idk if this would be good only because you have to get 3 in a row...and then, you get 1 free crit. Big freaking whoop!

It's not as bad as you think. Judging by the talents, mages will be crit machines in WotLK. I assume that 40% crit would be more of a reality than a distant hope now. Maybe even 50% ?

Anyway, anytime you score a critical you'll have roughly (your_crit ^ 2) chance to score two more. With 40% crit, that's 16% chance. With 50 -> 25. Since it's a square dependance, each point of extra crit will increase the chance of Hot Streak of happening by more than a single point.

Don't forget the fact that the 4th crit you get from Hot Streak will contribute to the next crit spree, so you will know for sure when it's starting (you can't tell which will be the first crit of the series otherwise, they ARE random ... semi-random).

And finally, combine this with Combustion and Icy veins for maximum aesthetic pleasure and some serious third degree burns.

This talent is good! b/c if you crit 3 times in a row, and get 100% chance to crit on you next spell, just start another fireball cast and use Fireblast immediatly afterwards, grating you 2 crits instead of 1 :D
Also, you will only need to crit once more to proc this AGAIN!!

go with a single target 8/52/11 build for best chain fire crits you have ever seen.

Edit: for clarity

I think Kinkade's got it right. As soon as you crit three times in a row, all your spells from then on will crit until you stop casting.

Say you've cast three crits in a row, which we'll call "Spell 1", "Spell 2" and "Spell 3". Your next spell will be a guaranteed crit as well ("Spell 4"). However, as soon as that happens, you've had three crits in a row again (Spells 2, 3 and 4), meaning Spell 5 will crit too, and so on, and so on.

You'll keep getting guaranteed crits until you fail to cast a spell within 10 seconds of the previous cast, but if you're really lucky, it might still be a crit anyway.

While you might think this is overpowered, think of it this way: In a dungeon/raid setting, you will need to manage aggro, whereas in a solo PvE setting, fire mages do pretty high damage anyway, so crits aren't going to matter all that much.

The alternative, which is only the 4th guaranteed crit, would be shocking for a 40 point talent, because if you're going deep fire you're going to have a high crit chance anyway. After three crits in a row (which is the part that requires a reasonable amount of luck), a single fourth crit wouldn't be much to rave about.

The following table lists the increase in crit chance from Hot Streak with different crit rates. The left column is your crit rate (not counting the extra crit from Hot Streak), and the right column is the average crit chance added by Hot Streak.

00%:   0.0%
05%:   0.0%
10%:   0.1%
15%:   0.2%
20%:   0.5%
25%:   0.9%
30%:   1.4%
35%:   2.0%
40%:   2.6%
45%:   3.3%
50%:   3.8%
55%:   4.4%
60%:   4.8%
65%:   5.0%
70%:   5.0%
75%:   4.9%
80%:   4.4%
85%:   3.7%
90%:   2.8%
95%:   1.5%
100%: 0.0%

The bonus from Hot Streak maxes out around a crit rate of 65%-70% where it adds 5% crit. This is 1% less than the amount added by Critical Mass which, like Hot Streak, is a 3 point talent.

Talents usually give 1-2% extra damage or crit, if this is used as a measurement for when a talent is worth taking then you will need more than 40% crit to make this talent worthwhile. It is up to every mage to decide whether or not to take this talent; however, one might choose not to take it at first but wait until a high enough crit rate is reached.

Keep in mind that this is only for single target spells. The talent may be more powerful for AoE as suggested by kinkade.

--------------------------------

This is how the results were obtained:

I'm assuming that whenever you get 3 crits in a row the count will be reset and you will get a buff that guarantees that your next spell is a crit.
I also assume that your guaranteed crit will count as the first crit in the next series, meaning that if you get an additional 2 crits after the guarenteed one then Hot Streak will proc again.
Finally, I'm assuming then you cannot get 2 crits from a Hot Streak proc by e.g. using fireball followed by fire blast.

In the following, c is the crit chance (not counting the added crit from Hot Streak), and b is the chance to get a guaranteed crit. Additionally, since the spell that is guaranteed to crit might have crit anyway, x denotes the chance that the spell is guaranteed to crit and would not have crit otherwise, meaning that you gained a crit because of Hot Streak. x is the result we are interested in, because it indicates the average crit chance added by Hot Streak.

A spell will be guaranteed to crit if the previous 3 spell were crits and were not part of another hot streak series. This will be the case if either:

a) The previous 3 spells were crits and the one before those were not a crit.
b) The previous 2 spells were crits and the one before those were a guaranteed crit from Hot Streak.

This yields:

b = c^3 * (1-c) * (1-b) + c^2 * b

which, in a number of steps, can be reduced to

b = c^3 / (c^3 + c + 1)

However, we are interested in x:

x = b * (1 - c)
= c^3 * (1 - c) / (c^3 + c + 1)

This formula is the basis of the table above.

changed to:
Any time you score 2 spell criticals in a row using Fireball, Scorch, or Frostfire Bolt, you have a chance the next Pyroblast spell cast within 10 sec will be instant cast.

much better.

is it just me or does the icon look like the guy's cutting is wrists?

评论来自 morbeo

As it is now this talent benefits Pyroblast alone. I don't think there is a fire Mage that doesn't get Pyroblast, but I think they should still link it to it. Like how Pyroblast and Blastwave are linked.

评论来自 88768

I know most mages go frost for pvp, but just had a thought.

In pvp, you can do pyroblast - fireball or scorch- to instant pyroblast to pom/pyro if you do not take living bomb.

Pyro already hits like a mack truck

average of 1065 damage with 1k spell damage = 2215 damage
+13% from talents = 2502.95 with crit = 3754 + ignite (1126)
From Pyro Blast 4880
Fireball 2220 with crit 3330 trigering another ignite for 1000 more damage.

or 9210
plus another pyrox2

or roughly 14k hp down in 10 secs.

This is also using only lvl 70 spells. lvl 80 will be much higher.

Does this procs from a two different spell combo, or do you have to crit twice in a row with the same spell? Example: Would a fireball crit followed by a scorch crit trigger this for instant pyroblast rapage, or will it only work with 2x Scorch/2x Fireball/2x Frostfire?

评论来自 162811

27/44/0

Glyph of Fireball
Glyph of Improved Scorch
Glyph of Fire Blast

Proc a Hot Streak while Imp Scorching your target, Dragon's Breath your target, pop Combustion then cast a Fireball, PoM Fireball, Insta Pyro, Insta Pyro, Fire Blast.

I figure this is gonna be roughly 30k+ damage in less than 9 seconds if everything after the first Fireball crits.

评论来自 Farigiss

This talent is a must have for fire mages. Not only does it increase your dps substantially because it is instant cast, pyroblast does more damage and costs less mana than fireball.

The only issue could be threat. I can imagine you have to pass on using it often because the two criticals you've just scored to get this proc will most likely give you too much threat to fire another spell. Although the effect will stay for 10 seconds, if that pyroblast is another crit, you're probably certain to draw the mob's attention.

Will work wonderfully with Combustion and the new Improved Scorch.

评论来自 145385

Look at the synergy with combustion:

1. Cast Combustion
2. Crit twice in a row, as you frequently will...
3. At this point you have around +30-50% crit
4. Release the last fireball & instant pyroblast at the same time, both for that +30-50% crit... Huge ignites!

评论来自 60300

The only thing I don't like about this talent is that when you cast the instant Pyroblast, if you crit you use up one of the Combustion charges but it doesn't count towards your next Hot Streak.

评论来自 57406

It makes the annoying "achievement" sound when it procs.

Not fun in raids, when you're constantly looking down at your combat bar trying to find who achieved what.

评论来自 Pezzo

fire/frost specs can attempt to do shatter combo with frostfire bolt/fire blast and trigger hot streak
i think i'll change spec from fire/arcane to fire/frost

评论来自 101003

Your point about threat is well taken.

I have been thinking a lot about how scaling with haste vs crit will work in the context of this build. I currently have around 5% haste on my deep fire mage, but it usually came at the cost of crit. I didnt mind because pre 3.0.2 threat was a big problem for me in 5 and 10 mans, although in 25 man raids not so much.

But now with the possibility of an instant pryoblast, after 2 crits in a row,well thats a lot of instant damage with a DOT as well. I did ZA the other night and got off about 6 instant pyros during lynx boss fight.

I dont know exactly how much haste affects damage for a boss fight in raid settings, where you have more casts and can use haste's benefits to have fewer spells clipped by the need to move, cc, interrupts like in gruuls or whatnot, i remember reading it scales better than crit, but now it would seem that the damage increase from the free pyros should outweigh it by an absolutely huge margin. On the lynx boss i had 6 pyros hitting around 4500 on average according to my recount graph. Thats 27,000 damage plus the dot and any ignite damage, we may be talking 30k. If the choice is crit vs haste, crit should now win out, because having those crits returns bigger than any other bonus except maybe Hit Rating from my rough, no real math done appraisal. Im sure Elitist Jerks will soon have complete spreadsheets to determine maxing out the damage though.

BTW, if your last crit was on a boss for killing blow, you drink and rest, then on some trash 5 minutes later you crit with scorch and it will proc as of nov.11)

Of course the big downside here is that crits pull threat like nobodies business. Thank the devs though, they saw the huge crit increase across the board and made the biggest buffs in the patch for tanks. Tanks can now hold threat a lot better and also generate way more damage now, especially warriors, wow.

On the previously mentioned lynx boss I never pulled threat once, and I had some HUGE bursts in there, like fireball/fireblast sumultaneous hits/crits, living bomb detonation, Pyroblast, fireball and fireblast crits AGAIN, pyroblast. like a 25k burst in like 6 seconds. Got some epic Ignite ticks in there too, like 3-4k ticks.

I have noticed that deep fire aoeing is now on the ridiculous side for threat gen, but even 2 flamestrikes, DB, BW, AE 7 second Bursts are not guaranteed pulls for me on tanks so far even on the trash for dragonhawk boss in ZA.

So after playing a 70 fire mage with admittedly only 30% crit with fire spells (some Variance) I can tell you that so far threat is not an issue, remember they just dropped blessing of salvation for a reason- it wasn't needed as much with all the frontloading they did on tanks threat gen.

At least, unless the recent instance nerf had totally messed with aggro tables, and it will change upon WotLK release tomorrow night. I hope not.

Oh ya, and with the potion nerf, this does not make this build sustainable for long fights. Being oom and watching the fight go with your mana gem, evo, and pot cd blown sucks
Bignuker.

As of Nov24, 2008 Hot Streak calculates when you last critted with a very, very long time scale.

To test this, I used a Fire Blast at 8:38 PM and it critted. At 8:48 PM, I critted with a Fireball (This is after a complete break) and it procced Hot Streak.

I tried again with a 30 min break in between criticals, and it still worked.

3.0.8: Hot Streak now also affects Living Bomb.

评论来自 256807

Any time you score 2 spell criticals in a row using Fireball, Fire Blast, Scorch, or Frostfire Bolt

Next patch this will also include Living Bomb. (this change is now live)

Some thoughts on that:
Single-target DPS:

Finally you can use combustion while having living bomb up. The crit isn't as wasted as before.
Small increase in chance to get an instant Pyroblast. At least considering World in Flames.

AoE:
Or any time your Living Bomb explosion hits more than one mob.

If the Living Bomb explosion hits three targets at the same time, and crits on two of them, you will not always procc Hot Streak.
What determines if you will get Hot Streak or not is the order WoW summarizes your damage. This can be checked by reading you combat log.

Living Bomb crit
Living Bomb hit
Living Bomb crit
Will not procc Hot Streak, even though you crit "twice in a row", or at least twice at the same time.

Whereas
Living Bomb hit
Living Bomb crit
Living Bomb crit
Will procc Hot Streak.

It's just a matter of luck. ;)

Remember to cast non-travel time spell (scorch/fireblast) before launching the pyroblast to avoid Ignite munching. Its very common mistake to cast the pyroblast right after FFB. If you cast the pyroblast right after FFB it causes DPS lose because the old bug,munching.

More about Ignite Munching.

评论来自 299730

it is affected by global cooldown? or is like presence of mind?

评论来自 243284

Many of my spell rotations have a lot of that "Criting at the same time" situations.

Working around it seems a little hard for me.

They should just fix this....

I use the mod Behaviors to make the screen flash orange while this buff is active. Here's my code:

local t = UIParent:CreateTexture("hypehuman_HotStreakFlashTexture","BACKGROUND")
t:SetTexture("Interface\\QuestFrame\\UI-QuestTitleHighlight")
t:SetVertexColor(1,.3,0)
t:SetBlendMode("ADD")
t:SetAllPoints(f)
t:Hide()

function CombatEvent()
if arg9==48108 and arg7==UnitName("player") then
if arg2=="SPELL_AURA_APPLIED" or arg2=="SPELL_AURA_REFRESH" then
UIFrameFlashRemoveFrame(t)
UIFrameFlash(t, 1, 1, 20, false)
elseif arg2=="SPELL_AURA_REMOVED" then
UIFrameFlashRemoveFrame(t)
t:Hide()
end
end
end

And just as a point of interest, I've found that Crit –> Miss –> Crit does proc Hot Streak. It's interesting because misses also increase the number of charges on your Combustion.

From 3.1, it this buff no longer makes the "achivement" sound.

Think it's more like "Fwoosh" now

评论来自 21968

Ok, assuming i have the Hot Streak talent, and the Glyph of Living Bomb.
Does the "2 crits in a row" count from the tics of LB, or only from the final detonation?

In other words, do the Glyph of LB affect Hot Streak ?

评论来自 Antigona

Interestingly enough I had this activate after using Blastwave so I just added it in and finished the poor creature off, i'm not sure if this was a glitch or if they changed something and didn't update the tooltip but it certainly saved my life. i had never seen it proc with blastwave before today with their release of 3.2.2

评论来自 twistdshade

A couple things I've noticed.. Maybe somebody else can confirm/deny.

The instant cast pyroblast you get from this talent does not count towards your next hot streak. (ex; you instapyro and fire blast before it hits, both of them crit, the hot streak buff will not proc, but it will proc if your next spell crits)

Living bomb explosions do not kill your hot streaks. (ex: your fireball crits, living bomb goes off but does not crit, you crit with a fireball, hot streak procs)
If this is true, it's possible to drop fire bombs on multiple mobs, and when they start exploding wait for your hot streaks to proc for insta pyro madness.

评论来自 twistdshade

I found a nice rotation for anybody running a deep fire spec with shatter.

When fighting groups of 3-5 mobs, stack living bomb on all targets, when your living bombs are about to go off, cast frost nova. This will bring your living bomb's crit chance to almost 100%.

As the bombs go off against frozen targets, they will crit, allowing you to get 2-3 instant cast Pyroblasts.

评论来自 230590

for pve, its pretty self explanatory, more dps from high crit rate instant pyros, except that getting the living bomb glyph also helps getting HS procs tremendously

when people see back to back hot streaks (like you are chain casting FFB+Pyros), that is because you are getting living bot dot crits which happen passively, and happen to land a crit FFB or scorch as the dot crit happens, nice little mechanic

for pvp, those daring enough to go fire... between scorch and fire blast, its relatively easy to land 2 quick crits in a row (even against high resil, fire has pretty high crit rates as it is) and pop a massive instant crit into the face, as said by another poster, even better if you happen to also have shatter in your spec (crazy elementalists specs lol)

this is a RNG talent (aka all up to chance), but if you want to figure out the average chance for it to happen, just divide your crit by your crit... like if you have 55% FFB crit, then in order for you to land 2 consecutive crits, you have a 30.25% (0.55x0.55) chance to get a hot streak on the 2nd cast, though that doesnt include getting crits from scorch and living bomb which have a slightly different crit rate but there isnt a huge difference... one thing is for sure, the more crit you have, the less random you get hot streaks

and about ignite munching (where you land a crit before ignite does damage which actually delays ignite from happening for another 2sec), its definitely a dps loss to delay hot streak pyros by not casting or scorching, especially considering it only takes a global and you are probably going to land a crit for well over 10k... besides, ignite munching is pretty much unavoidable considering you can probably reach the crit cap, and your casting speed is insane normally in raids now (you can actually cause ignite munching with FFB alone with lust/heroism+icy veins)... so dont kill your dps by not dpsing

评论来自 biogoo

Using up the proc of Hot Streak doesnt break your crit row, so its possible to
"1st crit -> 2nd crit -> instapyro -> 3rd crit -> instapyro"

The Pyroblast itself doesnt count towards Hot Streak, so it doesnt matter if it crits or not, and by scoring the 3rd crit you still succesfully achieved what the second proc asks for: two crits in a row.

If the 3rd crit is a Living Bomb explosion, then it is entirely possible to cast two instant Pyroblasts in a row. So, if you have just launched an instant Pyroblast, dont be confused if you stil have a proc at full duration - most probably something like this just happend.
Or... you just didnt press the button hard enough:)
