[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9335705, member: 7030563"] If you hit 3, which is not common unless you are an evoker and while the damage is the same the math doesn't account for the tactical situation. Dealing 30 damage to 1 enemy is generally going to be better than dealing 44 total to two enemies as long as they have more than 30hps each, because of its effect on action economy. It is also why if you can get 3+ in Fireball you are better using something like Hypnotic Pattern and doing no damage, because of the effect it has on action enconomy. Compared to other spells a whole lot typically I think. Even hitting 5 it is probably still behind using a summons like Summon Fey or Summon Shadowspawn unless they are really low hps that are going to be killed from it. It is really good for this, but I almost never see this except on an Evoker who can frag his allies (and never specifically put it in). [/QUOTE]
