Maybe my game's bugged but this spell's AoE still damages teammates with Evocation school's passive
Advantages:
1) great damage at one targer 1d10 + 2d6
2) great AOE damage 2d6
3) all targets get prone
4) all of this calculates separately
5) Sorcerer can TWIN ice dagger, and make 4d6 AOE damage + 2d10 if hit two targets
6) Mourning frost (staff) fits well too
And all of this is 1 lvl spell!
but Disadvatages:
1) Doesn't match well with your warrior that stands near the main target, you have to throw it into the ground, which takes away 1d10 damage
2) Same if enemies are standing awkwardly, deal a good 4d6 AOE damage but miss 2d10 to the targets
3) unlike chromatic orb, it doesn't mix with grease (oil)
4) It's good only on sorcerer, wizards prefer magic missile

Are these DEX save spells ever worth taking? So far in act 1 nearly every enemy has crazy high dex and they dodge these spells on the regular.

It becomes kinda obsolete when you hit level 10 and your cantrips start dealing up to 30 damage. The only reason to use it still might be for Conjuration Wizard to reset Benign Transportation or for the prone effect in general, but base surface's Spell DC is 12 and it would only work against weak targets.

Very underrated. Not only does it do decent AoE damage (can be multi-casted with Sorcerer); it leaves ice to potentially hinder enemies and combo with fire to turn it into water then to again combo with a lighting/ice attack.
