Blood rain

[Dank Man Dan]

Anyone able to tell me when blood rain will come in handy? Just acquired the skill and unsure apart from putting out fires

Its very useful for Necro casters. With Torturer, it also allows you to apply bleeding to a wide area. You may also find some fire that can't be put out by normal means that may find it a purpose.

It can make necro spells cost one ap less with elemental affinity.

blood rain, decaying touch, then blood sucker can do a lot of damage!

It's probably the best spell for utilising Grasp of the Starved for major AoE Physical Damage. Especially with Flesh Sacrifice + Apotheosis, fully buffing with Int, Crit + Savage Sortiledge can lead to near 1-shots on even Tactician. Best done on an Elf for Flesh Sacrifice + Elemental Affinity.

I use with Torture talent to remove fortify from enemies, then grasp of dead

Early on before you start getting access to more powerful source spells it's quite useful.

once you get physical armour down
Decaying touch -> Blood Rain -> Blood Sucker
will deal massive damage

Of course the other use is with Blood Sucker for healing undead/allies/summons

you can use it on the guy in outside of braccus tower with bless to remove his fire curse and talk to him to open a portal

My current combo, torturer and affinity: elf hunger (+1 ap), blood rain(-1ap, bleeding to every enemy, removes fortify for massive loss of armour), mosquito swarm (-1 ap), backlash to close melee(-1), decaying touch(-1),blood sucker(-1) for massive damage on decayed guy. (Or if anyone needs a heal, skip blacklash &decaying touch and use bouncing shield and blood sucker the injured party member)

Eventually I’ll add: earth skill spam (including fun things like chains, turn to oil, oil to armour, fortify, blow up armour (sorry I don’t recall the skill names, only what they do lol) - both turn to oil and contamination create instant earth affinity from the previous blood.
