Hellfire -- umm, I must be missing a crucial point somewhere
Granted, I am only level 31 ATM but ... even if I start full health, sac my voidwalker and take no other outside damage I will die from this spell alone. Using a healthstone or potion breaks the channel and stops the spell. I fail the see how to use this spell other than a few specific contrived cases -- even then a case could be built for using other tactics with a higher survival rating. Am I missing something here? Are we suposed to be taking full damage from the spell or is it currently bugged, perhaps? I'm just kinda befuddeled over this one. |

How many hitpoints do you have? I think Hellfire is a tactic used mostly by warlocks who have tried to max out stamina. Also, it is apparently only useful in specific circumstances. That's pretty much the warlock theme - lots of spells with very specific uses, some more narrow than others. |

Are you grouping or trying to use it solo? You really need someone healing you to get the most out of it. |

I use it all the time in places like Sunken Temple in Swamp of Sorrows and at times in BRD. I always have a healthstone and heal potion ready plus tell the priest that you will need heals. Most time I chain it back to back ..prolly 3 or 4 times. Depending on the mobs hp's. Usually we have a mage doing his AE's as well :D |

This is the only time I ever use or could see a spellstone being used. |

Hellfire -- umm, I must be missing a crucial point somewhere
I got mixed up the other day when we had some adds and hit Hellfire instead of Rain of Fire... wowzers did I start to drop quickly. The only times I see it as really a possibility is when you have those adds, but they are almost dead, ie you just need to finish them off. I'm not sure about the Warlocks who went all stamina, but my HP's aren't too bad and I know I could never use it solo or without a healer. I've heard that with a Priest's Power Word : Shield, a Voidwalker ready to sacrifice and other pre-prepared plans you can get off a full channel of hellfire... ;)

hellfire at level 30 causing 83*15 damage= 1245 to you and your enemy. tick is 1sec and i believe every 1 sec it has chance to crit (correct me if critical hit is only possible at initial hit) so it could be higher than 1245 (full duration channeling, if you have 0 fire resistance)

Most of the time its only used for high level instantces. At level 51 I hit for 151 a second and most of the time I only do it if the group knows we are going to do it and we have a priest for the shield. Otherwise I wouldn't suggest using it. In pvp its hardly a option because your taking damage from it plus damage from the person attacking you. So basically in pvp use it to kill people 20 level's below you =p, But even then its funner to take out a sword and melee them to death. |
