Notes
- At low levels, this is usually the warlock's fastest option for dealing damage to groups of mobs. Be aware however that this will generate a large amount of threat.
- Very situational, for it pulls threat and costs Soul Shards. Mainly useful in instances for AoE.
Background
This spell was one of the Conjurer's abilities in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans:
- This is a very powerful spell that combines the natures of flame and water. It calls forth the essence of fire and delivers it through massive thunderheads of vapor and brimstone, creating an actual firestorm. This spell is very destructive, and will cause damage to any foes and buildings in its sphere of influence. Use this spell with care, for the rain of fire knows no friends.[2]
Trivia
- Rain of Fire is one of the spells available to the Pit Lord hero and the Doom Guard unit in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
- Rain of Destruction is one of Gul'dan's Heroic Abilities in Heroes of the Storm. It differs from Rain of Fire in that it summons green fel meteors, each dealing a separate amount of damage.
