* Edit * Just realized the numbers on the wiki are conflicting. The 50+ rains all have 4.7~ damage / mana using the lowest damage values given on the wiki.

Tears of Solusek is 4.74 damage / mana on a single mob.

Tears of Prexus is 6.15 damage / mana on a single mob.

Increased chance of resists, but if we are theory crafting here Wizard rains are insanely mana efficient.

You are incorrectly assuming how Rains work. They have a maximum of 2 waves for 1 target at this stage in the timeline. Therefore, you are getting 3.16 ratio on Prexus and 3.16 for Solusek, according to the spell data on the Wiki.

Whoops, thought they still hit 3 times. Not quite to 52 on my Wiz yet.

Still not sure how you ended up with different ratio values, too.

Got a bit confused because the damage in the top descriptions don't match the numbers in the bottom descriptions.

E.g. - Tears of searing magic fall in three waves, causing 698 damage to all creatures in the vicinity of your target.

then at the bottom

1 : Decrease Hitpoints by 600

I was assuming they still hit 3 times. Which we know is wrong. But (3 x 600) / 380 vs. (3x680) / 380 caused the ratio troubles.

There are plenty of Rain spells before level 52.
