Scanning the glyphs, the current glyph of Flame Shock has not changed yet. However, glancing over at
MMO-Champion and we find that it has in fact changed.
Glyph of Flame Shock - Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your Flame Shock periodic damage by 60%.
So n ow our Flame Shock can crit, deals 260% damage on crits and is affected by haste. why are my pants missing?
Seriously, this is awesome guys. Note that the haste change will significantly change elemental rotation. The haste reduces the time a dot lasts, but doesn't increase the number of ticks. For example, if your dot lasts 12 seconds and it deals damage every 3 seconds, you get 4 ticks. Get 50% haste and your dot lasts for 6 seconds and has 4 ticks at a tick every 1.5 seconds. So now you're casting the dot much more often. I don't know about you guys, but I'm thinking sexy.
