My Favorite way to kill a paladin or start a fight with a warrior.
Pallas like to hold off their invuln bubble till they get to low health, so drop one of these when they get to <35%HP, cast lightning or Stormstrike, then Earth Shock. I can usually take one out before he knows what to do.
For warriors, they always charge stun, so let the totem start its timer while you wait stunned. More useful with the talent, I rec. 1 or more points or players tend to run away.

the best way i've found to use this (soloing) is to pop a lightning bolt and imidiately tag this instant on the end of the spell, if you time it right it should go off right about the time they get close to you. If your really sneaky you'll have already gotten another lightning bolt and a shock off before the totem nova's.

You need the fire totem item in your inventory to use all fire totems.. i'll be posting this on all fire totem abilities.

What I would like to know is how much this totem benefits from spell damage. Any input?

Commento di Taemojitsu

Unfortunately, this spell suffers at lvl 70 from two scaling flaws: the standard AoE scaling of 1/2, and hybrid penalty of being forced to collect multiple stats. The first means that AoEs are balanced for a nominal amount of spelldamage, usually 'blue-quality' gear with average stats, which for TBC means maybe ~400-500 spelldamage. Any spells with inferior scaling from gear will benefit from additional scaling from ranks for this reason, but this only balances these spells at a certain level of gear. Past this point they will have reduced effectiveness compared to other spells. The second means that any shaman that does not gear themselves as pure elemental will have a substandard Fire Nova Totem, compared to what its comparative damage was at, say, lvl 50. A resto or enhance shaman's Fire Nova totem might do just 750-800 damage, which is about half of an average lvl 70 nuke spell (Frostbolt, Shadowbolt, etc) in comparable +damage gear; at lvl 50 it easily did the full damage of a standard nuke.

(Compare Fire Nova Totem (Rank 4), trained at lvl 42, vs Shadow Bolt (Rank 7), trained at lvl 44; or other, similar abilities and spell ranks.)

However, given that it's the only burst aoe damage a shaman has other than Chain Lightning, it's still useful despite how gimped it is by Blizzard's scaling. Any shaman who PvPs in AV should be proficient in using this ability to solo groups of guards. Your exact pattern may vary, but I found this to be useful:

1) running towards undefended GY flag: drop preemptive Grounding Totem (in case you get ambushed by a caster) or Wrath of Air for extra burst and either Mana Spring or Poison Cleansing, again depending on whether you expect a rogue.
2) if you are racing against a respawn wave timer, get ~20 yards away. If you are trying to kite them away and avoid attention, get to max range.
3) pick a guard that will let Chain Lighting jump to aggro all guards if you prefer, or less than that if you have time to solo pull them.
4) cast Chain Lighting at selected guard.
5) if you are at max range, follow this up with a Lightning Bolt on the same guard and immediately use Frost Shock. If you started at close range, skip the LB and just use Frost Shock.
6) turn around as fast as you can and run away, casting Earthbind Totem as you do so.
7) immediately follow this with Fire Nova Totem, continuing to run away. The timing on this depends on whether you have points in imp fire nova totem tho and how far away you were to start with.
8) by now, the cooldown on Chain Lightning is up. As soon as the GCD for Fire Nova totem cycles, immediately turn around and cast Chain Lightning on the guard with the highest remaining health (which you should have selected while running away casting totems).
9) use a shock to finish off a guard. Fire Nova Totem should tick its aggro pulse BEFORE any guards reach it, exploding a second or two later after they've reached it on their way towards you, with Earthbind ensuring that the closest guards don't run past it before it blows up and you have time to kite.
10) half the guards should be dead by now, drop a Searing Totem or use melee if you're enhance, kiting past the Earthbind on your way to the flag, or use shocks/nukes to finish off the remaining guards. Drop another Grounding if you're out of range of the first one, and cap the flag. ;)

Lol, I thought it was a screenshot of Sauron's eye, instead of a Fire Nova Totem. I guess I should start goin' to bed earlier...

Commento di Robyn

Also it pays to be careful with using this in instances... the 4s delay can cause you to pull adds on occasion.

The fact that normal mobs seem to love attacking this totem pre-emptively is very annoying indeed... it makes using this totem effectively cost 2x GCD plus extra mana, plus extra thinking time, in any normal pve situation where you'd want to use it. My experience is that casting an extra LHW or 2 is a better use of time and mana in those cases.

This change has now been applied to Patch 3.3.0 PTR notes:

Fire Nova Totem: This totem has been replaced with a new spell, Fire Nova, which is available at the same ranks as the old Fire Nova Totem. Existing characters will automatically learn this new spell in place of the totem. With a Fire Totem active, shamans will be able to use Fire Nova (fire magic) to emit the same area-of-effect damage as the old Fire Nova Totem from the active Fire Totem, not consuming the totem in the process. Fire Nova will activate a 1.5-second global cooldown when used and has a 10-second spell cooldown. The caster must be within 30 yards of the totem to use this ability, but does not need to be within line of sight of the totem.

Commento di 385742

Coming in 3.3, this totem will be turned into a spell of it own, making a fire totem do the fire nova totem's booms, without consuming totem!
Totally awesome!

Just wanted to comment on the pvp aspect. From what I can see, it appears this ability will not stun targets like the old talented fire nova totem, which helped a lot in pvp.

Commento di 4634

If glyphed and talented (to 3 seconds) this can be used to make shaman AoE competitive with Mages, Warlocks and others.

Commento di 476166

Resto Shammies rejoice -- if you never find yourself going OOM, and you have no issues multitasking, you can use this every CD to do some extra AoE damage and get that damn trash down. I typically drop all 4 totems as close to the enemies as possible after the tank draws aggro. With it's new 10-minute CD, Fire Elementals can be very helpful too. It's pretty wild seeing yourself as 1 or 2% of the group's DPS (if it's more than that... LFG has been very unkind) while still maintaining heals.

Again though, this is for Heroics or places where you aren't worrying about mana or people dieing; if you're confident in your healing, you usually won't be. Play and test around with it first to see how well it works for you. 1k mana is a lot to blow away, and I doubt your group will be happy if they wipe because you went and tried to be a very, very poor DPS.

Commento di Toldry

Fire Nova doesn't seem to be able to do damage on raid bosses..
Does anyone else have this problem?

Commento di bearkin

Fire nova is cast as a spell off of an existing fire totem. Fire nova totem no longer exists for player characters. It is also an instant cast spell.

Commento di Vorph

Even used without the glyph and the talent that reduces the cooldown, this spell can deplete the mana of an Enhancement shaman really quickly, when combined with Chain Lightning and multiple drops of Magma Totem in the same fight. You may have to use Shamanistic Rage fairly often to overcome the mana depletion this spell causes.

Commento di 320682

Would this spell be worth it to cast on raid bosses as an enhance shaman when everything is on cd and no maelstrom x5? Or does the mana cost out weigh the extra dps?

Commento di 450260

In heroics, I'm normally at 5-6% of the damage done on trash and 10-15% on bosses as a resto shaman (about 800 to 1400 dps on boss fights, depending on how often I have to cast a heal). Aoeing on every pull as a resto shaman will give you mana issues - chain lightning, and fire nova are both especially good at draining your mana. My lower dps on trash than on boss fights is due to #1 the mobs dying too fast #2 dpsing trash being an unnecessary use of mana and #3 trash mobs aren't worth paying much attention to.

Against trash mobs only if the tank gathers keeps them in place, fire nova takes higher priority over lava burst (and both are behind healing, of course). If the mobs are moving around a lot or aren't bunched, a flame shock + lava burst is a better way to dps.
Against a single mob, doing flame shock + lava burst is a better use of your time between heals.
If you have a tank that isn't chain pulling, its very easy to place this totem properly. But if you are doing a heroic these days, and the tank isn't chain pulling, then you've probably got an undergeared tank.

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

Now for talk about all specs, not just resto:

This spell is quite useful in clearing trash in ICC. The ones before marrowgar, before gunship, before festergut & rotface all actually stay in one place long enough for fire nova to be useful. It's not really useful on any of the boss fights, even fights where adds spawn. The adds on Deathwhisper, Saurfang, and Putricide tend to move around too much for fire nova to work. Right when the blood beasts spawn on Saurfang, you could get a well timed fire nova off, but after that, its useless to try and fire nova an add that is being kited. I could see Fire Nova being useful on Marrowgar on 25 man (when there are multiple bone spikes which would be in range of a fire nova) because people usually bunch together for bonespikes and bonespikes don't move. Against just one bone spike + the boss, I don't know if it'd be worth it to do fire nova instead of just single target dpsing. So basically, this spell isn't worth putting on your action bar for boss fights.

My mage has a single target dps action bar and an aoe action bar, and I'd recommend that any dps arrange their action bars that way. You don't need any of your aoe abilities on boss fights, and you don't need any of your cooldowns on trash. Not all trash pulls are AoE pulls, so you need at least some your single target spells on the trash pull action bar. I'd recommend this spell only be used on your aoe/trash action bar, and not on your single target & boss fights action bar.

helpful in lower lvl BG's, I often find that when i'm defending and a player comes if I put my flame totem in strategic position, they run past it on low health while running from me, while they run past click this and they die when they least expect it

it's a recipe for pure delight. guaranteed to make everyone feel good except for the poor suckers that were caught in the blast.

Commento di Thottbot

i love this totem, it rules

Commento di Thottbot

improved starting time(talents) - makes it almost instant AoE... on different CD than shoks

Commento di Thottbot

the totem is called fire totem and you get it from the call of fire quest so you dont need to find a totem for this ability just train and your done.

Commento di Thottbot

i cant cast it y its greyed out? any ideas?

Commento di Thottbot

Use in bg's or duels if u know a rogue is nearby. Takes him out of stealth. Then u can own him.

Commento di Thottbot

My feonce made a shaman and I helped her do the call of fire quest. We are now level 13 and she cannot use her fire nova totem because she has no fire totem tool. The call of fire quest chain is complete. Any ideas?

O.K. We figured it out. Once you complete the call of fire quest, the npc sends you to your trainer to get the spell but you wont have the fire totem. You must return to the quest npc again and he will give you another part of the quest that sends you back to your trainer. Then to the trainer in the capitol city to get the totem.

Commento di Thottbot

^He's right, you have to go back to Temper and he'll give you the ashes that you got earlier and tell you to go back to Tuluun.

Commento di Thottbot
