Blizzard master destruction spell

[Abyssian]

Is it just me, or that spell is really weak? It says 30 dmg in 10 seconds. I compared it with mara's wrath, expert destruction spell, it says 16 per second damage. When i tried both, mara's wrath does more damage than blizzard, which is stupid because blizzard should be endgame master spell. What's the deal?

Maybe cuz you have to pay for it? Mara's Wrath is CC content.
Even if Blizzard is only 10 seconds it does do 300 damage in those 10 seconds. However because it is a low DoT and static though large location enemies with magic and or forst resistance who can also move out of the range will take less.

Mara's Wrath on the other hand is a cloak spell, and fire, more enemies are effected by fire than frost. Both still pale in comparison to lightning storm.

I tried it on many enemies, even those who are not cold resistant. Mara's 16 per second was ALWAYS faster in life taking than blizzard's 30 per second. Which is really weird. But when it comes to damage, unbound storm is the best. It kills all enemies around you in mere seconds, even draugr deathlords. It even stopped to be funny with that spell, so i using for one on one combat an elemental blast. 160 dmg in one dual cast.

All the master spells are useless.

Pretty much yeah. I agree. The most useful master spells are illusion ones. Cast mayhem and loot the chests while others kills each others. :)
