Fire/Ice Blaster Guide V2.0 [I11]
Just FYI: It's not cheap anymore. They run about 100 mill per recipe. Still relatively inexpensive compared to some other purples but cheap? No longer.

It would be nice if it actually worked like that. On rains, the procs trigger once every 10 secs. So on a 15 second rain of fire, it has two procs. Given that it has a 20% chance of knockdown per enemy each proc... Sadly, I don't think it's worth it. It would have been great (and horribly broken) if it made rain of fire into a damage dealing ice patch, but it does not.
You are missing one very important part of Rain of Fire...Armagedon +chance for knockdown. While it is a purple, it is a very cheap purple (3-5mil) and it transforms RoF from a pain-in-the-butt mob-scattering agro-magnet into a good control power.
With a 20% chance of hitting every .5 seconds, whole groups of enemies will be flopping around like fish. Most won't even have a chance to get a shot off at you before flopping again. Over the course of RoF's 15 second duration, you should be able to wipe out the whole group with your AoEs. |
