Fire mage - pyroblast problem

[Seweryn]

Hey,

Hey it is not kinda fireball problem, it is the proc that is kinda bugged,

I mean when you first crit you get 8 seconds "burning up" time to hit with another crit to get instant pyroblast.

The problem with me is that the burning up dissappears sometimes when there is like 4 or 5 seconds to go.

Example i crit with fireball, didn't noticed it at first and i am firing a second one, but then i noticed the burning up notice , so i click inferno blast to get instant pyroblast but burning up suddenly disappears with 5 seconds to go and i got another burning up when hitting with my inferno blast.

Am i doing something wrong, i mean does something negate the burning up effect.

I would like to hear your opinions on this.

Cheers,
Sew

The spell you cast after the crit giving you Heating Up will REMOVE the buff if it does not crit. It's still double crit = pyro, if not, no cigar.

So if i crit with fireball and then do not crit with another one it will remove the buff, thanks.

I was wondering if it was a bug or am i doing something wrong.

Exactly ;3

The exception is that if you cast Fireball and then an instant spell (which basically means Pyroblast!) then you will get Hot Streak even if only one of them crits, regardless of which one it was
The timing window does not seem to be able to distinguish which hit first so it just gives you the benefit of the doubt

Scorch has a 0.25 second delay built into it that allows an instant Inferno Blast to sneak in if you cast it immediately afterwards. IB will also land before Fireball/Pyro since they have travel times.

Can get pretty nasty with bad internet. It's also pretty hard while bloodlust/heroism are running. Mostly it appears just before my next fireball leaves. No chance to hit it in time. But I think this problem will get obsolete when MoP hits as you will have a lot less haste in beginning of the addon.

Not just Scorch, the entire Heating Up mechanic should work with that 0.25sec delay.
