Is Ray of Frost [ddi] now redundant when Stone Blood [ddi] is available?
So we have Ray of Frost hitting a single creature:
At-Will Arcane, Cold, Evocation, Implement
Standard Action Ranged 10
Target: One creature
Attack: Intelligence vs. Fortitude
Hit: 1d6 + Intelligence modifier cold damage, and the target is slowed until the end of your next turn.
Level 21: 2d6 + Intelligence modifier cold damage.
versus Stone Blood hitting up to 27 creatures (if they'd be nice enough to arrange themselves in 3 x 3 x 3 cube):
At-Will Arcane, Implement, Transmutation
Standard Action Area burst 1 within 10 squares
Target: Each creature in the burst
Attack: Intelligence vs. Fortitude
Hit: 1d6 + Intelligence modifier damage, and the target is slowed until the end of your next turn.
