Recent Changes of WoW Mage

Blizzard has done some changes to Mage in World of Warcraft, which includes Living Bomb and Hot Streak. You can adjust your plan of getting US World of Warcraft Gold according to the changes. The following are the changes. Read it carefully! Let's fight for Cheap WoW Gold.

Changes of Living Bomb and Hot Streak

When developing 3.2, players reported the bug that Hot Streak did not trigger from Living Bomb critical periodic damage. At the beginning, Blizzard decided to continue preventing Hot Streak from triggering, which resulted in the "non-periodic" text being added to the Hot Streak tooltip. You may know this on your way to get the WoW Gold.

The decision was revisited at the late time in the 3.2 cycle, and Hot Streak was allowed to trigger from Living Bomb periodic damage, but too late to correct the tooltip. However, around the same time, Living Bomb was changed to be allowed on multiple targets per Mage. In addition, WoW QA team discovered a 3.2.0 live bug that periodic damage from Fireball and Frostfire Bolt was being counted toward breaking the Hot Streak (as these could never crit). It will affect your plan to get the desired WoW Money.

After discussion, Blizzard determined that with multiple targets per Mage, Living Bomb periodic damage triggering Hot Streak was too powerful. However, they still liked Living Bomb being used on multiple targets and didn't want to change that. They have hotfixed Hot Streak so it could no longer be triggered by periodic damage, resolving both the bug with Fireball and Frostfire Bolt, and the balance concern with Living Bomb.

In the course of that hotfix, a data error was introduced which caused the non-periodic damage from Fireball and Frostfire Bolt to never break the Hot Streak streaks on non-crits. That data error was corrected with a hotfix.

Final Result

Host Streak triggers exactly as stated in its tooltip: "2 non-periodic spell criticals in a row using Fireball, Fire Blast, Scorch, Living Bomb, or Frostfire Bolt". Only non-periodic damage interacts with it, and only those spells listed. Periodics do not affect the streak in any way. Direct damage from the listed spells always count, for or against the streak.

Sorry for any confusion that resulted from us not posting this sooner. We've been making many fixes since 3.2 went live this week.
