Synergy Effects

  • A Blizzard spell will immediately quench any grease fire and douse anyone caught in flames.
  • The effects of Grease Fire and Inferno do not stack.

Passive Effects

Learning this ability does not grant additional passive effects.


Threat

Threat describes the amount of hate an action generates on it's target. Abilities that inflict damage always generate threat proportional to the amount of damage dealt.

  • This ability does not generate additional threat.


Role

Grease is a great low level utility spell to slow down approaching enemies while the parties ranged attackers pelt them with arrows and spells. In combination with any kind of spell that causes fire damage over time, this spell becomes a powerful area damage dealer and causes many types of enemies to scatter out of formation, trying to flee the effects.

Use of this spell can be tricky due to friendly fire on higher difficulties.
