Quadding spells (Lightning Strike, etc) only hit up to 4 mobs at a time. They will hit your target + 3 close mobs.

If I could do more than 4 trust me I would!

Also as a tangential note--the reason druids don't use Rain spells (Blizzard, etc) is because the rain spell is only active where the enemy was when you cast it, even snared they walk out of range of it very quickly.

For some reason, those spells are also tremendously easy to resist and in my experience the monsters resist it as a unit, not individually, either that or I've just been very unlucky.

I have wondered though if it's possible to efficiently do a sort of "duo'ing" kite, since the Rain spells only hit up to 4 times, you could hit two rooted targets near eachother twice for pretty huge DPM. Maybe I'll give that a whirl soon...

Yeah =( ... I also looked up the mana ratios, even getting 2 targets rooted next to eachother for the rain effect is way less mana -> damage ratio than hitting 4 targets with lightning blast. Def not worth it.

What a bummer, the rain spells are an interesting mechanic that are pretty horribly designed.

they work well if you're on blue... but not at all if youre on red, though they do great DPS on an idiot.

Do you happen to know if they have some kind of resist modifier to be very easy to resist? I was quadding spirocs for awhile, and for fun I'd load up Avalanche, and noticed that it would _frequently_ be resisted against all 3 possible targets on the first wave (second / third waves missed due to mobs moving).

Enjoyable videos! All the "mistakes/mishaps" made it fun to watch

yeah i dont know how resist mods work but I do know what spells resist a lot vs what dont and rain resist quite a bit more than regular spells.
