Disintegrate fires a red, ruler-straight laser beam of [[arcane]] damage, striking everything in a line [[AoE]] right to for a considerable distance away from the edge of the screenWizard. The beam remains active as long as the mouse button is depressed ([[Arcane Power]] permitting). To aim it, move the mouse around and can be moved around in all directions, emanating out from the stationary Wizard will spin like a spike from a hubtop, firing in whatever direction the mouse points her.
The spell does previously gained bonus damage (apparently doubling with critical hits) after it locks onto to a single target for more than about half with a secondlonger lock on, but this feature seem to have been removed as of the beta test. The beam turns from red Conversely, Disintegrate formerly did 20% less damage to purple each additional target, but this also seems to give a visual indication have been removed as of this; see the tutorial screenshots belowbeta.
Disintegrate The skill is visually-impressiveenormously effective against large groups of weak enemies, but it's best used for and can kill dozens or monsters in a sort of crowd controlblink as the player hoses the beam across the advancing hordes. It's great to hit multiple enemies in a straight line, especially large or stationary targets, but not very good is less effective against fast larger enemies or large mobs of spread out attackers. The resource drain is considerable, and it doesn't deal very high is ill-suited to killing big bosses since the damage per second, so it's is not great as a boss killer. It's best used to take out a few ranged attackers, as high enough and the light-speed beam hits them instantly, long before their arrows or other projectiles can reach the Wizardresource cost grows excessive.
The damage decreases by 20% on each additional monster ===Range and Speed=== [[File:Disintegrate-max-range1.jpg|thumb|400px|Disintegrate max range.]]Disintegrate seems like an infinite weapon at first glance, but it hitsis limited in range and speed, making as players come to realize after experimenting with it a bit. The range goes to and past the edge of the killing power visible screen in most instances, but it does not quite weak by reach the third or fourth enemy diagonal corners. You see it falling far short of the edge in the screenshot to the right, but that is somewhat misleading, since the steep stairway in that image forced the "camera" to remain up higher, giving a rowlonger view than you normally see in the game.     ==Development History== Disintegrate worked much differently during early development. The notes below cover that for historical purposes.
::The next spell, Disintegrate, was described as the ultimate face melting skill, and introduces a new mechanic. When you use Disintegrate, you will begin to emit a jet of searing red heat for as long as you hold down the mouse button. By sweeping the mouse around, you'll change the direction of the beam. The longer the beam holds on a specific enemy, the more damage it will do to that enemy.
