Is Wrathful Smite Good?

Overall Rating: Blue. This means that wrathful smite is a great spell and you should strongly consider this spell for your character.

Overall Notes: Good choice for some battlefield control. It does less damage but the frightened condition is quite powerful. If you need to take a single enemy out of the fight temporarily, this is a good choice.
