Drain Life does a bunch of damage to one target and gives you HP in return. The effect is instant, not a buff, and not delayed. Basically, it's a combo attack/heal spell.
Best. Spell. Ever. Max out Drain Life. You won't regret it....
Lightning does not combo with Ice, but I think it combos with archers' Thorns. Get a friendly archer to help you test.
Here's my favorite mega-nuke sequence:
- Lightning
- Ice Storm
- Fire Storm (HOT FLASH!)
- Drain Life on any mobs still standing
- Start over again at Step 1
Lightning comes first, because it doesn't send the mobs flying. So they all stay in a nice, compact group for the next two spells....
I don't know exactly how much additional damage the combos inflict. In my experience, every mob near me (except for bosses) will usually be dead -- or close to dead -- after suffering all of my AoE spells. That's good enough for me.
Fire melts ice. Arrows don't, unless they're fiery arrows.
