+'''Scale Belly''' is a {{reputation|hostile}} level 45 [[rare mob]] [[basilisk]] found in [[Stranglethorn Vale]].
-'''Pyroblast''' is a [[mage]] spell that deals massive fire damage (its highest rank can [[crit]] for nearly 4000 damage) with a large [[direct damage]] portion then a [[damage over time]] portion. The spell is acquired as a talent, requiring 11 points in the fire tree. Due to its very long cast time, Pyroblast is popular with mages who also have [[Presence of Mind]], especially the so-called [[Three-Minute Mage]].

-==Talent improvement==
+[[Category:Rare mobs]]
-[[Flame Throwing]] extends the range of Pyroblast to 41 yards at max rank.
-Pyroblast deals [[fire]] damage, and thus gains the benefit of the talents [[Impact]], [[Ignite]], [[Burning Soul]], [[Master of Elements]], [[Critical Mass]], [[Fire Power]], [[Pyromaniac]], and [[Elemental Precision (mage talent)|Elemental Precision]].
-As with all mage spells capable of critical hits [[Arcane Instability]], [[Spell Power]], [[Molten Fury]], [[Playing with Fire]] and [[Shatter]] can increase the effective damage output of this spell.
-==Tips and tactics==
-Due to the long cast time, this can be used to open battles when soloing. This is one of the few things a fire mage can do to improve his mana efficiency; this spell has better [[DPM]] than [[Fireball]] but a DPS almost 2 times lower (casting twice as long as improved Fireball and only a slight improve of DD).  Use of Pyroblast in a [[group]] is not recommended unless the [[tank]] has sufficient [[threat]].
-However, mages that have this talent and [[Presence of Mind]] combine the two to devastating effect; an [[instant]] heavy damage ball of fire to the face. If it is used in this way, it is probably best to open with [[Frostbolt]] (for snare) or Fireball (for damage) and then activate Presence of Mind, and then cast this. Since the [[DoT]] effect for each Pyroblast cast does not stack, it would probably not be worth opening with Pyroblast, followed by the instant Pyroblast. The [[DoT]] from [[Fireball]] does stack with Pyroblast's, however.
-Double Pyroblast Combo: If the caster is Arcane/Fire specced, make a macro for Presence of Mind and Pyroblast, and possibly with Arcane Power between those two, if the caster has the spell. Then, drag the macro down to your bars, and open a fight with 1. A manual pyroblast, and 2. The PoM/Pyro Macro. This is a high threat combination, so be sure that your tank has enough Threat before doing this in an instance, or you might be very hard to regain aggro from.
-==Past changes==
-Prior to [[Patch 1.11]] Pyroblast had a 1 minute cooldown.  The spell was changed to have no cooldown, allowing it to be chain-casted.
