>It's not a true multishot spell either, like say fire shards. It behaves like a traditional single hit tm spell with 'collateral damage' which seems to be a weaker hit to a random secondary location.
Ah, yeah, I think I was remembering it incorrectly. So, it's a less effective AoE than USOL, basically.
>ACS and USOL are more general hunting/scripting spells, but BLB seems to be (from what I can tell) the highest base damage template per mana that Necros have, barring a high stealth bonus from Vivisection. The vitality cost is meager and easily worked around, it's just not a spray and pray spell like normal TM spells.
I haven't done any testing, but afaik, it's not on any special template? It hits whatever is engaged, sort of, maybe following Fire Ball logic, but only hitting each target once?
>Necros only have five target spells anyways. ACS/USOL are your standard arrows, Viv is the poisoned assassin's dart, SV is the specialty arrow, and BLB is the cannon ball. They all have their place IMO.
ACS and USOL are not 'standard arrows'. ACS is your standard TM. USOL is your cycle aoe. I'd say Vivi is our heaviest hitter given the stealth buff, and SV is useful in a few circumstances. I would not call BLB a cannonball, but like I said, I haven't done any testing with hit.
My recollection was other than the messaging (which is fantastic), the spell was simply replaced by USOL as a TM trainer and corpse producer, and the vitality cost, though minimal, meant no spamming.
