For all of you combustion mages. Can't Post

Next time you try combustion, try this out.
1. Crit twice as normal.
2. On your third chance for crit, you should be somewhere around 5-7 stacked times, so the next attacks will usually crit, but not always.
3. If you are fighting a mob after you crit twice, Frost nova and blink, but make sure you are still within fireblast range.
4. Fireball/pyro, whichever you prefer. I usually use fireball, just because it's faster and pyro only does an extra 300ish damage, or somewhere around 500-700 at 70, I wouldn't know.
5. Launch off the fireball/pyro, and before your ball gets to the mob, fire blast. (It usually works if you spam fireblast a bit while you are spending the 3 seconds casting.)
6. Taaahhh Daaaah, 4 combustion crits.

Note: Don't come back to me qqing if you don't crit both of the times, it is an added percentage due to the stacking.

This works everywhere, and is very useful in PVP with ignite, dealing around 500 damage per tick for me, and i'm a 57 mage.

Oh, and try not to do this in an instance, it pulls massive aggro critting 4 times in 5-7 casts.

EDIT: And don't you maggot's go spurting this this thing out all over your server, i'm one of the only that know about this, except for a few mage guildies.

No, you aren't.

This has been possible for a loooooong time.

As has getting more than one crit on a target afflicted by Frost Nova while Frost specced.

Well, I figured it out last week, and to my knowledge I was the only one who knew at the moment. I even searched up Google for a bit just to check if it wasn't common knowledge.

Seems like forum is grateful for tips.

No, that's how many views you got within 2 hours of posting it.

Tried it out, pretty nice trick. Had to change talents to try it out, but whatever. I like my PoM/Pyro build more though.

Instant 5k damage every 3 minutes, even more if it crits.

My highest was 6k with pyroblast by the way.

Re: [Dr. Funk] For all of you combustion mages. [In reply to] Can't Post

Well yeah, but 3 minutes pass more often than it seems, and I don't mind waiting. And it's not like I can't use Pyroblast again. Usual creep killing:

Pyroblast, Fireball, Frost nova, Fireblast, Fireball.

Now every three minutes:

Pyroblast, PoM, Pyroblast, Fireblast.

Yay.

I don't do the standard PoM/Pyro in instances and such, draws too much aggro.

I am (well, was) primarily a PvP mage.

I'd rather kill targets consistently than have to wait and get slaughtered the other 3 minutes. While PoM Pyro builds can be nice, I'd rather have survivability too.

So what is your build? 0/20/51?

I'm level 80?

0/17/44, the 17 spare points enhance Fire Blast primarily, which I find more useful than a 4 second silence, especially since rogues seem to like me in PvP.

Or 0/30/31 if I'm in the mood for variation and being twitchy.

Re: [Dr. Funk] For all of you combustion mages. [In reply to] Can't Post

Weird builds, both of em.

The flaw with the first is that you spend 17 talents solely for your Fireblast, which seems like a waste of talents when you could just complete your arctic winds and build into winters chill.

The flaw with the second...Well, can't find one, except for Frost/Fire wtf?

Winter's Chill is primarily a PvE talent. Some take it, others don't, it's not crucial enough to be considered a key talent. I was considering 1 point in it for an extra debuff for Paladins to cleanse off but decided against it. Arctic Winds doesn't matter much, either - as with Winter's Chill it's not essential to having in a PvP environment.

I get loads of KBs with Fireblast too; don't knock it until you've tried it.

The second one is merely an enhanced version of what this guy uses, and a talent build I used for quite a long while: http://video.google.com/...-6842193600891339580
