Hellball

[Sokól]

This is interesting, thanks for that testing.
I too have seen the cold damage proc, but not always. Your explanation makes as much sense as any, and it feels about right.

As to the OP's question:
I have been running this spell on my evo specced sorc and I still haven't decided 100% if it's worth it or not.
The damage it does varies greatly and sometimes it's totally worth the sp, sometimes not even close.

Still, it's a fun tool to have when you are max dps'ing a boss or a room full of bad guys.

MY question is how come this 'epic spell' is so weak graphically? It's like the fantastic graphic designers they have at Turbine didn't have a chance to touch these, and the effects were made by an intern who didn't care and went "Meh, good enough!".

Could not agree more it is kind of like a slow projectile or something could use more work there.

But to the topic I was really impressed at first when I got this spell but it is hard to get it to doublestrike and just uses to many sp, I only use it now when I can manadump on a boss.

...there is a way to 100% doublestrike hellball so you get get the aoe to proc twice. ...

How do you do 100% doublestrike to get the AoE to proc twice?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you just have to be right in the mobs face to get it to hit twice.

Edit: Pretty sure it is a bug that it hits again, but let's hope they never fix it, because without it then hellball does no more damage then a level 3 fireball.

Is Energy Burst range close enough or do you need to literally be right up to it with the mob just in front of you?
