Actually I will just cast another word spell instead of earthquake. I think earthquake was different in classic, but Im not sure. It sounds like you are saying that these spells were nerfed because of an exploit a long time ago.

Earthquake just isnt a little mana inefficient, its ALOT inefficient. Its more efficient to just cast another word spell of a different level. They are on different cooldowns so u can spam it. I can just cast word of spirit and word of souls or whatever back to back and conserve alot of mana.

So basically, there is nothing special about earthquake/tremor types spells. They just plain suck and there no reason to use them, ever.

Your conclusion doesn’t fit your discussion as your discussion fails to address Loramin’s point that sometimes dps is more desirable than dpm.
