New fire nova totem

[heyaz]

Trying to figure out uses for this thing. It hits about the same as thunderstorm. Will come out of any totem including fire elementals

Costs just under 1k mana and is critting for 5-5.5k before resilience with around 3300 spell power.

Seems to be a nice finisher (or opener?) for people who get in melee range and spin around me, but I kinda doubt it'll really hurt anyone in arena. Maybe 3x melee cleave, spam it with magma and take out healers? Maybe.

May be fun in pve though.. if I could figure out something to aoe grind

Too bad you cant pop fire elementals in Arena. Time both your AoEs to go off at same time, BAM bitches!

i'm confused... what new fire totem?

What about it? Did it change to basically "wait 4 seconds" then BOOM?

Oh finally some benefits for choosing tauren for my shamans lolz. All other shamans, you might miss the stun.


On 2nd thought, 4 of those + magma + 4 TS can be enough to kill melees while you unload your pressure on range or healers. Nice addition to melee range dmg while not losing any range burst.

It's just a castable aoe spell now, that comes out of any fire totem you have down. No more stun and no more switching totems.

Instead of dropping your fire nova totem and it going off in 4 secs (with stun if you talented it), it now is a spell you cast that will use your current fire totem as a AoE. So say you drop 4 searing totems, you could then also cast fire nova and get an AoE effect off them.

Disadvantage is that it requires you to be in melee range to drop totems.

Normal cooldown is 10 secs.

Talented is 6 secs.

With glyph its 3 secs.

With the glyph, I can see this being handy in BG's & WG when you're getting zerged...

Not so sure about arena though.

Cheers,

If it's useful in arena, you're playing a bunch of noobs that you should have been able to beat without it.
