Kommentar von Kanariya

Updating this comment for BfA as this talent is more useful now than it was in the beginning of Legion when this comment was posted. Some important notes about this spell:

It cannot critically strike
It does not proc or contribute to Entzünden
It is unaffected by Kampfeshitze!
No gains from Intellect, Critical Strike, Mastery or Versatility, or any damage buff.
Very slow travel time with a very noticeable spell graphic

Gear wise, this means that only Haste benefits it. However, the benefit from Haste is substantial due to its very long base cast time of 4.5 seconds.

It has situational use as a talent choice due to its cast time, but is strong for burning down Tanks and geared Healers, and sneaking casts off when you're not being focused. It also can be casted before a burst phase/Combustion, and will hit in the middle of your burst phase with proper distance. Spell Reflection abilities will only counter the ability while its being cast, not after. Despite its slow travel time, if you see the graphic already moving toward you, it's too late to counter it.

If you're running with Pyroklasmus and a proc is up, you'll get more damage out of a hard-casted Pyro over this spell.

Real question is - how does this work on NPC. Bosses in AV/IoC/Ashran have lot of health, but still could be killed by single mage and a tank.

Just unlocked it today tried using it at Warden Tower world quests. It works on regular mobs however on the captain the damage seem to be capped at around 600k.

I was hoping there wasn't a cap on the damage, wanted to use this spell on world bosses. Since I play on a PvP server if I just tag a horde I can start using Greater Pyroblast on the world boss.

After testing, this spell doesn't seem to be affected by buffs that increase the caster's damage dealt, like Rune of Power or Train of Thought. It is however affected by debuffs increasing the target's damage taken, like the orbs in Temple of Kotmogu.
If you are casting at a NPC, it seems to deal 35% of your own max HP.

Patch 7.1

Playing a BG on my Blood DK ilvl 845. I'm in a battle against 2 people and then all of a sudden I die. I check the combat log and realize this spell hit me for 1.9 mil. wtf

As of patch 7.1, this spell does not work with Icy Floes, weakening both talents. This is the only combat Mage spell that does not work with Icy Floes and I am unsure if this is a bug or intentional due to the strength of the spell.

It is also worth noting that this spell does not go through shields and is affected by damage reductions (ex. Ignore Pain), making it fairly weak against smaller healthpool classes with bubbles (Ex., Demonology Warlocks, or Frost Mages), as it will do 35% of their total HP (does not factor in 'extra' hp from shields), much of which will be absorbed by the shield.
However, due to the slow movement of the projectile, a well-time Spellsteal (when applicable) will get around this.

Since it still only receives a bonus from Haste and does not have Ignite, and in PvP you have roughly~ 4 seconds with haste to cast this, it will take 12~ seconds of hard casting to kill an enemy that receives no heals or defensive. Do not assume this spell to be your main damaging spell due to the above disadvantages, however, it is still useful for sniping low HP enemies, or opening up on someone coming out of an immunity (Ice Block, Divine Shield, Cyclone, etc). As to whether or not it outweights the other two talents on this tier remains to be seen.

At this time, I am unsure if it affected by damage boost Debuffs (ex., Flag Carrier debuff), but as it is affected by bubbles, I would assume so.

I agree with all of the above comments (ie there probably are a number of ways to do more damage, etc, in the time it takes to hard cast GP). But the big plus imo is the unexpectedness.

Byrdlee said
"…then all of a sudden I die."

The keywords there are all of a sudden.

Players (and the ppl healing them) make changes in what they are doing when they see their health gradually diminishing down in the lower percentages. They start thinking more in terms of defense and self-preservation and will ofttimes try to flee. However, GP hits like a tsunami without any warning and does its damage before they can react.

If you can situate yourself in a significantly subtle side spot when the big brain-bashing brawls breakout in battlegrounds, you can selectively target enemy players whose health is below ~50% and not infrequently get a kill with each of your GPs.

;) hehe

It rules in pugged bgs. Healers die before they find out what hit them. Healers hate it because they can do nothing before they die. Period.

I luv it. <3

Kommentar von LiquidCool

You guys are missing the point. It's an opener after you polymorph.

Kommentar von Pearstrike

Take the time for an evil laugh after you unlock this talent.

Kommentar von Flashbolt1

This is the most hilariously fantastic ability. All I've seen in game and here is people TRYING pitifully to say its bad. And 100% of the results from using it are freaking gold! O that guys almost got away! No wait, fireball of doom is following him. I could not love this spell more. A fan boy knows a hater. This spell is incredible.

Kommentar von schmilblick

This either need a cooldown or a damage nerf, facing multiple fire mages in one battleground is insane.

Kommentar von swiggymcswag

Rogue's Mantel der Schatten harmful spell resist doesn't stop greater pyroblast, so cast away

I'm not sure if this is intentional but it does makes fire v rogue much easier

Kommentar von Shephard83

The most ridiculous spell ingame. It has a long cast time, but the Mage can blink during cast (if the enemy tries to LoS) and it has no cooldown, so when he can finish the cast, it does "just" 35% of total health in damage.

Kommentar von Dranight

needs a cooldown. all im saying

Kommentar von XardasOficial

I think that the most funny thing about this spell is that it comes sooo slowly and you know that the victim is not enjoying it. Being tired that my spells do next to nothing thanks to this PvP Scaling "sillyness" to avoid using the word I really want to use. This spell makes me smile, every time.
