Usage Strategies

• Given its slowing effect, Maelstorm is very well-suited against enemies who have the annoying tendency of running away (such as archers and casters).

Combo Recommendations

• Energy Blaze and Maelstorm make a fine combination. The blaze hurts a group of enemies, and if they survive, they will be severely crippled by the Maelstorm, leading to some much easier kills.

• The weakening effect makes it go great before virtually any damaging spell. The slow effect makes enemies easy picking for Destroyers and Protectors, slows them down so that the Dragon Strike will more reliably hit them, etc..
