Notes[]

  • When in auto-fire mode, it takes approximately 0.34 seconds to cast each Magma Spear (measured empirically). The first attack is slower, and takes 0.6-0.8 seconds.
  • Magma Spear inherits Knockback and Chance-to-cast-spells from items/enchantments.
  • Magma Spear does NOT inherit Mana/Health steal from items/enchantments.

Strategy[]

  • Magma Spear is best used against single targets, targets in a line, or targets in confined spaces. In the open or against a crowd, Prismatic Bolt is better.
  • Since Magma Spear applies on hit enchantments and gems, a great way to build DPS is to stack DoT gems and enchantments on your weapons.
  • A great way to stack DPS is to use Magma Spear until it's DoT is up and then switch to another spell.
