One hit, 26 percent chance to stun. I've seen it a couple of times in a row, even.It's not that it doesnt work, it's that the tooltip is unclear. Adding the stun effect to soulfire was a wonderful change coupled with 4 second casting time. As for the AoE's (Rain of Fire and Hellfire), one assumption when reading the tooltip was that it had a 26% chance to stun on each tick. That would have been good, and probably overpowered, especially with Hellfire (8 mobs, 15 ticks, 3120% chance to stun!:P). What it actually did was apply the 26% on the first tick, apparently. Clearly an awful talent! So, in 1.8 when they added soulfire (good!) to the list, they also spread the 26% out across each tick of the AoE's, giving each tick of hellfire a .73% chance to stun. So unless you use soulfire a lot, it's still a waste of two points.
