Wizard Rain Spells

[Stonewallx39]

So the wiki says “resist gambling” but I follow Solusek Ro and so love to play with fire. Is anyone else using rain spells as a wizard? I’m 56 now and really like melting mobs with my best rain spell. 1935 dmg for 408 mana is nothing to sneeze at.

I understand there are some serious Z axis risks (I don’t use in PoFear) and the potential to pull aggro, but I’m a patient dark elf.

Any downsides I should be aware of or good reason to steer clear those wiser and more seasoned could share with me? Or can I continue to dabble with the dark side and melt giant’s faces off?
