Flame Orb is a new ability for mages in Cataclysm, learned at 81. Casting the spell launches an Orb in a straight line in the direction the mage is facing. The orb will first move at fast speed until it encounters a target and will then slow down and fire at the closest target in range.

Talents

Spell holy greaterheal [Fire Power] adds an explosion at the end of the spell's duration (or sooner, if the orb doesn't find a valid target within ~5 seconds). Spell firefrost orb [Frostfire Orb] converts the spell into a Frostfire Orb, dealing Frostfire damage.

Known Bugs

  • The Orb will attack critters if they are closer than an real enemy target.
  • The Orb will pull mobs not engaged in combat if they're closer than other mobs.
  • The Orb will break any Crowd Control spells that are not Spell nature polymorph [Polymorph].
  • Because of pathing issues in many areas like Maloriak's Laboratory or the Platform of Siamat, the orb may despawn as soon as it is summoned, wasting the spell entirely.
