Flaming Sphere

[EssenceofEvil]

I've tried to like this spell.. but its like good maybe once in awhile..like grouped enemies in a tight corridor anybody have any stories of using this spell with great success? This has to be one of the most worthless of fire spells.

[Pape_27]

never set it on my caster.

maybe it would be good in rainbow? give a little extra light? thats about the only use i can think for it.

[Ngha]

Yeah, unfortunately its one of the best spells for mobs, but one of the worst for players.

Flaming sphere: Summons a ******** fire elemental midget to annoy enemies and the caster too.

Best use of this spell is to cast it just before an "ambush" type spawn as an extra damage source while you're casting other spells. This is really only useful at lower levels, since at higher levels there are much better options for the same effect.

This spell is highly effective when cast from scrolls as a level 2 caster in normal or casual level 2 or less content...

Anything above that, it is worthless.

The spell Flaming Sphere is one with odd and situational value. The sphere itself is a hostile entity, but can't be attacked by non-players, so they can't aggro on the sphere. However, as it "moves" around and causes "sound", monsters are driven to examine the places the sphere goes. This makes it useful for stealth-based characters as a way to shuffle monsters around from where they are standing or group them elsewhere. Being they can't aggro on the Flaming Sphere they can't increase Dungeon Alert in this manner either.

Just when I think MrCow is gone, he comes back and teaches me something else new. We love you MrCow!

Did you know you can cast up to 3 of these at once? One at a time of course.

Using scrolls and you can cast up to 5-10 IIRC.

By the time you cast the 3rd one the mobs are dead cause the mele took them down, still a useless spell, it should be powered to make it worthwhile
