Talk:Deathfire Touch (Season 2016 Mastery)/@comment-4167645-20160113201914

Dont know why they put that restriction on AoE abilities, when almost every poking mage's spells are AoE. The mages that don't poke aren't gonna bother with a DoT and go thunderlords for straight up burst since they're all in.

The reason why no one bought liandries when it came out was because it was half as effective on AoE, and they went for Luden's instead. Same thing here, deathfire touch half as effective on AoE, everyone gets thunderlords.
