HELL YES, THEY GAVE US BLAST WAVE BACK! :D

Comment by BrightBrown

For exactly how long will that primary target have 100% increased damage done to it?

Comment by Mattarias

~~As this replaces Frost Nova, does the Glyph of Frost Nova affect it?~~

Also: WOOO! WELCOME BACK BLAST WAVE! <3 :D

Edit 2: So far, I can confirm that the Glyph of Frost Nova does NOT reduce the cooldown of Blast Wave.

I don't suppose this talent interacts at all with the Ice Ward talent? It would be cool if Ice Ward set off Blast Waves, but I doubt that would be the case. Cheers.

I've been going over a burst rotation using Blast Wave and I'd like some feedback from more experienced mages.
Set up:
1) Get a pyroblast proc
2) Dragon's Breath into Frostjaw and place Prismatic Crystal (instant cast).
3) Incanter's Flow - with timing you can add around +20% additional damage.
Burst: Target crystal (+30% extra damage)
4) Pyroblast, Blast Wave, Blast Wave (tooltip for Blast Wave says the target will take 100% extra damage (that's 400% of your spell power on the crystal) and note that any enemy within 8 yards will also get hit by the AoE of 200% also reducing movement speed by 70%), Combustion (glyphed for 100% extra damage).

With multistrikes and a few back-to-back crits there could be an additional pyroblast or two in there. Also, if you had a Dragon's Breath available and glyphed, you could instantly do good damage (the aoe effect means you will hit the enemy twice - once when you cast and again by the crystal). Can someone who is geared please post some dps stats using this basic rotation? Or better yet, test it out on some classes and post a link here when you upload it to YouTube.

One more question...is it better to Combust the crystal or the enemy target?
