Hellfire can it crit?

Can Hellfire actually crit? I have never seen anything in the logs about a crit and I don't think I have even seen it daze or stun.

Lock AOE is somewhat underwhelming according to the logs, 2k-3k damage behind my mages at lvl 41. Will see how it goes at 42 with new rank of hellfire.

My recollection is that each tick of Hellfire can trigger Aftermath (50% slow for 5 seconds) but cannot Crit (and neither can RainofFire nor DoTs).

The main advantage I can see right now is that for software based boxers Locks can be consistent steady AoE without having to spam round-robin spells or rapid flurries of mouse-over-focus triggering of abilities over and over.

Wouldn't a frost mage mage blizzard be more dps? (and does that crit?)

Wouldn't a frost mage mage blizzard be more dps? (and does that crit?)No Blizzard does not Crit and the base damage is less than Hellfire and the spell lasts half as long so you will need to switch windows twice as much to sustain DPS. A decent option if you want less spamming and less window switching than repeatedly spamming AE across multiple clients for sure but still twice as much switching as Hellfire.
