I forget who is was, but someone did testing of 1117 with 111 in a troll warcamp, the results were tremendous. In GSPlat, I use 1117 on my empath using a weighted returner which is foolishly effective.

[khorpulent]

I posted some logs of 111 in a troll camp when it came out -- it's absurd.

My biggest problem with 1117 is that it doesn't work on top of 1120, which means that you gotta just hope you don't get your ass kicked by a swarm of grim before you get a few fireballs off. If there are enough critters present to actually benefit from 1117, it usually means that I'm in trouble if I don't cast sympathy fast. I find that I only end up using it if I'm hunting with someone else who can ewave everything first, or if I feel like risking my life for the sake of doing some "ballsackingly awesome" damage.

Is 1117 limited to self cast spells or will it work with bolt spells from wands?

My memory is that it does work with damage dealt by wands waved by the 1117-casting empath.

1117 seems to work with any damage. It will propagate damage from weapon strikes to the same location on each enemy. I've head shotted and legged multiple creatures at once. The on going damage from rotflares seems to also propagate.
