Tips and Tactics

• This spell is cast in the same situations as [Arcane Explosion], with the added benefit of snaring everything it hits.
• Between Blast Wave, [Frost Nova], [Cone of Cold], [Blink], Cold Armors, and [Frostbolt], a mage is a slippery target to catch.
• This spell adds another spell to both the mage's area damage and crowd control lists. It deals excellent damage, and the daze allows a mage to run clear and start another spell before the targets come back to full speed.
• The fact that the secondary effect is a [Dazed] is very powerful. By definition, no class can break a daze early. Once you've snared a creature with Blast Wave, it stays snared for the full 6 seconds.
