Dark Heart PTR Development Notes
Dark Heart PTR Development Notes
World of Warcraft: The War Within Alpha - New Creature Models
Did I pick the wrong expansion to play mage?
Are we approaching a Solo Raid WoW Experience?
MMO-Champion
I just noticed from the wording that it seems that mastery ignite will be completely unrelated to crit.
All direct-damage fire spells will add a damage-over-time (DoT) component when cast. The flavor will be similar to how Fireball works; however, the DoT component will be much stronger.
Am I two weeks behind everyone else?

Re: cataclysm ignite
Pfff I haven't even seen any talk about it. It's not an insignificant change for how fire works. Moving away from the value of crit quite a bit and all. Originally Posted by Swizzle

Re: cataclysm ignite
i HAVE tried to talk about it, since it is a huge change, but people would rather bitch about mana adept and blood lust. Originally Posted by Rogge

Re: cataclysm ignite
On the other hand, it's essentially a new 'interesting' mechanic to add consistent damage without having to press a button. The only thing that could potentially make it better is if the Ignite ticks increase from Fire damage + Mastery + scale with Haste/Crit. Otherwise it's just a mindless DoT. Fire and Forget.

Re: cataclysm ignite
this will mean that fire loses it's burst, but gains sustained damage. so it wont mean much for pve, but it's a nasty pvp change, here's hoping it'll have new coefficients to be huge, or we get a conflagerate-esq move to finish out our stacked ignite damage.

Re: cataclysm ignite
If Ignite doesn't proc on crit anymore, then all Ignite factors will be refreshed on spell hit, not on spell cast.
This is a very important change for fire specs because it might solve the ignite munching bug (!)
