This and I believe their resist-ability is too high. making them totally useless.

I understand the multiple mobs situation but why is it when I cast a 3 waves rain of spikes it only hits 2 times?

pets and the caster can count as one of the mobs

Really is this "classic" or live?
could explain why I only see 2 wave messages hitting enemy mobs.

On live I "remember" rains being pretty reliable for 2x hits (on a single target), making them about as efficient as a normal nuke but with the added perk of the damage being spread out so you could cast sooner in a fight and/or follow up with a normal nuke for some sweet burst. You would basically never see 3x resists, and you'd sometimes see 3x hits.

Here it seems like 3x resists is uncommon, 2x resists is common, 2x hits is a pleasant surprise, and 3x hits is like winning the lottery. Too bad too, cause something like a 33% base resist chance per wave per mob would be a great boost for mages and wizards in normal groups.
