Blitzrain, that is good news...

It's semi-good news I would say - nothing as horrid as casting a long cast duration AE-DoT on a target and finding the target dies before your spell cast time has ended and it not landing...

.... so dont cast it on a dead mob Part of the skill of being a conj i.e support mage is casting the damage where it will be most effective during any given encounter. Casting a DOT on a mob thats nearly dead is like casting aqueous hunters on a mob with 5% HP. Adapt and overcome.

It happens on mobs that are near full health as well - you pick that one, the others in the group happen to focus on it too because the first target is down and the mob's down before the AE-DoT can land - had it happen plenty of times. Solo it's perfectly doable - in a group it's pretty unpredicatable and thus frustrating...

when grinding out writs you will many times grab 2 or 3 mobs that are really 3 encounters and dots just hit one. Then you wish it was a true total encounter area spell
